Like colour cosmetics, fragrances was hit hard by the sudden and dramatic reduction in social activity in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 related restrictions and concerns about exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. With restrictions being eased and consumers becoming more confident about engaging in in-person social interaction, fragrances, like colour cosmetics, saw a significant upturn in its performance in 2021.
In 2021, fragrance sets/kits returned to growth following the decline seen in the previous year due to COVID-19 lockdowns and the low levels of in-person socialising within the population. During 2021, the category benefited from an improved product and brand offering.
Having overtaken Avon Kozmetiks dooel to become the leading player in the previous year, Puig SL remained the largest player in fragrances in 2021. The company’s brand portfolio comprises premium brands, Paco Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier and Carolina Herrera 212, and mass fragrances brand, Antonio Banderas.
Fragrances is set to see a stronger rate of growth over the forecast period than that registered over the review period. Growth will come at the expense of the shrinking deodorants category, which is not expected to return to pre-COVID-19 levels at constant 2021 prices by the end of the forecast period as many consumers gradually shift towards fragrances.
Thanks to expanded brand availability, mass fragrance sets/kits is set to be the fastest growing category within fragrances over the forecast period. Consumers increasingly prefer these product offerings, which often offer bonus features and products that are particularly popular amongst the highest paying consumers - younger consumers (Millennials and Gen Z), as well as young and middle-age working professionals.
E-commerce is set to boost sales of fragrances, particularly premium men’s and mass women’s fragrances, during the forecast period thanks to the competitive prices offered by the newly emerged online retailers selling these products. Competitive pricing is likely to be especially important during the forecast period as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis continue to affect consumer spending power and confidence, and inflationary pressures further squeeze household budgets.

Fragrances
This is the aggregation of men's, women's and unisex mass and premium fragrances as well as fragrances sets/kits. The distinction between mass market and premium is normally price and label/positioning (mass fragrances rarely carry a designer label) and distribution. Also includes hair fragrances with a primary function of making hair smell good and not to be confused with hair oil and other styling/conditioning products with hair fragrances, whose primary function is to either condition or style over fragrance.
