Fragrance-only house designing scents for fine fragrance, personal care, and household products
CPL Aromas is a UK-based fragrance manufacturer founded in 1971, competing as a pure-play scent designer across fine fragrance, personal care, home, and household segments. The tech stack is operationally focused—SAP, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Oracle—reflecting a manufacturing-heavy business managing supply chains, quality, and customer relationships. Hiring velocity is accelerating across operations and manufacturing roles, while active projects underscore dual priorities: fragrance innovation (raw material databases, new formulation commercialization) and operational scaling (automation capex, QSHE standardization). Cost pressures dominate: reducing raw material spend, meeting customer price expectations, and improving lead times appear across pain points.
