Perfume Market Analysis
Perfume is an odorous combination of odoriferous essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents, intended to have an appealing aroma. Commonly used in personal grooming, cultural rites, and luxury markets, perfumes are products manufactured through a mixing process of top, heart, and base notes that produce a distinctive odor pleasure that exhibits one’s personality, and preference of occasion and style.
To achieve growth in the Perfume market in India, companies are expanding the product ranges of natural, long-lasting, and gender-neutral perfumes to target Gen Z and millennial consumers. Top brands such as Titan’s SKINN and Bella Vita Organic focus on the premiumization of products and affordability, whereas brands such as Emami and ITC move towards omnichannel distribution through e-commerce and retail chains for the growth of perfume brands in India. In addition, companies are adopting the use of AI-driven personalization tools and niche fragrance manufacturing to meet the dynamic tastes.
For example, on May 3, 2025, CHANEL announced the launch of its Fragrance & Beauty products on Nykaa, India's leading beauty and lifestyle destination digital-first consumer tech company, serving over 40 million customers through its online platforms and 221+ offline beauty destinations.
