Cosmo International Fragrances recently won the award for Best Natural Ingredient for Fragrance at the 2023 Barcelona Perfumery Congress for their exclusive Myrtle Inca Essence.
Originating from the beautiful landscape of the Cusco Region of Peru, this extraordinary ingredient was created through an exclusive and sustainable partnership with local Quechua women and is being used today for the first time in perfumery.
The development of Myrtle Inca Essence involved a collaborative effort between Cosmo’s Natural Ingredients teams in Peru and France and the Quechua Women’s Association. Over several years, this dedicated team worked diligently to cultivate an ingredient that not only stands out for its olfactive profile but also reflects the company’s dedication to sustainability and ethical practices.
Anne-Laure André, our Natural Ingredients Project Manager, said: “We are very proud to have received the award for Best Natural Ingredient for Fragrance at the 2023 Barcelona Perfumery Congress as Myrtle Inca Essence truly embodies Cosmo’s philosophy of People, Parfum, Purpose.”
