California Air Resources Board

LVMH Fragrance Brands US, LLC – Givenchy Corporation Settles For $3,000

In June 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with LVMH Fragrance Brands US, LLC – Givenchy Corporation (Givenchy) with its principal location in New York, New York, for the company’s violation of the Regulation for Reducing Emissions From Consumer Products (Consumer Products Regulation), as codified in the California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 94807 et seq.

CARB staff conducted an investigation that revealed Givenchy sold, supplied, offered for sale or manufactured for use in California, personal fragrance products with modified codes, without providing an explanation of the codes to CARB before offering the products for sale in California (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, § 94512(c)(2)).

Givenchy fully cooperated with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, Givenchy submitted an explanation of the code to CARB and will continue to submit the explanation of the modified code to CARB before the product is offered for sale in California. The penalty of $3,000 for failing to meet administrative requirements will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality.
