The Russian government took measures to prevent a perfume crisis by approving amendments to the law “On state regulation of the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products.” According to the Minister of Economic Development German Gref, many companies producing perfume products have suffered significant losses due to the imperfections of the adopted law, which ultimately affects consumers. As it turns out, since the beginning of October, wholesale trade in alcohol-containing perfumery products and household chemicals has been practically paralyzed.
