The dividing line between dupes and counterfeits is thin. While the former (legally) mimics the real thing, the latter (illegally) passes itself off as the real thing. Whether the consumer appreciates the difference is often unclear, but many Gen Z consumers are enthusiastic about dupes, not least for their affordability — a trend observed by the luxury sector through gritted teeth, fragrances have become the market's next target.

Why are high-quality, unique perfumes becoming so expensive, some may ask? But what’s more important to consider is why so many people end up wearing the same perfumes. Even niche fragrances are at risk of becoming mainstream. Take the amazing Baccarat Rouge phenomenon by Francis Kurkdjian (RRP £220 for 35ml). Over time, these exquisite, high-priced fragrances become commonplace and highly recognisable, diminishing their niche appeal as more people wear them. Instead, the new standard of luxury is about offering a completely unique olfactory experience to every customer – as true luxury isn’t about the price tag but about crafting a unique, personal olfactory identity that is theirs alone. https://lnkd.in/dTN4zFJA #Fragrance #LuxuryPerfumery #NichePerfume

"Fougère Fragrances in Perfumery" Fougère fragrances, characterized by notes like lavender, coumarin, and oakmoss, have played a significant role in the perfume industry. From historical origins to modern interpretations, let’s explore the allure of fougères and their timeless appeal. 1. "What Are Fougère Fragrances?" - Fougère fragrances are characterized by specific notes, including: - "Lavender": Lavender is a key note in fougères. - "Coumarin": A synthetic substance that imparts a "fern-like" quality to the scent. - "Salicylates": These add freshness and green nuances. - labdanum": Provides a smoky-woody aspect to the fragrance. 2. "History of Fougère Fragrances:" - The first fougère fragrance, "Fougère Royal", was created in 1882 and included synthetic coumarin. - Fougères later gained popularity among both men and women. For example: - "Jicky" by Guerlain, released in 1889, became one of the first oriental fougères and gained worldwide acclaim. 3.

What opportunities, challenges, and innovations does Pantone's announcement of #ColouroftheYear bring to the fragrance industry?🍑 🌸 In a landscape of fast-paced consumer trends, many brands are harnessing the power of colour and its emotional impact on fragrance, with Pantone's #PeachFuzz proving to be a big success in 2024's fragrance world. "Colours relate to emotions and can inspire the use of specific ingredients in fragrances. Fragrances inspired by Peach Fuzz often feature fruity, creamy notes, and floral or powdery accents like osmanthus and musk to convey the colour’s happiness and care," explains Siomara López San José, Scent Activator at Scentmate by dsm-firmenich. dsm-firmenich Perfumery & Ingredients embraced this #trend with the early 2024 launch of 'Peach Fuzz EDP' by Perfumers Siliang (Steve) GUO & Alexandra Monet. Guo highlights the synergy between colour and #scent: "While sight is often considered more empirical and objective than smell, I believe that colour and perfume have a perfectly complementary relationship. Colour can serve as a clearer #language to describe fragrances, making information easier to convey, while scent can leave us with a larger space for personal interpretation and #emotional #experience." Monet adds, "Every perfumer has a different way of visualising fragrances during the creative process, but the relationship between colour and fragrance is undeniably powerful. Colours, just like fragrances, are closely connected to emotions. By blending the two, we can create wonderful, #feel-good fragrances." From independent brands, Sarah Baker Perfumes' 'Peach’s Revenge' has been a trendsetting launch, captivating consumers and the fragrance community since its debut at Esxence. Baker shares, "We are thrilled by the success of Peach’s Revenge by perfumer Chris Maurice. The fragrance has a special charm; it’s a happy fragrance, featuring fruity notes complemented by a creamy texture, spices, and a deeper base of woods. We are working at speed to meet the #highdemand from our #retailers and #customers. It’s a lovely position to be in, and we are truly grateful that Peach’s Revenge has found a place in people’s hearts!" How do you see the influence of Pantone's Colour of the Year impacting the fragrance industry?

In the world of perfumery, an "accord" is a fundamental concept that plays a pivotal role in creating and understanding fragrances. An accord is a harmonious blend of two or more individual fragrance notes that, when combined, create a distinct and recognizable scent profile. Accords are the building blocks of perfumes, forming the structural foundation upon which a fragrance composition is developed.🍊🌸 #passingshowperfume #perfume #fragrance #perfumeindubai #perfumecollection #perfumes #perfumelovers #scent #beauty #perfumeaddict #fragrances #perfumeinuae #makeup #scentoftheday #perfumelover #eaudeparfum #fashion #fragrancelover #parfume #perfumeoriginal #perfumeshop #minyakwangi #fragrancecollection #perfumery #luxury #parfumoriginal #perfumes #skincare #perfumetips
