The division employs about 1,500 people including 60 perfumers in its creative and regional centres in the UK, the Netherlands, France, the USA, Brazil, Indonesia and Japan. Working in multi-disciplinary teams involving research chemists, marketing experts, fragrance evaluators and local account executives, the businesses are organised into specialist groups:

o Fine Fragrance - based in creative centres in Paris and New York, this group creates fragrances for many famous fragrance houses and fashion designers.

o Personal Care - produces fragrances for bath, shower, haircare and other toiletry products such as deodorants and anti-perspirants. The group also encompasses the Oral Care and Cosmetic Ingredients groups.

o Household and Fabrics - produces fragrances for functional products such as household cleaners and laundry detergents. This team combines creativity with technology to provide fragrances which complement and enhance products used by consumers worldwide.

o Fragrance Materials - in addition to the creative art of perfumery, the Fragrance Division also designs and manufactures fragrance materials. The materials provide novel and functional ingredients unique to Quest which enhance the work of its perfumers. The Fragrance Materials business also sells to third parties in the fragrance industry.

All the product groups are supported by Quest Fragrance R&D, centred at the divisional headquarters in Ashford.
