COSMETIC VALLEY is the world’s leading network in the fragrance and cosmetics industry and the European leader in the sector. As the coordinator of the French industry cluster, the association brings together the entire value chain—from plant cultivation to finished products— and supports innovation, competitiveness, and the industry’s transition toward sustainability. As the voice of a flagship industry that encompasses more than 6,300 companies, 226,000 jobs, and 71 billion euros in revenue, COSMETIC VALLEY helps promote French excellence on the global stage. France thus remains the world’s leading exporter of perfumes and cosmetics, with €22.4 billion in exports projected for 2025. Committed to promoting the appeal and influence of French cosmetics, COSMETIC VALLEY is behind the Maison de la Cosmétique, a future landmark venue set to open its doors in Chartres in 2028. A true showcase for an industry of excellence, this unifying project will bring together professionals, researchers, students, and the general public to celebrate the expertise, scientific advancements, and values that have earned the French model its global reputation. At the intersection of heritage, culture, innovation, and knowledge transfer, it will embody the ambition of a leading industry, proud of its heritage and resolutely focused on the future.
