Discover our holistic, science-backed fragrance solutions to meet the needs of the world’s fastest-growing age group.
Givaudan just launched a ground-breaking new programme focusing exclusively on the silver generation. Through extensive neuroscience and consumer research, we have deepened our understanding of the needs of over-55s in the context of fragrance and its connection to wellbeing. Now, we are using this knowledge to apply and develop fragrance solutions to enhance seniors’ quality of life – from better sleep quality to higher energy levels.

The bigger picture
Longer life expectancy and declining birth rates are dramatically changing the demographics of the globe towards a growing ageing population. However, when it comes to developing new products, the needs of older consumers are not always considered. Now, Givaudan is on a mission to change that, with our Silver Radiance™ programme.

Combining neuroscience research with consumer insights
Givaudan has been studying wellbeing since the 1970s, including specific work on seniors initiated almost ten years ago. The Silver Radiance™ programme aims to bring concrete innovations and solutions to this population, through a holistic approach towards emotional, behavioural and physical benefits.
The Silver Radiance™ programme aims to bring concrete innovations and solutions to this population, through a holistic approach that supports wellbeing with emotional, behavioural and physical benefits.
The first step was to understand how the physiological changes that come with ageing, including the impact on the sense of smell, can affect seniors’ wellbeing. To do this, through open innovation we collected data from more than 7,000 seniors in 11 countries around the world.
This enabled us to identify which of our existing solutions best suit this population, and to validate our findings. Looking ahead, it will also allow us to develop new, targeted technologies for seniors.
Introducing the Silver Radiance™ solutions
A unique portfolio of technologies and active ingredients that answers seniors’ specific needs
Sleep: DreamScentz™
Our research shows that poor quality sleep is one of the factors that has a negative impact on the silver generation’s wellbeing. DreamScentz™ helps seniors prepare for a good night’s sleep by contributing to a calm atmosphere – so they can have a better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.
Energy: MoodScentz™+
Many seniors reported lower energy levels as they get older, but remaining active is an essential part of healthy ageing. Designed to awaken the senses, MoodScentz™+ Invigorating can help seniors to feel uplifted and invigorated in their daily lives.
Wellbeing: VivaScentz™
Mental wellbeing plays a key role in healthy ageing. Our VivaScentz™ technology helps to boost feel good feelings by infusing consumers’ environment with a wellbeing enhancing scent.
