Gen Z has approximately 60 million customers. Around 60% of Generation Z was categorized as economically well, which indicated that their all necessary bill is covered and still they are with capital left over to spend on luxuries or add to their savings. Because of social media, influencers, and celebrities, luxury is more prevalent in their lives than it was in previous generations. For Gen-Z and millennials, luxury means sophistication, they do not pay attention to the price but focus on values. For them. It's all about branding, the aspirations of the brand, and the quality of the product.
•  Rising Practice of Aromatherapy– Essential oils have been utilized to improve a person's health or mood for approximately 6,000 years. Aromatherapy, often known as essential oil treatment, includes a group of traditional, alternative, and additional therapies that make use of essential oils and other aromatic plant chemicals. Essential oils have been discovered to have varying degrees of antimicrobial action and are thought to have antiviral, nematicidal, antifungal, insecticidal, and antioxidant activities. Aromatherapy frequently supplements other treatments for those suffering from diseases such as anxiety. Aromatherapy is also used to preserve wellness and generally make people feel better.
• Increasing Celebrity Endorsement for Fragrances – The fragrance demand is predicted to increase significantly, which is one of the key reasons why smells will be a big licensing potential for celebrities.

Perfume arrangements can be especially tempting because celebrities typically receive a royalty rate of 5-10%, as well as an initial payment for licensing their name. Many celebrities are entering the fragrance industry since it provides them with a win-win situation.

Challenges

• Rising Demand for Non-Scented Products- Consumers appear to be increasingly requesting fragrance-free goods, whether for household cleaning or personal care. Some people assume that by doing so, they are getting a more natural product. While not everyone has the same reaction, many people have allergy-like symptoms after coming into touch with fragrance compounds. As a result, the number of companies offering fragrance-free products has increased. Sometimes, fragrance-free and unscented are used as synonyms but they are not the same.  Fragrance-free products do not have any synthetic or natural fragrance ingredients. On the other hand, unscented items do not often have a discernible aroma, however, they may contain fragrance compounds that conceal or neutralize the odors of other substances.
