Symrise Sunset Cruise & Dinner with Victoria Secret Pink Model Rachel Hilbert at the World Perfumery Congress in Miami

Achim Daub,  President, Scent & Care of Symrise, the world’s largest supplier of fragrance raw materials, was the featured speaker on Monday at the World Perfumery Congress at the Fontainebleau Miami. Daub spoke on Symrise’s recent acquisition of Pinova, and the importance of backwards integration – the concept of controlling their supply chain “from source to scent” as a way of maintaining sustainability, transparency and traceability in a world where consumers increasingly want to know what they are putting both in and on their bodies.
