About Klabin Fragrances

Led by president and chief perfumer Saul Klabin, Klabin Fragrances began operations in 1998 and has grown to be a global supplier while remaining a family owned company.

Saul started his career as a perfumer at IFF in New York in 1967 and quickly advanced, formulating many successful fragrances. After years as a chief perfumer at Norda in the late 70’s and 80’s, he moved on to other leadership roles eventually founding Klabin Fragrances, Inc. The company was built from the ground up with his son Justin who continues today as VP and operations manager.

From an early start in the hospitality sector, the business added air care and home fragrance which provided early growth. Today Klabin is asserting itself at the creative forefront in the skin and haircare sector. These areas are key to growth in the next several years including areas of naturals and plant extracts.
