The Barcelona Perfumery Congress returns almost two years later. La Farga will host a new edition of the Perfumery Congress organized by the Beauty Cluster, which this time quadruples its exhibition area. More than 100 exhibitors will be present at the fairgrounds of l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, and the organization confirms that the number of registered attendees far exceeds that of the last edition held in November 2023. Countries such as India, France, Italy, UK, USA, China, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt will be present through the best companies in the perfumery value chain.
In addition to the exhibition area, the BPC will feature more than 70 presentations by leading international experts in the fragrance and perfumery sector. These include presentations related to the impact of artificial intelligence on the creation process, as well as its manufacturing. Of course, packaging and sustainability account for a significant percentage of the program, as do market data and trends. As a main novelty this year, author and niche perfumery will also have a place in an exclusive and innovative space: The Fragrance Atelier. Also, in its sixth edition, the Ernesto Ventós Foundation will hold an exhibition recognizing the career of the emblematic perfumer who passed away in 2020.
Eva Lluch, the president of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress, in a previous interview with Next in Beauty, highlighted that the Barcelona Perfumery Congress would become the most relevant innovation event in perfumery and fragrances of the moment. "The sixth edition of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress is expected to consolidate itself as the most significant innovation event in perfumery in Europe. In just two years, it has tripled the number of international exhibitors, from 30 in 2023 to 100 in 2025. This growth is due to the support of important industry leaders and the growing demand for spaces for innovation and networking in the sector."
The president of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress also values that "Spain is the second largest exporter of perfumes in the world, and Barcelona, as one of the main cities in the country, plays a crucial role in this prominent position. The city offers an inspiring environment with a good climate, ideal for attracting professionals from all over the world and fostering creativity and innovation in the sector, which makes it a strategic place for this congress."
