The PERFUMERY CODE OF ETHICS is a public initiative created by Christophe Laudamiel and promoted by all pledgers.
It touches specific and crucial points in the Perfume Industry and Community, related to the very jobs of perfume creating, sourcing of raw materials, branding and communicating.
The Code of Ethics initiative is currently based on an honor system.
There is no commitment beside what is duly expressed in its content. Edits, additions to and enforcement of the Code are on a case by case basis after discussion among the current pledgers.
The on-going vision for the Code is to ultimately be adopted and hosted by larger academic or professional institutions.
