I have a very personal reason for despising them. EU regulations have utterly destroyed the centuries-old art of perfumery, and fine/vintage perfume is something very close to my heart. They can keep their cuisine, their high fashion, etc-they destroyed classic perfumery, and for that the EU is my sworn enemy.
Worse, their regulations affect the global perfumery business, as you can’t even sell perfume in EU countries (one of the largest consumers) if you don’t abide by the EU regulations in the making of perfume you may want or need to sell there.
For this, I hate the EU with a vengeance.
So can’t there be USA versions of perfumes?
