Explanation of Responses:

1. Acquisition under IFF's 401(k) Plan caused by an administrative correction regarding the contribution of matching funds. This administrative correction resulted in a decrease in Units held by the reporting person under the Company's deferred compensation plan and the increase in the reporting person's IFF holdings under the 401(k) Plan that is reported here.

2. Closing market price on date of acquisition under the 401(k) Plan.

3. Includes holdings under the 401(k) Plan representing 1,604 IFF shares. In previous reports, the reporting person's holdings under the 401(k) Plan were reported as units based on Vanguard's IFF Stock Fund unit price. Going forward, these holdings will now be reported as IFF shares. This conversion from unit to share reporting caused the previously reported amount of the reporting person's IFF 401(k) holdings to decrease by 4,159. This information is presented as of April 15, 2008.

4. The Stock Units ("Units") convert to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

5. Units under the Company's deferred compensation plan resulting from (a) deferral of compensation and Company match (in shares), (b) premium (in shares) to participants deferring compensation into Units and (c) dividends (in shares) on Units. 44 of the acquired Units are subject to vesting based on employment through December 31, 2009.

6. The total number of Units held by the reporting person has been decreased by 26 Units to reflect the administrative correction regarding contribution of matching funds described in footnote (1) above.
