Malodour is a natural process that affects daily life, directly influencing mood and emotions.

At Givaudan we understand that negative olfactive experiences impact our consumers overall wellbeing. With over 35 years of expertise, our Zap malodour solution platform is a leader in the science behind malodour, as well as its composition, generation and effect upon our consumers emotion.

Our research, at the intersection of biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and sensory science, enables the development of advanced malodour counteraction technologies, which are continually enriched to meet the evolving needs of consumers.

Additionally, we are able to combine our malodour technologies, offering original and effective solutions to address even the smallest of consumer malodour concerns.

Innovative solutions for a beautiful olfactive experience

With our multifaceted approach, we integrate several mechanisms for odour reduction, prevention, elimination, and protection. Our portfolio includes over twenty technologies, tailored to consumers around the globe needs and a diverse range of consumer products.

Through collaboration with perfumers, we craft solutions that merge efficacy with artistry, enhancing sensorial experiences. With five key pillars – DeoZap™, YouZap™, FabZap™, HomeZap™, and PetZap™ – we effectively target malodours, improving our consumers wellbeing and boosting their self-confidence.
