Introduction by the President

A year of connection, progress and global engagement

In his first full year as President of the International Fragrance Association, Alexander Mohr reflects on a period defined by learning, listening and strengthening global relationships. 


In 2025, IFRA deepened its engagement with fragrance companies, associations and stakeholders worldwide, delivering several key milestones. These included the launch of the 5nd Amendment to the IFRA Standards, publication of the third IFRA–IOFI Sustainability Report, and the introduction of a new IFRA website to improve clarity and access to information. Advocacy efforts continued across all regions, alongside organisational growth and the rollout of IFRA’s new strategy. 


A highlight of the year was the Global Fragrance Summit in Singapore, demonstrating the value of cross-cultural dialogue. Mohr closes by thanking the Chairman, Board and IFRA team, and looks ahead to advancing IFRA’s mission of safe and sustainable fragrance for all.

Introduction by the Chairman

Trust, science and responsibility in a changing world

Paul Andersson, Chairman of IFRA, reflects on a year shaped by rapid global change and heightened responsibility for the fragrance industry. With fragrance embedded in everyday life for billions of consumers, trust remains the industry’s most valuable asset. 


In 2025, IFRA actively engaged in intensified regulatory discussions, particularly in Europe, advocating for science-based, proportionate and globally consistent approaches. Safety and scientific integrity remained central, alongside continued defence of fragrance ingredients, expanded regulatory dialogue and progress on non-animal testing. 


Sustainability also featured strongly, with the third IFRA–IOFI Sustainability Report highlighting measurable progress. Andersson concludes by thanking the IFRA team for their expertise and dedication, which underpin the industry’s credibility worldwide.
