2018 Capitol Hill
Perfumery Event
WHAT DOES LOVE SMELL LIKE?
On July 17, 2018, Fragrance Creators
brought together legislators, staff, and the
media for an interactive sensory experience
with its annual Capitol Hill Perfumery
Event. Renowned perfumers from fragrance
companies—Arylessence, Bell Flavor &
Fragrance, P&G, Robertet, and Takasago—
created custom fragrances for the event,
each centered around the theme of “Love,”
emphasizing the role scent plays in our
relationships, memories, and lives.
In addition to many Congressional
staffers, Reps. Sanford Bishop (GA-2),
Karen Handel (GA-6), Barry Loudermilk
(GA-11), and Carolyn Maloney (NY-12)
were in attendance. Both Bishop and
Maloney gave prepared remarks on the
importance of the fragrance industry to
creating jobs, stimulating innovation, and
enhancing quality of life. The event came
on the heels of the launch of the first-ever
Congressional Fragrance Caucus, which is
chaired by Loudermilk and Rep. Bonnie
Watson Coleman (NJ-12), earlier this year.
