A campaign has begun to boycott the 40th IRFA ammendment. Cropwatch, the organization bringing this petition to the public, has put forth the following statement on their web site: www.cropwatch.org .
"Cropwatch believes in the right for EU fragrance consumers to choose natural perfumes composed entirely of natural ingredients, is a basic human right, and this principle should be tested in law.
The current demand for 100% natural perfumes - and now even a demand for 100% organic perfumes - is high in the EU marketplace. However perfumery companies cannot legally place many traditional natural perfume types on the marketplace (e.g. citrus colognes, fougeres etc.) because of existing regulations and red tape which work against formulation with natural ingredients.
Fragrance consumers don’t want 100% synthetic perfumes ... they want perfumes composed either of both natural & synthetic ingredients, or of 100% natural ingredients, and Cropwatch can’t see why EU fragrance consumers shouldn’t have them. "
