My Market Insight

My Market Insight, the company for data, commentary and analysis across various media platforms, has revealed its weekly beauty insight today with a focus on fragrance in June 2017.

Describing fragrances can be difficult – in order to explain the scent’s makeup, it is important to have a good understanding of the notes as well as the perfumery process. Fragrance has specific influencers who specialise in the category, dedicating their content to perfumery. This report highlights Persolaise, as an example of a fragrance specific influencer. While influencers such as Persolaise and The Candy Perfume Boy, have smaller followings than more mainstream beauty influencers, their content is more detailed and brings with it a level of expertise that they can share. Furthermore, their followers are seeking out this fragrance content and subsequently engage in the posts. 

The fragrance categories are as follows; female, male, unisex, body spray, room fragrance and fragrance gift packs. In terms of all 3 of the major metrics - PR mentions, AVE and weight of coverage, female fragrance ranks first. This clearly indicates female fragrance’s dominance within the category.
