writing as we speak. In the mean time, note that these clauses are not the Code’s clauses, and the interpretations are at times not correct.

Thank you, Christophe. I’ve updated the article to directly quote the Perfumery Code of Ethics rather than paraphrasing, to ensure accuracy and avoid misinterpretation. I’ve also clarified the concerns more directly in that context.

great, thank you for this, and some fair questions. I’m still writing.

Thank you so much for highlighting the cognitive dissonance in Laudamiel's involvment in Osmo given his Perfumery Code of Ethics. I immediately found that to be baffling, and now feel disconcerted having added my signature to it a couple of years ago.

I, of course, share in your discomfort. However, I truly believe that the Code of Ethics could be a positive in this industry. The problem here is not in the code itself; It is that dissonance especially when it is not applied at scale.

Christophe, I agree, this is important. I hope you do "communicate soon" even if it isn't soon enough

Hi JJ! you don’t wonder at all what there might be perhaps to look into? that’s a fast switch on an important subject ! I’m here, and communicating soon ;-)
