Naturals Vs. Synthetics in Niche Perfume: ScentXplore 2022 Session

At ScentXplore 2022, one of the on-stage topics of discussion centered around the "naturals versus synthetic materials" debate from within the niche perfume community. A common theme among panelists mirrors what many in the fragrance community already know: that this debate seems irrelevant; that both naturals and synthetics have an obvious place in perfume composition; and that making broad statements about either naturals or synthetics breeds misunderstanding. We heard from a few panelists during this part of the discussion, including IFF perfumer Natasha Côté, independent perfumer Cecile Zarokian, fragrance content creator Glenn of MrCologne76, and fragrance writer Prasida Newman.
