Who We Are

We supply the ingredients — you create the memory.

—  Foreign Scent Supplying Syndicate, 1942 → F.E.R., 2002

Since 1942, Flavour & Essence Resource has supplied the aroma chemicals and natural essential oils that power the world’s flavour, fragrance, and personal care industries. What began as the Foreign Scent Supplying Syndicate is today a modern manufacturing operation spanning our Mumbai office and our Silvassa production facility — equipped to handle everything from 0.01-litre lab batches to 10,000-litre commercial production.

We believe good quality shouldn’t come at a premium. Every batch that leaves our facility is backed by in-house R&D, rigorous quality control, and a green chemistry approach that keeps our environmental footprint low. Whether you’re formulating a fine fragrance, a flavour essence, or an incense blend, we supply the ingredients — you create the memory.

Our new subsidiary, Flavour & Essence Resource Tech in Sarigam, Gujarat, expands production capacity and develops new products through new chemistries — broadening our R&D footprint beyond Silvassa.
