Here’s what our customers say
The disinfectant bases we are using for the industrial market are so difficult to work with. Thanks for your expertise and guidance getting our product to market so quickly!
The technical and innovation expertise Agilex provided allowed us to double our reed diffuser business. Thank you for your collaboration and hard work.
Thank you so much for being an amazing partner, especially during Covid-19. Your immediate response on the complicated regulatory around IFRA 49 helped us to pivot our manufacturing to hand sanitizers. Not only did this keep our manufacturing lines open and our lights on, it allowed us to keep our customers safe.
The “A” in Agilex stands for ADORE…adore their fragrances, their team, their speed!
I was stunned by the concept-to-launch support that Agilex provides. And their expertise in candles and ready to pour reed diffusers helped me create the product line I always dreamed of making. Thank you Agilex.
Stability testing and regulatory information were always a stumbling block with other fragrance houses. Not with Agilex. The thoroughness and speed that Agilex provides helps us not only get to market faster, but to get there hassle-free.
Agilex has been an amazing partner. From trend reports, to concept, through product development, to final manufacturing, they’ve been a true joy to work with. I can’t imagine a better team to create with.
As a small business, Agilex has understood our issues and been a tremendous help in supplying our needs. The products and pricing are outstanding, with the best part being their tremendous customer service.

For perfumer Neha Okhade, discovering how different cultures experience and appreciate fragrance isn’t a limitation — it’s an invitation to create.
Every market, tradition, and olfactive preference offers a new perspective: an opportunity to understand what resonates with people and translate those insights into something unexpected. Rather than approaching cultural differences as a formula to follow, Neha sees them as a creative challenge -- one that pushes her to explore new materials, rethink familiar notes, and develop fragrances that feel both relevant and imaginative.
Because fragrance may be experienced differently around the world, but the creative possibilities are limitless.
One world. Many perspectives. Endless ways to create
Camp Agilex was officially in session this summer!
Our HQ became a Minecraft-inspired world where fragrance and imagination came together.
Our campers designed lab coats, created lotions and shower gels, tackled a scavenger hunt, watched a volcano erupt and enjoyed a visit from the ice cream truck. 🍦
A huge thank you to Jennifer Kappes for creating such a memorable day for our littlest creators!

☀️A little California team time from our West Coast manufacturing facility
Dave Chakrin, who you may remember as the quarterback of our Customer Experience team, and Rodrigo Salmon Aguirre recently spent a few days with our Van Nuys team, connecting, catching up and learning more about what’s happening across the facility. Of course, there was also time for a team BBQ!
Our dual-coast manufacturing footprint is an important part of how Agilex supports customers across the country, and it is always great to spend time with the people who make it possible.
Big thanks to the entire Van Nuys team for being such wonderful hosts!

Our internal smelling sessions keep our noses in the know.
We explore new launches, brands and emerging scent directions to stay connected to what is happening across the market.
A little curiosity. A lot of smelling. Always learning.

✨ Meet Maria Lim, Customer Experience at Agilex.
Maria’s CX superpower? The follow-up. 👀
From the moment an order is entered to the moment it ships and invoices, Maria is watching the details, keeping customers updated and jumping in to solve problems along the way.
For Maria, great CX means delivering “white glove” service and making every customer feel like they’re the priority.
And the three words she uses to describe the Agilex CX team?
Agile. Awesome. Amazing. 💙
We think that describes Maria pretty well, too.

Earlier this spring, we officially opened our reimagined Creative HQ.
High walls came down to make way for a brighter, more open environment with shared spaces designed for connection and collaboration.
We also welcomed the @dsmfirmenich.beautyandcare.na team into our space, bringing even more people, expertise and ideas together under one roof.
Because great things happen when the walls come down. We can’t wait to welcome you inside.
