THE WHAT? Our Own Candle Company has filed a class action lawsuit against four major fragrance manufacturers, according to a report published by Top Class Actions, accusing the ingredients suppliers of violating anti-trust laws.
THE DETAILS The New York-based candle brand alleges that Givaudan, Symrise, Firmenich and IFF conspired to raise and fix prices of fragrance products.
