The BBC have reported that the jasmine used by L'Oreal for Lancôme Idôle L'Intense - and Ikat Jasmine and Limone Di Sicilia for Aerin Beauty is collected by children as the price of jasmine has been pushed so low that parents need their children to work overnight to harvest the flowers.

AIBU to think we should boycott L'Oreal / Lancôme / Aerin for use of child labour?

I rarely buy myself perfumes so normally saying I agree with a boycott would be a bit of an empty gesture.
However, having just been gifted some money this past week, I've been researching the price of a Lancome perfume I particularly like, to treat myself. I haven't actually ordered it yet and now I can't order it with a clear conscience.
It's now even making me wary of buying my second choice - a brand not mentioned here- incase there are further revelations to come.
