🌟 About this video
A few weeks ago, a BBC news article on fragrance made me stop in my tracks. I was disgusted when I read that two major fragrance houses had been found to be using jasmine sourced using child labour. I waited, to see who might talk about this from the perfume community on YouTube.... The answer... No one. It's not ever going to be a video for big views is it? And that's why there's been silence.

I know that the use of child labor in perfume manufacturing isn't a lovely fluffy easy topic for a fragrance video, but it's an important one, because unless we care, this will continue to happen. Looking into this has made me realise that this is sadly likely to be the tip of the iceberg. All those ingredients, from all those places, and that's just fragrances, what about everything else that we buy?

What do you think about this? Do you own one of the fragrances named? Should perfume conglomerates be better auditing their supply chains?

The news article summarised and discussed in this video is here:
