French flavour and fragrance manufacturer Mane laid the foundation stone in late September for a new Fragrance Design Centre in Bar-sur-Loup, in the Grasse region of southern France. The facility will span an 8,900 m² site and is dedicated to the creation, evaluation and development of fragrances for Mane's Consumer Goods activities. The EUR 45 million investment deepens the company's presence in the historic Grasse fragrance cluster and signals continued capacity expansion in fine fragrance creation, a category that has driven growth for major ingredient houses.

Why it matters：The investment reinforces Grasse's role as a global fragrance creation hub and reflects sustained demand growth in fine fragrance that is reshaping ingredient-house competition.
