 The panel featured speakers from diverse fields, including Ms. Laurinda Ho, Founder
of Smile With Us HK; Mr. William Lam, Clinical Advisor to the Mind HK Tai Po Mental
Health Support Programme; and Mr. Chris Chu, CRM & Partnership Manager at Eternal
Group. 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

scored highest at 58.4, followed by “Calm and relaxed” at 55.9 and “Everyday life
is interesting or fulfilling” at 55.2. Scores for “Active and energetic” and “Refreshed
and well rested” were relatively lower, at 52.7 and 50.4 respectively.

 The eight-point gap between “Cheerful and in good spirits” and “Refreshed and well
rested” was the largest among the five indicators, suggesting stronger positive 
emotional experiences relative to rest and energy levels.

a week or more, while 46.5% used it almost every day. Frequent users recorded a
