From hair mists to perfumed body oils, a more playful and flexible approach to wearing fragrance has picked up in 2023.

Consumers are becoming more experimental with their use of scent, while also looking to extend the sillage of their favourite scents.

And as they do, brands have been honing in on fragranced body products to meet demand.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian refers to this as ‘another path to fragrance’ as the brand invites consumers to wear Baccarat Rouge 540, Oud Satin Mood, 724, Aqua Universalis and À la Rose scents, in a new scented ritual spanning body oils, hair mists, hand and body cleansing gels and body lotions.

The body products retain the same intensity and quality of the original fragrance and enable customers to enjoy a moment of wellbeing and prolong the silage of their favourite perfume.

This whole-body approach to wearing fragrance is one that more perfume brands are exploring, and it broadens the range of different fragrance gestures available to consumers.
