The PCA Companies

And that’s a wrap! After four days, over 200 meetings and countless espressos, the sun has set on an incredible experience exhibiting at TFWA (Tax Free World Association) in Cannes last week. Employees from around the globe came together to represent our portfolio of beauty brands and the bespoke solutions that we can provide to support the travel retail and international duty-free industry.  “We pride ourselves on offering comprehensive solutions tailored to the needs of retailers and brands” said Piyush Golia, CEO, The PCA Companies. “It was an honor to host so many guests at our booth, learn from each other and partner for future success” Thank you to all who visited us, those who kindly hosted us (we will miss having meetings on a yacht), the brands that were part of our booth, and to the TFWA team for another amazing event. We’re already looking forward to next year! #TFWAWEC 

Countdown to Cannes! Excited to share that we will be exhibiting at TFWA (Tax Free World Association) in Cannes next week! It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore innovative trends and showcase our latest offerings. “This is the biggest exhibition for beauty and personal care” said Piyush Golia, CEO, The PCA Companies. “It’s the highlight of our year to be part of the conference and have the chance to connect with a world-wide network of brands and retailers to partner on capabilities. It’s also a rare opportunity for our global team to be together in person, collaborate and share learnings”. If you’re attending, we’d love to meet (find us in Bay Terrace, T4) and discuss how we can collaborate for mutual success. See you there! #TFWAWEC

We are thrilled to partner with NISHANE Luxury Fragrances for their US distribution. Brand Director Jelena Ostojic and Educator Alexandre Helwani were recently in NYC and it was a pleasure to welcome them to our Fifth Avenue office for a fun and engaging day of interactive brand immersion. The team learned about the entire fragrance portfolio, the notes that make up each unique scent profile, and the perfume story behind each collection. Thank you NISHANE team, we loved seeing you!

It was an honor to have Paolo Terenzi co-founder and ‘nose’ behind Tiziana Terenzi artistic fragrances in New York City for a week of brand activity. Kicking off with retailer trainings for Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and the PCA Companies field team, Paolo presented a comprehensive education program for new products launching in the USA in Q4 (watch this space!). The next day, Paolo hosted an intimate PR and Influencer breakfast at 1 Hotels, Central Park for NYC editors and creators. They were introduced to the heart of the brand story and learned about the inspiration behind each of the hero collections. “Paolo is incredible, and the story behind the brand is beautiful” said one guest, while another noted “The fragrances are unlike anything else, truly stunning”. At the end of the event, guests received a personal invitation from Paolo to visit him in Italy – Grazie, Paolo!

Rebecca Minkoff Fragrances take The Hamptons! We were delighted to be part of Rebecca’s sunset soiree in The Hamptons last night. Taking place at the iconic Sunset Harbor, our scent station showcased her two fragrances to founders, influencers and thought leaders. Soly Abdelhamid and Nina Davies from our team were on hand to guide guests through the notes behind each fragrance as they experienced a scent journey and discovered their perfect match. A base of tobacco, layered with coriander and jasmine is behind Rebecca’s signature original scent, with florals, citrus and tonka bean underpinning her Blush perfume. After their sensorial journey, guests enjoyed a spectacular sunset dinner. It was a night to remember!
