For many consumers, fragrances represent more than just a pleasant scent. They are an accessory that complements the wearer’s unique style and elevates self-confidence. Special occasions become more memorable with the perfect fragrance. Indeed, according to Euromonitor’s Voice of the Consumer: Beauty Survey, fielded June to July 2023, over a quarter of consumers in 2023 purchase perfumes specifically to wear them for these significant moments.
Applying fragrance is a daily ritual for 44% of people worldwide, with the highest usage levels in Latin America and Middle East and Africa in 2023. In contrast, the largest pockets of “never use” fragrance consumers are in North America and Asia Pacific.
