A little rain couldn’t spoil the party for Robertet. The company unveiled its Manhattan creative center on Fifth Avenue last week, just across the way from Trump Tower. The company, which boasts 50 affiliates worldwide, realizes 85% of its turnover outside of France, meaning that facilities such as the Manhattan studio are key. As CEO Philippe Maubert explains in an interview appearing in the August issue of Perfumer & Flavorist magazine, “We have to maintain and improve our high level of service and show a great deal of innovation.”
