“The growth of scented candle sales during the pandemic highlighted the important wellness benefits that fragrance delivers to our daily lives. The fragrance value chain is facing unprecedented impacts including significant supply chain challenges and increased regulatory activity, as well as new opportunities to advance innovation (green fragrance chemistries) and consumer understanding of the benefits that scented products provide. We look forward to continuing to work together, and with all responsible stakeholders, to advance responsible policies and programs—for people, perfume, and the planet.”
