Gennette called out fragrance as a top performer at Macy’s during his speech, and afterward, told WWD thatwrit large is on fire. “Makeup is back and it’s really good that masks are off,” he said. “People are putting power back on their faces; they want to look their best and they’re going out. Fragrance never slowed down…and skin care has been very strong.In fragrance, the pie is big enough for all the players.
Later that night, Eilish by Billie Eilish went on to win Popular Fragrance of the Year and Consumer Choice, Women’s Popular of the Year. Niche players are flying, too. “We are growing by a third this year, which is incredible. Not too bad,” joked Frédéric Malle of his namesake brand. As for fragrance’s future, Demachy is most excited by the shifting attitude on materials, which is taking fragrance back to its roots. “There is a return for the natural products more and more,” he said, “because people realize that perfumes come from flowers.”
