In analysing the top 30 of best selling feminine fragrances, here is what we can say from a olfactory taste point of view. 40% of these fragrances are floral fragrances. J’Adore by Dior, Very Irresistible or Anais Anais are the floral spectrum of brazilian women taste for florals. Anaïs Anaïs has been in the top selling fragrances for decades in Brazil, along with Chanel N.5 and the modern florals like J’Adore and Very Irresistible, have taken the lead.
Nevertheless, we can see that Orientals and modern orientals represent now 32% of best selling fragrances, which is new. In deed, Fragrances like Hypnôse by Lancôme, Black XS for Her and even Angel by Thierry Mugler, have found their place in a market getting more and more mature and sophisticated.
Future developments have great opportunities to go more in what we call modern oriental or florientals. It means the olfactory crossroad between florals and orientals. Basically you keep the femininity brought by the floral structure and you add a sophisticated twist on it with a more sheer and soft oriental signature. To note the success of Lady Million, only recent launch reaching the top 30, bringing a more woody note fragrance. This shows how the market is getting mature.
At last, we can see that brands like Carolina Herrera, Paco Rabanne and Givenchy have several fragrances in the top 30. These 3 brands invested the brazilian market for a very long time and they are very powerful there.

The masculine market is more traditional with best sellers like Azzaro, Polo, Kouros, Fahrenheit or even Hugo. All fragrances with more than 20 years old. Carolina Herrera, Paco Rabanne and Calvin Klein have also a strong dominance. 3 main olfactory structures share the market. Little advantage with Aromatic structures leading the market by 42%, followed by Woody fragrances by 31% and Orientals for 27%.
The arrival of One Million by Paco Rabanne at the 3rd place represents a new entry, which is less aromatic and more oriental despite of some woody and yet fresh-aromatic start.
Future developments still have something to do with fresh aromatic structures and also finding a balance between woody notes and modern oriental fragrances.
Brazil is an amazing market for fragrances. Several brands have been investing a lot and for longtime. The consumers are more expert, and the market got more mature. There are many possibilities for international brands and national brands are getting stronger.
Most of the business is still concentrated in Rio de Janeiro and Sâo Paulo but the country is developing. We expect to see a major infrastructure development thanks to the incoming events like the 2014 world soccer cup and the 2016 Olympic games in Rio. This represent great opportunities for brands to invest in Brazil and potentially get a new market.
