The Fragrance sector of beauty products has seen the most turmoil and change over any other sector in the market. With a brief respite in 2006, the last ten years has seen a steady decline in sales. The US market alone has fallen by 8% and despite a frenzy of launches (1,100 new global brands, 300 in the United States) sales continued to drop. In 2011 the international community of fragrance researchers and creators set strategic initiatives in hopes of redefining the future. Heavyweights like International Flavors and Fragrances, Inc. and Bell Flavors and Fragrances, Inc. among others are fueling the market. New scientific developments in capturing natural scents with sustainability approaches have given overwhelmed and frustrated consumers new insight and hope. The science of scents is flourishing and new laws and protocols that have kept end users in the dark to ingredients and formulas have led to a new transparency. By full disclosure and imposing safety criteria, public criticism of the industry has softened considerably. The future of perfumery promises renewed growth and higher customer satisfaction and intrigue.

Fragrance trends for the future have been introduced with emphasis on creative designs. These are exciting times for both prestige and mass categories. One leader in luxury perfumes is Cacharel. With such unique formulations of floral, fruit and musk, Cacharel scents for men and women mix delicate, evocative and mysterious flavors with irresistible layers that are both foreboding and addictive.
