The investment will allow the company to take greater control over the development of its fragrances, a key element of product appeal and consumer preference.
The new initiative will create a hybrid model where Unilever’s in-house teams, supported by digital tools and AI, will collaborate with external fragrance houses to develop unique scents.
“This initiative will enable us to create and develop our own fragrances, as well as continue to work closely with our important existing partners in the industry,” said Richard Slater, chief R&D officer at Unilever.
