Perfume: The sweet smell of business success

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We take a look inside the perfume industry and ask how you identify the must-have scents. And as a new generation of consumers are moving away from the classic scents and brands, how is the industry adapting? Michael Edwards of the Fragrances of the World database, Sarah Rotheram CEO of the perfumers Miller Harris and Margaux Caron of Mintel guide us through the changing trends. Also on the programme; could Boeing be about to halt production of its beleaguered 737 Max aircraft? Our reporter Theo Leggett brings us the latest, and Stephanie Hare talks about how to stop yourself from suffering burnout at work. (Picture credit:Bottles of Oud/ BBC).
