Everspray™ Wins Prestigious SATA Award for Advancement in Formulation

From Miami to Hilton Head, a breakthrough aerosol technology disrupts a $50B+ market with alcohol-free, sustainable innovation

Hilton Head, South Carolina, Everspray™, the breakthrough spray technology invented by Marcelo Zelicovich, CEO of Miami-based Doctor Aromas, has been awarded the SATA Advancement in Formulation Award 2025, the highest honor granted by the Southern Aerosol Technical Association (SATA).

In recent years, this award has been given to global leaders such as Procter & Gamble (2023) and Lysol-Reckitt (2024), underscoring its reputation as the aerosol industry’s most prestigious recognition.


From Launch to Global Recognition

Launched in 2024, Everspray™ was introduced as a new standard in aerosol innovation:

Producing over 10 times more scent-carrying nanoparticles than leading competitors.

Delivering longer-lasting fragrance through particles that remain suspended without residue.

Designed as a non-flammable, alcohol-free, eco-friendly system, compliant with California’s stringent VOC regulations.

Backed by peer-reviewed research and strong early interest from global industry leaders, the technology quickly attracted attention for its licensing potential.

Now, with the SATA Award in hand, Everspray™ has moved from a disruptive newcomer to an internationally validated game-changer, ready to transform not just home fragrance but also fine fragrance, cosmetics, haircare, and even medical applications.


CEO Statement

“This award proves that innovation doesn’t only come from billion-dollar corporations. It can also come from a family-run company in Miami.  We set out to eliminate harmful propellants and alcohol in fine fragrance, and instead built a technology capable of disrupting a $50B+ global market opportunity across aerosols and fine fragrance. Being recognized by SATA validates our vision to drive the future of aerosols with science, health, and sustainability.”

Marcelo Zelicovich, CEO of Doctor Aromas and inventor of Everspray™

During the ceremony, SATA leadership praised Everspray™ as “an amazing product and a game-changer for our industry.”
