Emirates Perfumes Forum Promotes Collaboration Between Local And Global Fragrance Manufacturers

The Emirates Perfumes Forum, held at Expo Centre Sharjah, showcased the latest innovations in the perfume industry. This event was part of the second edition of the Emirates Perfumes and Oud Exhibition, organised by the Centre with support from the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). The exhibition runs from October 4th to October 13th, 2024.

Prominent figures such as Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of SCCI and Expo Centre Sharjah, and Waleed Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, Second Vice Chairman of Sharjah Chamber, attended. The forum also welcomed Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO of Expo Centre, along with executives from leading perfume companies and brands. Fragrance enthusiasts and industry professionals were present too.

The forum emphasised enhancing collaboration between local and international perfume manufacturers. Specialised events were recommended as crucial platforms for industry players to facilitate deals, form strategic partnerships, and share expertise. This initiative aims to strengthen ties within the global fragrance community.

Two panel discussions featured renowned experts like Toufik Jabban, Marc Daniel Heimgartner, and Nathalie Feisthauer. These sessions explored topics such as future trends in the fragrance industry and advanced techniques for processing perfumes. They also highlighted innovation in aromatic blends and crafting unique signatures by merging smoke, oils, and sprays.

Abdallah Sultan Al Owais remarked that the forum plays a pivotal role in promoting the fragrance sector by uniting global experts under one roof. "The forum served as a model platform for fostering growth and innovation within the perfume sector," he stated. This gathering allows professionals to exchange knowledge, advancing an industry rich in economic promise and cultural heritage.

The event added significant value to the "Emirates Perfume and Oud Exhibition," reinforcing its path toward greater success. Plans are underway to host this exhibition twice a year to expand commercial opportunities for exhibitors while meeting consumer demand.

Exploring New Trends

The exhibition offers attendees a chance to discover new trends introduced by top-tier local, regional, and international brands. It showcases exquisite oriental Arabian perfumes alongside premium types of Oud. This initiative not only meets growing consumer expectations but also enriches the cultural tapestry of UAE's heritage.

This comprehensive approach ensures that both traditional elements and modern innovations are celebrated within the perfume industry. By doing so, it strengthens its position as a cultural icon deeply rooted in UAE's authentic traditions.
