Men's Fragrances - Europe - September 2011

Men's Fragrances - Europe - September 2011

This report looks at the European Men’s fragrances market and provides a comprehensive overview of the market size and forecast, companies, brands and industry innovations. In addition, it also looks at consumer trends affecting the men’s fragrance market.

Seasonal and limited editions have featured strongly in recent product launches, with scents based on spicy, wood notes also important. Many classic fragrances have been given a more modern touch, with suppliers also paying more attention to the teen market.

Fragrances enjoy wide appeal among men from all socio-demographic backgrounds, but the core consumer base in terms of product penetration is formed of under-45s, higher earners and full-time workers. Greatest volume use, however, tends to be geared towards men aged 55-64, a large percentage of whom are daily users, although the affluent bias remains.


£1,999.01

“Mintel sees much potential in the teen men's fragrance sector as young men (15-19s) are interested in expanding their grooming regimes beyond basic toiletries and are under-represented for fragrance usage. Just as women's fragrances have been expanded with more youthful flankers (eg Chanel Coco Mademoiselle), there is potential to introduce more youthful variants of some classic men's scents.”

– Michelle Strutton, Head of Beauty Research

For the purposes of this report, Men’s fragrances include eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and aftershave/splash-on fragrances.
