In Fragrance & Beauty there was a continuation of the good performance from Fine Fragrances and Active Beauty , with both segments having already shown a strong improvement in the first half of 2021 , as retail activity picked up and as customers and consumers maximised the availability of other channels , including direct selling and e - commerce . In Taste & Wellbeing the foodservice segment , whilst still being impacted by the COVID - 19 pandemic , experienced a continuation of the strong recovery that was experienced in the second quarter , as restrictions in relation to out of home food and beverage consumption continued to ease in certain markets . " I am very happy with our continued strong performance across all parts of our business and in particular the ongoing recovery in Fine Fragrances , Active Beauty and in foodservice " said CEO Gilles Andrier . " We have made excellent progress in our 2025 strategic growth initiatives and whilst the external environment still contains many uncertainties , we have demonstrated a strong focus on execution , in supporting our customers and in playing an important role in the global supply chain in food and beverage as well as in household , health and personal care products .
