What do scent companies do?
Scent companies blend natural and synthetic aroma materials into fragrances that perfumers develop to a client's brief, and some also make candles, diffusers and scent systems for shops and hotels. Their customers are perfume and cosmetics brands, detergent makers, retailers and businesses that use scent on their premises.
Our data comes from the business registers of 29 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for scent companies: they sit in SIC codes 2844 (perfumes, cosmetics, and other toilet preparations), 2869 (industrial organic chemicals, not elsewhere classified) and 2087 (flavoring extracts and flavoring syrups, not elsewhere classified), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for perfume and fragrance makers. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 3,489 of them (99%) sit in class 20.42 (manufacture of perfumes and toilet preparations), part of division 20 (manufacture of chemicals and chemical products).
