INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC.

                SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INVESTMENT PLAN ("SRIP")

     The accrual and payment of benefits under the Company's Retirement
Investment Fund Plan ("RIFP") may be limited by present and future government
rules covering qualified plans. A non-qualified Supplemental Retirement
Investment Plan ("SRIP") is hereby established to accrue each year and pay
upon retirement or other termination of employment that part of the RIFP
benefits that, because of governmentally imposed limitations, cannot be accrued
or paid by the qualified plan.

     This Plan shall be unfunded and shall be administered by a SRIP Committee
("the Committee"), the members of which shall be the same individuals as those
comprising the RIFP Administrative Committee.

     The SRIP Plan Year shall be the same as that of the RIFP.

     Any employee who is a Participant in the Company's RIFP and for whom
benefits calculated under this Plan would exceed benefits calculated under the
RIFP is also a Participant in this Plan.

     For purposes of this Plan, "Compensation or Rate or Compensation" is
defined as follows:

     "'Compensation or Rate of Compensation' of any Participant shall mean the
     basic rate of monthly compensation from the Company in effect for him on
     the Compensation Date (as defined in the RIFP), including one-twelfth

                                       -1-




     of any earnings deferred by him in respect of the Plan Year pursant to a
     then effective cash or deferred wage and salary conversion agreement
     ("CODA") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, but excluding
     compensation for overtime service, shift differential, bonuses, commissions
     and all other forms of fringe compensation or benefits and any amount
     contributed for him by the Company to any public or private employee
     benefit plan, including this Plan, other than contributions corresponding
     to CODA reductions referred to above."

     Amounts of benefits and rate of compensation calculated for this Plan shall
not be subject to limitations imposed by governmental enactments, rules or
regulations concerning qualified benefit plans, including those limitations
embodied in the RIFP under the "Compensation or Rate of Compensation" and
"Maximum Additions" sections.

     The calculation of benefits under this Plan for any Plan Year for any
Participant shall be performed as follows:

          First, the percentage of total "Compensation" (calculated under the
     provisions of RIFP then in effect) of all RIFP Participants for such year
     represented by the Company's total contribution to the RIFP for such year
     shall be determined to the third decimal place. Such percentage shall then
     be applied to the "Compensation" (calculated under the provisions of this
     Plan) for such Plan year of such Participant in this Plan to determine his

                                       -2-



     total allocation. Benefits accrued each Plan Year under this Plan for such
     Participant and allocated to his account shall be the excess, if any, of
     the allocation calculated as described above for this Plan over the
     contribution allocable to the Participant for the same Plan Year under the
     Company's RIFP and shall be payable in an all-cash, lump sum payment at the
     same time as the Participant's benefits under RIFP.

     The annual benefit allocated to each Participant's account under this Plan
shall be adjusted commencing the April 1 following the applicable Plan Year,
until actually paid to the Participant, by increasing it by interest at the same
average rate of return as earned from time to time by Retirement Investment Fund
A of the RIFP.

     Amounts payable under this Plan shall not be assignable or subject to
attachment or levy of any kind and may not be borrowed against or withdrawn
prior to retirement or other termination of employment.

     The Company may terminate this Plan at any time, whereupon the rights of
Participants to their benefits accrued and adjusted as aforesaid to the date of
such termination shall be nonforfeitable. The Company may amend this Plan at any
time by action of the Board of Directors but no amendment shall cause a
reduction in the amounts theretofore credited to any Participant, adjusted as
aforesaid.

     The effective date of this Plan shall be November 14, 1989, and benefits
shall be calculated and accrued hereunder for the 1989 Plan Year and subsequent
Plan Years.
