However, the pace of new introductions slowed somewhat last year. In women’s Interview 7 fragrance, the number of launches in 2014 dropped to Gebr Heinemann purchasing & 925 compared with 968 in 2013. The niche category, logistics executive director Kay Spanger which is fast becoming saturated, also saw a slight decline in launches with 448 new products in 2014, against 540 Insight 9 in 2013. European perfumeries But the number of flankers continues to rise—a total of 275 were introduced last year— as brands looked to capitalize on existing ranges rather than take the risk of introducing a Store visit 13 completely new franchise. Yves Rocher, France While most bemoan the number of launches, the newness factor is unlikely to go away. No matter what the industry, from mobile phones to tablets, consumers are looking for the latest new thing. The only difference is that in many other sectors the latest product often boasts a new technological feature or interesting update, while in fragrance, consumers will be offered a lighter or more intense version of a scent that came out a year earlier. The question is whether version x of a well-known scent is compelling enough for consumers to part with their cash and make a purchase.

The brand, founded in 2000, is sold in 50 countries, mainly in specialty stores and pharmacies. Unilever says that Ren has potential for further growth, given that the naturals category is one of the fastest growing in skincare globally. The acquisition is to close in May 2015. Brazil’s national surveillance agency of health, ANVISA, has updated regulations on cosmetics sold in the country. The new regulations mean that a number of cosmetics categories will be exempt from registration. Brands will only be required to notify health authorities that their products will be put on the market. The new regulation aims to simplify and speed up the process of bringing products to market in Brazil. However, the exemption does not apply to what are considered high-risk products, such as hair- straightening items, sunscreen, insect repellent, antiseptic gel and children’s products. Fragrance house Firmenich has sold its fragrance-themed website Osmoz to French digital agency The Twelve. The agency was in charge of Osmoz’s update two years ago, and has been managing the site since then. Launched in 2001, Osmoz is present in more than 15 countries and has 234,000 active members, according to Firmenich. Retail Private-equity company Advent is preparing to list German perfumery chain Douglas on the stock market, says Reuters. Advent is looking to either an IPO towards the end of the year or to selling Douglas, say sources. Advent acquired a majority stake in Douglas in 2012 and took the group private. Douglas has since looked to focus on its perfumery business by buying French retailer Nocibé and selling its jewelry stores Christ and confectionery stores Hussel. It also plans to sell its Thalia book stores division. Budget brand E.l.f. Cosmetics opened its first standalone store outside of the US last month, in Aix-en-Provence, France. The 50m2 (538ft2) boutique sells the brand’s color cosmetics range and has a make-up artist on staff, in addition to its beauty advisors. The brand also moved into skincare last month. The line, priced between $8-$12, will debut with 11 skus and includes a primer, night cream, exfoliating scrub and BB cream. n n n www.bwconfidential.com - March 5 - April 1, 2015 #108 - Page 2 CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL News roundup n n n World Duty Free Group (WDFG) has extended its contract with Kuwait International Airport for five more years, with the option of an additional year.
