Trend Tracker Reports are designed to give fragrance teams key insights into current trends alongside a recap of the previous season from the year before. The ‘What’s new’ slide is an insightful overview into the main market drivers before an in-depth look with supporting product launches through the curated trend stories for the season.

Designed to give perfumers, evaluators, marketers and sales teams key insights into what trend themes are evolving the market and a focused analysis into olfactive preferences shaping the home fragrance and air care sector for consumers.

AUTUMN + FALL  2023 TREND DRIVERS

WARMTH 2.0

Autumn notes of warmth are more sophisticated in one way and more fun in another. The hot beverage inspiration aka the café trend has made some clever ‘flavour’ combinations come to life, whereas the fireside trend has morphed into a new style of warmth – something much more exotic and richer.

THE MIDAS EFFECT

Golden woods, golden amber and golden vanilla – across the board it’s all looking much more sophisticated from blonde woods to spicy musks and lashings of amber accords to wrap consumers in coziness of a new kind.

FRESH NATURE

Perhaps in juxtaposition to the ‘warm notes’ there has been a renewed focus on clean, green fruits such as pear, citrus notes such as bergamot and even some vegetal notes such as green lettuce and radish (see Shrine Flora Punk later in the report). With fig, apricots, wild berries, grass, dandelions and Autumn rain (water is a seasonless trend it seems) consumers are enjoying the clarity nature provides through scent.
