The marketer’s contribution to the story will also be discussed as they will be responsible for speaking about the overall appeal of the fragrance composition.  Once the fragrance is determined the technician will work in the lab to stabilize coloring and packaging.  The final result – a masterpiece of art – which may be a back drop to the product or the centerpiece that drives the sale.

Kari Arienti, Founder, Aroma Knowledge and Vincent Kuczinski, Vice President Senior Perfumer, MANE Fragrance, as the perfumers; Pamela Vaile, Founder, Pam Vaile Associates as the evaluator; Jenine Guerriero, Director of Marketing, Givaudan as the marketer; and David O’Halloran, Vice President Fragrance and Cosmetic Technology, Arcade Beauty as the technician and Christopher Diienno, Chairman, American Society of Perfumers as the overall conference instructor.
