  1. Global portfolios, one contact

    Materials from the world’s leading manufacturers, several of whom we represent in the UK, through one team that knows your account.

  2. Stocked in Suffolk

    We hold stock in our own on-site warehouse in Bury St Edmunds, so more of what you need is already on the shelf, not on a ship.

  3. Packed to your quantity

    Variable, non-restrictive packing means you order what your formula needs, not what a pack size dictates.

  4. Fast, flexible answers

    Independence means no layers of sign-off. Ask a question and get a quick answer from someone who can actually help.

  5. Family owned and independent

    Founded in 1984 and family owned since our 2004 management buy-out. Decisions get made around the table, not up a chain of command.

  6. Every customer counts

    Start-up perfumer or multinational flavour house, you get the same friendly, personal attention. The size of the order never decides the size of the welcome.

Nature’s notes, decoded

The molecules behind the notes you know

Every familiar scent and flavour has a molecular signature. Here are eight from our shelves, and the notes they bring to a formula.

  1. Lemon

    O

    Citral 95

    CAS 5392-40-5Fresh, sharp lemon

    The main component of lemongrass oil, and the backbone of countless lemon accords.

  2. Spearmint

    O

    L-Carvone

    CAS 6485-40-1Sweet spearmint

    Its mirror-image twin, D-carvone, smells of caraway. Same atoms, different nose.

  3. Vanilla

    OOOH

    Ethyl Vanillin

    CAS 121-32-4Rich, creamy vanilla

    A close cousin of vanillin and several times stronger, so a little goes a long way.

  4. Peach

    OO

    Gamma Undecalactone Natural

    CAS 104-67-6Juicy, creamy peach

    Known to generations of perfumers as ‘Aldehyde C-14’, even though it isn’t an aldehyde at all.

  5. Rose

    O

    Beta Damascone

    CAS 23726-91-2Rose, plum, blackcurrant

    One of the ‘rose ketones’, named after the Damask rose, and powerful at tiny doses.

  6. Orange blossom

    OONH2

    Methyl Anthranilate

    CAS 134-20-3Orange blossom, grape

    The signature note of Concord grapes, and a classic in neroli and orange-flower accords.

  7. Pear

    OO

    Hexyl Acetate

    CAS 142-92-7Fresh pear, green apple

    An ester that occurs naturally in apples and pears, and brings their bite to fruity accords.

  8. Star anise

    O

    Anethole FG

    CAS 4180-23-8Sweet anise, liquorice

    The defining molecule of anise, star anise and fennel, in a grade made for flavours.

Our story

Four decades of flavour & fragrance

SRS Aromatics was founded in 1984 with a simple aim: to supply high-quality raw materials to the fragrance and flavour industries at competitive prices, with an exceptional level of service. Forty years on, that aim hasn’t changed.

We’ve grown organically, built strong relationships with manufacturers around the world and earned a reputation as a reliable, trustworthy partner. Since a management buy-out in 2004 we’ve been a truly independent, family-owned business, run on good values from Beodric House in Bury St Edmunds.

The SRS Aromatics building on Boldero Road, Bury St Edmunds, with the flower logo sign above the gates
Beodric House, Bury St Edmunds: our offices and on-site warehouse.

  1. 1984

    SRS Aromatics begins supplying raw materials to the fragrance and flavour industries.

  2. 2000

    A new identity, and a promise that still stands: bringing flavour and fragrance to your world.

  3. 2004

    Independent & family owned

    A management buy-out by today’s team makes SRS a truly independent, family-owned business.

  4. 2011

    The flower you see today blooms for the first time.

  5. Today

    1,000+ materials

    UK partner to eight world-leading producers, with the same personal service we started with.
