The Geneva Forex Event is a series of monthly meetings that brings together financiers and other key players in Geneva's financial sector. The events offer the perfect opportunity to combine glamour, luxury and business in an informal and yet convivial setting. The concept is to facilitate regular get-togethers that allow participants to keep up with and/or stay ahead of business trends, and establish privileged professional relationships in a relaxed atmosphere. 

Asia Plantation Capital (APC) was delighted to be able to support the perfume brand at its Geneva launch, and help promote its sustainable plantations that produce such a wide and fascinating variety of end products. The launch event was held on Thursday, the 4th of February, and was attended by Mr Gary Crates – CEO Europe, the APC Group SA.

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to make new contacts, and at the same time support our partner company," said Crates. "Fragrance Du Bois will be making its European debut with a launch at the Jovoy boutique in Paris later this month, and this will be followed up by other openings in Europe in the near future. The entire range of Fragrance Du Bois perfumes contains the 100% pure and sustainable Oud oil that we produce," he concluded, "so we are very pleased to be a part of such an auspicious event."

100% pure Oud, 100% pure luxury

Fragrance Du Bois creates fragrances from 100% pure and natural Oud oil, produced from Asia Plantation Capital's sustainable plantations around the world. The entire process, 'from soil to oil' is strictly controlled by APC, guaranteeing not only exceptional quality, but also the known provenance for a highly valuable product. Established in 2011, and inspired by the artistry of traditional French perfumeries, Fragrance Du Bois now offers a range of sophisticated fragrances comprised of seven 'shades' and three private collections. 

Each of the ten expressions will be presented at consecutive Geneva Forex Events, and two gift boxes with a 100ml bottle of fragrance in each (valued at more than EUR1,300) will be awarded as prizes for the 'Eurodollar Price Prediction' contest. On this particular evening, red set the tone, with Patrick Castagna -- Channel Manager for APC Group SA, Geneva -- presenting the winner with the delectable 'Oud Rouge Intense'.
