Wrapping up an incredible week at the 2026 National Candle Association Tradeshow in Houston, Texas! Our Givaudan fragrance experts John Trombley, Laura Epstein, Jessica Kay, Chris Jones, Monika Kurzecka, Chris Moss, Gary Friars, Tiffany Dusché, Jayne Oleksiak, Abigail Hunter, Serap Gulludag and Keri Moliterno had the chance to present our latest West Texas Scentspedition where we utilized our headspace technology Scent Trek™ to capture these unexplored scents found in nature within our candle creations. Givaudan also led an aircare workshop called Retail Realities where attendees were able to smell the olfactive differences in what consumers are wanting based on what stores they purchase candles from. As head of Local and Regional sales Aaron Gordon notes "Attending the annual National Candle Association tradeshow was a beautiful reminder of the boundless creativity and innovation within this industry.  Meeting like-minded individuals and businesses, and sharing new ideas around fragrance design, cutting-edge technology, and game-changing consumer insights is not just inspiring, it's a chance to shape the future of candles, together." Looking forward to seeing you all again at NCA next year! #NationalCandleAssociation #NCA #NCA2026 #Tradeshow #Candle #CandleIndustry #Fragrance #Perfumer #Humanbynature
