LMR Naturals by IFF—a supplier of natural ingredients for perfumery, cosmetics and flavors—has introduced Tonka Bean CO₂ Absolute to its Conscious Collection, a line of sustainable ingredients for perfumes and flavors.

Tonka Bean CO₂ Absolute is a natural extract with a gourmand olfactive signature, according to the company. This new addition to the perfumer’s palette is produced with renewable and recycled materials at IFF’s extraction site in Aubrac, France.

The new Tonka Bean extract features enhanced performance and cost efficiency, said IFF.

With origins that can be traced to the Amazon rainforest, the LMR Tonka Bean CO₂ brings added naturality, warmth and luxurious texture to fragrances, said the company. Its smooth roasted-almond top note and sun-dried hay nuance combined with cocoa undertones create a richer, more velvety scent experience than traditional Tonka absolute.

“I love that it brings captivating new dimensions,” said Alexandra Carlin, senior perfumer at IFF. “It has a brown sugar twist, a hint of buckwheat and even a subtle touch of cocoa. It’s unexpectedly sweet and salty at the same time and deeply intriguing.”

Expanded Resources

Tonka Bean CO₂ marks IFF’s latest advancement in shaping the future of fragrance innovation, it contends. This announcement follows the recent inauguration of the expanded site in Grasse, France, as reported in Happi.

LMR Naturals is a trademarked capability within IFF, originally founded in 1983 by Monique Remy and acquired by IFF in 2000.
