EDISON, N.J. and BOZEMAN, Mont. and NEW YORK, April 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Caswell-Massey, America’s Original Perfumers and Chemists; International Flavors & Fragrances,
Inc (IFF) a global leader of taste, scent and nutrition; and Yellowstone Forever, the official nonprofit
partner of Yellowstone National Park, are introducing a new ‘Living Floral’ collection of Fragrance Tonics and Moisturizing Oils
captured from plant species at Yellowstone National Park, using IFF’s headspace technology. A portion of the proceeds of the
collection will support Yellowstone Forever’s mission of engagement and support through education and fundraising for the park to
ensure Yellowstone remains an incredible resource for generations to come, including work to preserve and protect endangered plant
species within the park.
The Yellowstone Living Florals collection, launching in April 2019, will include five Fragrance Tonics and five
Moisturizing Oils made with Organic Argan and Jojoba Oils. All products in the collection are derived from Living Florals and
named for five landmark regions within the park: Lake, Canyon, Mammoth, Tower Fall, and Old
Faithful. Fragrance Tonics will retail at $48 for a 100ml Bottle; Moisturizing Oils will retail at $42.00 for a 30ml
Bottle.
The Yellowstone Living Floral project has been in development for over five years, started under a scientific
research permit granted to IFF in 2014 to work with Yellowstone National Park botanists to study and preserve some of the plant
species unique to the park. Using IFF’s headspace technology applied to the living flora, IFF was able to identify the “scent
signature” of several of these plant species and to recreate “nature identical” scent molecules using sustainably sourced materials
without damaging or harming these rare botanical species. These nature-identical molecules were carefully refined by IFF perfumers
for the collection.
The tonic packaging features images from Yellowstone’s photography and art archives, and all products include
collectible cards with historical photos and artwork from the park along with information about supporting Yellowstone Forever.
Additional expeditions are planned for 2019, with more products planned for the collection in 2020.
The five tonics included in the collection are:
LAKE is fresh, bright, and beautiful, with top notes of Verbena, Solar Flower and Lavender;
base notes of Amber and a hint of Plant-based Musk. Composed by IFF Perfumer MacKenzie Reilly.
CANYON has the scent of fresh mountain air with Green base notes & a bright, Aquatic opening,
with notes of Blue Lupine, Mountain Forget Me Not, Pine, Juniper, Cedar, & Moss. Composed by IFF VP Perfumer Yves Cassar.
MAMMOTH captures the spring thaw of this region with fresh citrus and aromatic notes including
Sage, Mountain Haygrass, Cedarwood, & Earthy Undertones. Composed by IFF Perfumer MacKenzie Reilly.
TOWER FALL has mineral notes combined with native aromatics and woods. Includes
Living Rocky Mountain Phlox, Mountain Forget Me Not, Juniper, Wild Violet, Cedar, & Amber. Composed by IFF Perfumer MacKenzie
Reilly.
OLD FAITHFUL is derived from rare botanicals near the most active thermal features in the park.
Old Faithful is the most unusual and unique scent, with Sagebrush, Tree Moss, Birch, & a strong scent of Smoky Wood. Composed by
IFF Senior Perfumer Laurent LeGuernec.
In addition to the collection, Caswell-Massey and IFF will be supporting an educational program within the park
to educate visitors about rare and endangered plant species at Yellowstone.
Caswell-Massey President Nick Arauz lead the development of the project for Caswell-Massey and visited
Yellowstone with IFF and the Yellowstone National Park botanist in 2017 and 2018 for the development of the project: “This
collaboration has been nothing short of amazing for Caswell-Massey. It’s one of the most remarkable projects our company has
undertaken in our 267 year history; and as an American company driven by an intense curiosity for botanical formulations, this
Yellowstone Living Floral Collection is a remarkable partnership that enables us to bring the incredible experience of the park
directly to our customers.”
“This partnership is a great example of corporate stewardship and research that will strengthen education and
preservation efforts in Yellowstone for years to come,” said Yellowstone Forever President & CEO Heather White. “We’re delighted
that this unique new collection of products will introduce many people to this wonderful park and help share the treasures found
within it.”
“With IFF’s 130-year history, it is an honor to partner with these iconic organizations to create a fragrance
collection that is olfactively engaging, deeply resonant with our commitment to sustainability and pays tribute to American
perfumery,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz, Divisional CEO Scent, IFF. “In fragrance creation, there is a great respect for the
gifts and wonder that nature provides and we are committed to protect it while showcasing its treasured scents. With each of these
fragrances, I believe our perfumers have captured some of this natural magic of Yellowstone—and the essence of one of the most
breathtakingly impressive areas in the world.”
