Moderated by Mr. Matt Chung, Curator and Cultural Commentator, the discussion explored different perspectives on fragrance’s role in daily life and offered practical self-care advice. The report also provides practical guidance for local retailers and fragrance brand owners on integrating scent and technology into retail spaces to enhance the customer experience, reflecting Eternal Group’s commitment to building and leading the fragrance industry ecosystem. Community initiatives under the “Scent of Happiness” campaign include three community events co-organised with Smile With Us HK for children, families and older adults; sponsorship of 80 sessions of iACT mental health support provided by Mind HK; and three relaxation and sensory sessions featuring neuroVIZR’s synchronised light-and- sound experience. Through these initiatives, the Group supports emotional well-being in the community, demonstrating its commitment to corporate social responsibility. Ms. Wendy Lau, Executive Director of Eternal Beauty Holdings Limited, said in her opening remarks: “Fragrance is more than a sensory experience—it expresses how we choose to live. Three years of White Paper research have shown that fragrance has become part of Hong Kong consumers’ daily routines. As a leader in the fragrance industry, we combine consumer insights, innovative technology and community partnerships through our ‘Scent of Happiness’ campaign, translating our commitment to self-care and emotional well-being into concrete action and creating long-term value for the industry and society.” **Positive Mood Scores Highest, While Rest and Vitality Are Relatively Lower The survey explored respondents’ positive feelings and experiences over the preceding two weeks using five indicators, each scored out of 100. “Cheerful and in good spirits” scored highest at 58.4, followed by “Calm and relaxed” at 55.9 and “Everyday life is interesting or fulfilling” at 55.2.
