Clearing up a Misunderstanding about Les Nez

In my article about Isabelle Doyen’s Turtle Vétiver for Les Nez, I used a turn of phrase that may have led readers to think that all the Les Nez fragrances were “outlaw”, i.e., that they didn’t comply with the EU cosmetics directive.

René Schifferlé has just written me to rectify. Turtle Vétiver does not have a certificate because only one kilo of concentrate was made, and is therefore “outlaw”, which in no case means it presents any health hazards.

All other fragrances, L’Antimatière, Let Me Play with the Lion, The Unicorn Spell and Manoumalia, comply with the EU Cosmetics Directive and the manufacturer, Robertet, has carried out the relevant analyses and issued a conformity certificate.

My apologies to René Schifferlé, Sandrine Videault and Isabelle Doyen for any misunderstanding.

This is René’s letter:

  1. Well, I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles... You want to export, you comply. However, note that the compliance is stated to be to the European Directive (currently the 26 allergens listed) and not to IFRA Amendment 43.
