Founded in 1999, BNAEOPC brings together 125 companies in the industry, including manufacturers and traders of essential oils, manufacturers and distributors of perfumes, cosmetics, toiletries, and manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials, packaging and equipment.
The association becomes the tenth IFRA member from the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, and the first from central and Eastern Europe.
Following the IFRA Board’s acceptance of BNAEOPC’s application, IFRA Chair Hans Holger Gliewe said,
“We are delighted to welcome our Bulgarian colleagues to the IFRA family. Bulgaria is an important country for our industry, with the iconic Bulgarian rose one of the iconic natural raw materials used in fragrances. BNAEOPC's membership extends our representation to central and Eastern Europe and the expertise of the Association and its members will be an important asset as we contribute to debates on European Union legislative and regulatory proposals."
IFRA President Martina Bianchini added,
“We look forward to working with the BNAEOPC team and members as we highlight our industry’s commitment to safe and sustainable use of fragrance materials.”
Gergana Andreeva, BNAEOPC Executive Director, said,
“We are happy to join IFRA and to contribute to science-based advocacy in partnership with IFRA - including at EU level. BNAEOPC and its members bring deep expertise and experience of the fragrance market, and we look forward to working with IFRA for the benefit of fragrance manufacturers and blenders in Bulgaria and internationally."

About the International Fragrance Association (IFRA)
The International Fragrance Association, founded in 1973, represents the interests of the fragrance industry worldwide. IFRA comprises seven multinational Regular Members, 22 national associations in 24 countries spread over four global regions representing hundreds of small and medium-sized fragrance ingredient manufacturers, as well as supporting members. Its mission is to promote the safe and sustainable use of fragrance.
Fragrances are a key platform technology used by consumer goods companies – for fine fragrances, personal care and cosmetics products, household care and more.
IFRA’s flagship safe use program, the IFRA Standards, applies safety management measures based on scientific assessment and the evaluations of an independent Expert Panel. The program is at the heart of the IFRA Code of Practice, which applies to all IFRA members globally, including members of IFRA’s national associations. The Code also requires members to abide by local, national and international regulation, and to apply good manufacturing practices.
