      <description>by Samir Besso Calvo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the PESTLE analysis for my company &quot;The Scent Vault&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Political: The UK offers a stable political environment for e-commerce. After BREXIT, the Office for Product Safety and Standards operate independently from the UE. Government trade agreements support the cosmetic exports which would allow easy import from niche perfumes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Economic: The UK fragrance market is growing according to the latest reports, and online sales are the fastest growing segment. Even though consumers are experiencing an increase on cost of living the solution we propose help to buyers be able to enjoy premium niche fragrances at a fraction of the cost of the full bottle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Social: Every time is more popular between the younger generations the use of more niche and unique fragrances. With a large amount of trends coming up on social media, such as TikTok and Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technological: E-commerce platforms, mobile apps and social media improve the customer experience with reviews, information and accessibility to make purchases instantly and delivered within days to their address.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legal: The business must be comply with UK cosmetic regulations and safety frameworks. We must consider than in 2026 they fragrance allergen labelling will expand from 26 to over 80 mandatory declared substances. Most of them natural oils used in niche perfumery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Environmental: Sustainability and carbon print are a priority now a days and many consumers give priority or value sustainable packaging. We must ensure that not only the packaging but also the vials and the containers where we will distribute have the be eco-friendly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;1. Political Factors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Government rules about import, taxes, and trade can affect the business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. Economic Factors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UK has a high cost of living, and many students have limited money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Opportunity: Students want affordable clothing, which is good for Student Fit Wear.&lt;br /&gt;Risk: If the economy becomes worse, students may spend less on clothes.&lt;br /&gt;Effect on business: Sales may increase if prices stay affordable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Social Factors&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opportunity: The brand can use Instagram, TikTok, and influencers to promote clothes.&lt;br /&gt;Risk: Fashion trends change quickly.&lt;br /&gt;Effect on business: The business must update styles regularly to stay popular.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;6. Environmental Factors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many people care about sustainability and the environment.&lt;/p&gt;
