FRAGRANCE
Trendy Beverages Inspire Latest Fragrances
As more product categories overlap, it is no surprise that some of the latest fragrance trends are inspired by the food and beverage category. With rising momentum behind natural and clean label products, consumers continue to seek out food-based beauty and personal care products. Globally, the food-based cosmetics market is expected to grow at a 6% CAGR (2020-2027).
While fragrances play a critical role in the consumer sensory experience, they are also used to position the brand story and highlight key messaging to the consumer. Read on to learn how brands are tapping into food & beverage trends to inspire fragrances across product categories.
Oat Milk in the Spotlight
Surged to popularity as a plant-based milk alternative, oat milk is having its moment as one of the latest alternative milks to take over various product categories, including beauty and personal care.
