Almost 4 years ago I started working with a team of passionate experts on a portal project dedicated to Artistic Perfumery. After many meetings, exchanges of ideas, evaluations on the complexity of the project and the resources that needed to be put in place, we came to the conclusion that it was time to take an extra step: add to our web listening and survey activities to monitor the sector in support of the educational and analytical activities that we managed for Esxence (and which in 2018 gave birth to the "whispers about artistic perfumery" survey), the website www.essencional.com which was born a year ago when the pandemic exploded.
