The third annual Febreze Scent of the Year has been announced at Romance & Desire for 2024. Through research and forecasts, P&G’s Innovation Foresight of Fragrance and Ingredients found a collective focus on connection and romance, which led to the development of a scent that's conducive to creating togetherness, bonding and closeness.
The passionate scent to spark an intimate mood in any room is marked by notes of pink rose petals and champagne spritz, and the 2024 Scent of the Year is ready to be experienced in several products from Febreze, like Air Mist, Wax Melts and scented plug-ins.
In 2023, Febreze named Mountain as the Scent of the Year and in 2022, Ember claimed the coveted title.
