With this center debut, Firmenich aims to help clients enhance authentic storytelling to reflect the rich olfactive history of China. The center plans to organize mini exhibitions and forum sessions for exchanges, designed to bring customers additional co-creation opportunities.
“The opening of Villa Harmony reiterates our bold ambitions in creating an ecosystem of partnerships in China, in never-before-seen spaces. We are demonstrating our confidence in leading the Fragrance segment in the dynamic Chinese market, paving the way for customers to discover new olfactive directions,” said Paul Andersson, President of Firmenich China.
