“Brazilian fragrance wearers are experiencing a developing category, and are able to choose between national and imported products that are available either online, at physical stores, or through catalog sales representatives. These consumers are mostly interested in new launches and new brands. The category posted gains of approximately R$ 7 billion in 2013, a 2% increase compared to 2012, positive results, considering the current unstable economic climate, where prices are seven percentage points higher – a clear indication that consumers wish to keep the same level of consumption experienced in previous years. Exclusiveness, variety (of essences and concentration), and availability of information (from the simplest to the more complex) are some of the key elements for the success of the category in the country. It wasn’t a coincidence that an iconic fragrance brand chose a modern, independent, and passionate Brazilian model to star in its annual campaign. The Brazilian market is beginning to be seen as a stage to launch innovations and trends, since it’s at the forefront of world consumption of fragrances.”
