Experience and sensitivity
Our master perfumers
We often compare the role of a perfumer to that of a traveller: both are explorers, open to the unknown and able to take on board influences so they can create new meaningful synthetic combinations.
Giovanni D'Agostinis,
Chemical cosmetologist
Graduated in industrial chemistry in Bologna, his career as a cosmetologist passes, as Technical Director and Plant Manager, through important Italian companies. At 34 he became president of the SICC, Italian Society of Chemistry and Cosmetic Sciences. His experience in the sector ranges from the creation and organization of industrial facilities and services, to the formulation and production of cosmetics, toiletries and alcoholic perfumery products, to technical marketing and communication. He is a lecturer in various Masters in Cosmetology.
From 1980 to 1998 he published the magazine of cosmetology "Cosmetics & Toiletries Italian Edition" and then founded Kosmetica, merged into the publishing house Tecniche Nuove of which today he is Scientific Director. Since 1998 he has been a company consultant.
Research and development
The heart of our work
Our work is based on lifelong education: we’re conducting research into new perfume accords, we’re discovering new raw materials, and we’re implementing increasingly accurate analysis methods so we can keep creating fragrances that express an emotion and leave people with a specific memory.
Our research and development team is increasing our database and experience: more than 2,000 new items a year, over 1,000 analysis tests a year during the research and development phase, and 10,000 quality control analysis tests during production.
But we don’t just conduct laboratory research: our marketing department analyses market developments and progress with the competition so we’re always up with the latest trends and can find new olfactory combinations that are able to give your product a unique, recognisable character.

Checks and certifications for your safety
The complicated legal framework that has been established over the past decade, both with the enforcement of horizontal legislation, such as REACH (EC Regulation No 1907/2006) and CLP (EC Regulation No 1272/2008), and vertical or product legislation, such as the Cosmetics Regulation (EC No 1223/2009), has led CreaSens to focus its attention every day on these aspects that increasingly require an integrated approach to fully protect people’s health and the environment.
CreaSens can provide regulatory advice, while constantly keeping product technical and safety documentation up-to-date, in particular regarding EC Regulation No 1223/2009 which lays down the requirements that every cosmetics product on the market has to comply with in order to guarantee the protection of human health and consumer information, setting out restrictions on contained substances and clarifying the minimum requirements for product labelling.
Once a safe product has been developed, CreaSens ensures compliance with the standards and guidelines issued by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), an organisation which represents the interests and serves as the voice for the perfume industry all around the world.
Responsible communication all throughout the production chain completes the compliance with the compulsory regulatory framework but additional regulatory support is still provided by focusing on voluntary certifications. CreaSens can formulate fragrances that will be awarded certifications for cosmetics products, such as:
Ecocert
ICEA
Cosmos
CCPB
NATRUE
AIAB
Compliance with specifications, such as the complete absence of allergens or their absence in the concentrations used, completes our customer support in terms of voluntary regulations and customised requests.
