SENSORA™, IFF’s light-activated pro-fragrance experience enhancer

“With SENSORA™, we are advancing fragrance performance into a new territory — one where scent continues to reveal itself in real life, long after the first moment of use,” said Ana Paula Mendonça, president of IFF Scent. “By combining pro-fragrance science with our deep expertise in fragrance design, we are creating more enduring, more meaningful experiences that bring consumers joy.”

Where pro-fragrance science meets fragrance experience enhancement

A pro-fragrance is a delivery system designed for the controlled release of scent. At the core of SENSORA™ is an innovative pro-fragrance mechanism engineered to unlock complex olfactive dimensions over time. This activation is triggered by light — both indoor and outdoor — enabling a controlled, phased release of scent from storage through wear.

SENSORA™ is designed to:

Sustain fragrance presence well beyond washing and into use
Reveal new olfactive facets over time, enhancing richness and sophistication
Extend scent perception for days — up to 20 days after activation

First application: fabric care

Today, IFF introduces Floral Fusion under the SENSORA™ platform — its first light-activated pro-fragrance specifically designed for liquid detergents — as part of its fragrance experience enhancer portfolio. It delivers a long-lasting, evolving scent experience, releasing refined floral notes on dry fabrics, enriching the fragrance experience beyond the original scent signature.

“SENSORA™ gives our customers a powerful new way to differentiate in laundry care, a category where consumers increasingly expect fragrance to deliver both lasting impact and elevated sensorial pleasure,” said Jan Bechtel, senior vice president of consumer fragrance for IFF Scent. “Starting with liquid detergents, this breakthrough offering creates new opportunities to build memorable product experiences, strengthen brand preference and respond to evolving consumer expectations.”

Meeting a clear consumer shift

An IFF global usage and attitudes survey conducted in 17 countries in 2026 found that consumers are increasingly seeking benefits that go beyond freshness to deliver lasting impact and sensorial pleasure:

More than one-third expect laundry fragrance to last longer
Nearly one in four want scent to remain noticeable for at least four days

SENSORA™ responds directly to these expectations, delivering premium scent performance designed for real-life conditions.

A scalable platform for future innovation

Part of IFF’s SCENT+™ innovation pillar and grounded in its Science of Performance, SENSORA™ integrates seamlessly into fragrance compositions, giving perfumers precise control to design bespoke performance profiles.

“SENSORA™ represents a step-change in how we design fragrance performance,” said Mohammed Ashour, vice president of innovation for IFF Scent. “Its light-activated pro-fragrance mechanism gives perfumers a new level of control to orchestrate how scent evolves, revealing new olfactive facets over time while providing a scalable platform for innovation across applications and categories.”

Archer® Proves Purpose-Built AI Beats General-Purpose LLMs on Regulatory Change Management: 95% Verified Accuracy, 80x Faster, 92% Lower Cost30.6.2026 16:13:00 CEST | Press Release

For enterprises deploying AI in compliance, a wrong date is a missed deadline. The more dangerous failure is a wrong answer the model returns with high confidence, one that flows silently into a compliance calendar and is only discovered after the window has passed. Archer® today released results showing purpose-built AI beats a general-purpose large language model (LLM) on regulatory work, and it’s not close. This head-to-head test compared Archer’s purpose-built, vertical-specific AI and proprietary data sets against a leading general-purpose LLM, on a core compliance task: determining the publication, effective and comment-close dates of regulatory documents across six jurisdictions. General-purpose models are a genuine breakthrough, and this is no referendum on their quality. The question Archer set out to answer is narrower and more practical: what it takes to make a specific, high-stakes determination reliable, fast and affordable at scale. A vertical, domain-focused process, gro

90% of IT Leaders See Gaps in AI Threat Readiness, Lenovo Brings Single Point of Accountability to Cyber Resiliency30.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release

As organizations accelerate AI adoption and digital workplace transformation, many are finding that cyber resilience is undermined not by a lack of security tools, but by growing operational complexity and threat sophistication. According to recent research, 90% of IT leaders acknowledge gaps in their ability to defend against AI-driven threats. While security investments continue to grow, many organizations face a different challenge: fragmented accountability. Security operations remain highly distributed and siloed, making it increasingly difficult to coordinate response efforts, maintain end-to-end business continuity, and recover quickly when incidents occur. To help organizations address this challenge, Lenovo is expanding its global Security Services portfolio with a revamped cyber resiliency framework and end-to-end security offerings designed to provide a single point of accountability, help organizations reduce security complexity, cut system downtime by up to 50%, and lower
