What US Businesses Should Look For

• IFRA/RIFM compliance documentation: Request this — do not accept a claim without documentation
• Fragrance source: A named fine fragrance house is a meaningful quality differentiator
• Hardware included in subscription: Ask whether hardware is loaned or a separate purchase
• Published pricing: Any provider unwilling to publish starting prices is typically protecting high minimums
• Proven commercial credentials: Ask for specific client references in your sector
