"Year-​to-​date U.S. Prestige Beauty fragrance sales have experienced a 5% increase compared to the same period a year ago, driven by strong growth in men’s fragrance sales (+6%), according to research from The NPD Group."

"In fact, men’s fragrance sales grew by 10%, representative of a nearly $8 million gain, during the two weeks leading up to Father’s Day in 2018. Men’s juice sales comprised the largest contribution to this increase, driving $6.9 million dollars in incremental sales for the same period."

“'The men’s fragrance business continues to enjoy steady growth and not only during times of gift-​giving,' stated Larissa Jensen, Beauty Industry Analyst, The NPD Group. 'While holidays and new product launches create excitement around men’s fragrances, the release of luxury concentrations like perfumes among several of the top-​performing brands currently account for what’s driving growth in the market.'”

"Consumers have come to better understand the value of highly concentrated formulations, which tend to be more potent and long-​lasting. In the two weeks prior to Father’s Day 2018, sales of these more concentrated juices grew by $6.6 million and drove 85% of the category growth. And NPD data indicates a potential reason for this trend. Based on NPD’s Scentiments survey, 35% of men indicated that they prefer to wear a scent that not only can they smell, but that others can smell as well."

"During June 2018, the niche artisanal category grew 13%, and it continues to be the fastest growing brand type within men’s fragrance, up 25% year-to-date."
