What's Inside

Luxury brands fulfill consumers’ demand for superior products that provide a sense of culture and status. However, high price points do not make a product luxurious. Together with CEW, we explore why beauty and fragrance are natural entry points for fashion brands seeking to elevate themselves to luxury positioning:

• Beauty and fragrance products allow brands to span more consumer touchpoints
• During the pandemic, fragrance became an essential part of many consumers’ lives, cementing it as a solid stepping stone to luxury
• Beauty is unlikely to interfere with a company’s existing lines and offers the potential for lucrative licensing agreements
