What if fragrance could take on a new form?
With ALTER-CAPTESSENCE, LESSONIA is redefining the possibilities of perfumery with a powder of natural origin capable of adsorbing up to 20% fragrance concentrate, while enhancing the expression of olfactory notes and promoting long-lasting fragrance on the skin.
To fully explore the potential of this innovation, LESSONIA has partnered with ONLY FRAGRANCES, an independent French fragrance house with over 20 years of expertise. This collaboration brings together two complementary areas of expertise: the development of natural cosmetic ingredients and the art of fragrance creation.

A Powder That Captures Fragrance to Better Reveal It
Made from Breton kaolin and micronized bamboo powder, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE is a natural-origin alternative to silica.
Its powder structure allows it to retain up to 20% fragrance concentrate while maintaining a fine, lightweight, free-flowing texture, without clumping.
This adsorption capacity makes it an ideal carrier for creating alcohol-free powder perfumes, as well as incorporating fragrances into anhydrous cosmetic formulations.
LESSONIA x ONLY FRAGRANCES: Unlocking the Olfactory Potential of Powder
To go beyond technical performance, LESSONIA is collaborating with ONLY FRAGRANCES, whose expertise in fragrance creation enables the exploration of the olfactory possibilities offered by ALTER-CAPTESSENCE.
This partnership combines LESSONIA’s expertise in natural cosmetic ingredients with ONLY FRAGRANCES’ perfumery know-how to explore different fragrance compositions using this innovative carrier.
From floral accords to gourmand and musky notes, this collaboration aims to showcase the powder’s potential for fragrance expression and to create new olfactory experiences.
One Ingredient, Multiple Cosmetic Applications
ALTER-CAPTESSENCE can be used as an ingredient to develop powder perfumes or as a formulation aid for fragranced anhydrous cosmetics.
Its main applications include:
- Powder perfumes: Creation of alcohol-free fragrances containing up to 20% fragrance concentrate.
- Makeup: Fragranced loose powders and anhydrous formulations with a mattifying effect.
- Haircare: Fragranced dry shampoos with a lightweight texture.
- Skincare: Anhydrous skincare products incorporating fragrance.
Available in two grades, irradiated and heat-treated, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE meets the various technical requirements of formulators.
