Susie tells the journalist Melissa Pearl that the next perfumes released by Delavigne will confirm Bruno's ability to make great fragrances.
confirm Bruno's ability to make great fragrances: Susie says: "I can promise you that our next fragrances will settle any doubts as to Delavigne's genius as a perfumer".

Here, Susie is trying to convince Melissa Pearl that Bruno is great perfumer despite the controversy surrounding his anosmia.
help Bruno pay back the money owed to Delavigne's investors: "To settle doubts" should not be confused with "to settle debts". Susie is speaking about Delavigne's reputation, not his financial concerns.
prove that Delavigne's other perfumers are extremely talented: Susie is speaking of Delavigne himself as a talented perfumer, not the other perfumers employed by the company. The subject of this sentence is Bruno himself, and not the "Delavigne" company.
