Scentis has the honor of being now a member of COSMETIC VALLEY, the benchmark French competitiveness cluster for the perfume and cosmetics industry.

As the world's leading resource center for perfumery and cosmetics in terms of know-how, research and innovation, COSMETIC VALLEY contributes to the development of these sectors.

This organization contributes to the influence of luxury "Made in France" and encourages the establishment of cosmetics and perfume companies on French territory.
