The 2025 edition of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress (BPC), held June 18-19, at La Farga in Barcelona, Spain, concluded with resounding success, bringing together over 2,000 attendees, 100 exhibitors and more than 50 international speakers for two days of innovation, inspiration and global collaboration within the fragrance industry.

This year’s congress marks a significant milestone in BPC’s international expansion, having tripled the number of international exhibitors compared to its 2023 edition. Industry leaders from across Argentina, Germany, Egypt, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Japan, Sri Lanka, Mexico, the Netherlands, Somalia, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United States showcased cutting-edge developments across the entire fragrance value chain—from raw materials and formulation to packaging, technology, and sustainability.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage in high-level discussions, hands-on workshops, and live product demonstrations, while exploring the latest trends and technological advances reshaping the perfumery landscape. Topics ranged from biotech ingredients and olfactory neuroscience to AI-driven scent design and sustainable sourcing.

The congress also hosted the Barcelona Perfumery Awards, a ceremony dedicated to spotlighting trailblazing innovation and outstanding achievements across 13 carefully curated categories.

The Barcelona Perfumery Congress is a two-day event that combines educational content with a traditional expo to allow attendees to meet with the Spanish perfumery industry. The seventh edition of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress will be announced at a later date.
