Resilient Scent Economy Takes Root in Oregon – Press Release

Gold Beach, OR — February 11, 2026: Oregon Olfactory Arts plans OOA Stations — hyper-local scent outposts engineered to thrive amid 2025’s tariff chaos, channeling tourist dollars straight to Oregon perfumers, lavender farms, and essential oil makers.

The Tariff Trigger

US tariffs crushed imported fragrance inputs: French exports down 25%, Asian essential oils up 30%. Global supply chains fractured. OOA’s response? Zero imports, 100% Oregon.

Economic Rocket Fuel

Modeled on Oregon’s $714M wine agritourism engine, Stations convert tourist curiosity into local contracts. Pilot projects $2M+ annual spend multiplier — venue fees fund maker stipends, farm partnerships.

“We’re not just scent art. We’re economic stimulus.” — OOA Founder
