 and fragrance related products. However, if we are not able to develop additional successful marketing, promotional and sales programs, then such failure will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
We are subject to extreme competition in the fragrance industry. 
 
The market for fragrance products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing market preferences and demands. Competitive factors include pricing, marketing, advertising and promotional activities, expansion of e-commerce activities, advances in technology such as AI, and most importantly, consumer brand recognition. Many of our competitors in this market are larger than we are and have greater financial resources than are available to us, potentially allowing them greater operational flexibility. Our success in the prestige fragrance industry is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate original strategies and develop quality products that are in accord with ongoing changes in the market. If there is insufficient demand for our existing fragrance products, or if we do not develop future strategies and products that withstand competition, or if we are unsuccessful in competing on price terms, then we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
Changes in laws, regulations and policies that affect our business could adversely affect our financial results. 
 
Our business is subject to numerous laws, regulations and policies. Changes in the laws, regulations and policies, including the interpretation or enforcement thereof, that affect, or will affect, our business, including changes in accounting standards, tax laws and regulations, environmental or climate change laws, regulations or accords, trade rules and customs regulations, or increased cosmetics regulation, and the outcome and expense of legal or regulatory proceedings, and any action we may take as a result could adversely affect our financial results.
