* Feedback Loops: Provide precise, constructive olfactive feedback to fragrance house perfumers to refine submissions until they meet brand quality standards.
* Performance & Stability Testing: Oversee stability, oxidation, and skin-wear testing in coordination with Quality Assurance and R&D; teams.
2. Portfolio Gap Analysis & Olfactory Mapping
* Portfolio Auditing: Map out our existing scent catalog across olfactory families (e.g., Woody, Floral, Gourmand, Fresh, Amber) to identify over-saturated areas and missing scent profiles.
* White Space Identification: Analyze global and regional fragrance trends to pinpoint untapped "white spaces" and propose current perfume concepts that align with consumer demand.
* Competitor Benchmarking: Continuously evaluate competitor launches, bestsellers, and niche offerings to ensure our portfolio maintains a competitive edge.
