Cosmo International Fragrances

What Cosmo International Fragrances does

Cosmo International Fragrances is a privately held, family-owned B2B fragrance house founded in 1982, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with its primary European operations and a 7,000+ m2 manufacturing plant (75% automated) in Granollers, Spain. The company manufactures fragrance oils and provides end-to-end fragrance development services across four horizontal segments — Fine Fragrance, Personal Care, Home Care, and Household — serving well-established independent brands, prestige/specialty/mass personal care companies, and home care manufacturers worldwide.

The company operates a 360-degree development model that integrates the PULSE consumer-trend platform, in-house perfumery, creative centers in Paris and Barcelona, an R&D footprint anchored in Grasse, France, and exclusive natural ingredients sourced from its own farms and long-term partnerships in Peru, Colombia, Nepal, Morocco, India, and Indonesia. Its technology stack includes a portfolio of proprietary and patent-pending delivery and extraction systems — Scent'Element, ScentBloom, ScentBloom Duo, ScentSilent (including a pet care extension), AquaElixir, Craftivity, and Everspray (co-developed with Doctor Aromas) — plus ScentElligence, an AI platform that applies deep-learning algorithms to physicochemical data on 3,000+ raw materials to predict fragrance performance and optimize formulations.

Cosmo monetizes primarily through B2B quotation-based commercial contracts spanning custom fragrance creation, exclusive natural ingredient supply, technology licensing, and full-service product development. The company is privately held with no disclosed revenue or external funding rounds; leadership is led by President Marc Blaison (himself a perfumer), supported by a PhD-led Technology Division, regional general managers across the US, Europe, the Gulf, and Asia, and a sales-and-creative network spanning more than a dozen global offices.
