 |
Robertet bottles "eau de profit" along with the essences of jasmine and ginger. The company, founded in 1850, uses natural ingredients to produce scents and flavors used in perfumes, cosmetics, air fresheners, foods, and beverages. Robertet's team of 25 perfumers develops new products and new extraction methods and helps to spot and develop trends in areas such as perfumery, aromatherapy, and aramachology (the study of the effects of smells on human behavior). The company also manufactures perfumes and other toiletries. Sales growth has come from recent gains in luxury perfumery. It has operations worldwide, with exports accounting for more than 80% of sales. The Mauberts family owns more than 50% of Robertet.
