Winston Score History

The full picture

Robertet is a French company that makes natural fragrances and flavors. It creates the scents and tastes found in perfumes, cosmetics, food, and beverages. The company is one of the oldest independent fragrance and flavor houses in the world, founded in 1850, and it specializes in natural raw materials rather than synthetic alternatives.

Robertet earns money by selling fragrance compounds, flavor ingredients, and natural extracts to large consumer goods companies, perfume brands, and food manufacturers. It operates mainly in Europe but also has a presence in North America, Asia, and other regions. Its competitive edge comes from owning its own supply chain for natural raw materials, including farms and extraction facilities, which gives it more control over quality and costs than many rivals. The main risk the company faces is volatility in the prices of natural ingredients, which can be affected by weather, harvests, and global supply disruptions.
