"We see the consumer becoming more inquisitive about the ingredients in their fragrances, not just from a masculine or feminine perspective, but also from a sourcing viewpoint and the way fragrances are derived. There is a negative stigma of the use of 'safe synthetics' or 'safe molecular naturals,' which are molecular derivatives of a raw material, which helps preserve our natural resources. CLEAN wants to change the way consumers experience fragrance, educating the consumer about mindful beauty, natural doesn't always mean sustainable, and removing the stigmas around the perfume industry,” said Greta Fitz, VP global marketing and product development, Fusion Brands America, Inc.
