Fragrance Segment Dominate the Market Share


Perfumes are used by both women and men, and they signify the consumer's personality, style, and individuality. Historically, there has been an inclination for exotic ouds and fine perfumes in Saudi Arabia, which has attracted numerous international perfume manufacturers to invest in the region. On account of this, Saudi Arabia has established itself as a major hub for the creation of trendsetting perfumes. A shift in consumers’ preferences for natural perfumes over synthetic perfumes led to the introduction of oud-based perfumes by several western brands. This is further supported by increasing promotional campaigns by the manufacturers. The potential of the fragrance market segment has also led the Middle Eastern luxury distribution group, Chalhoub, to create its own brand of oriental fragrance called Ghawali, in 2016, under the luxury fragrance segment. The new brand intends to present a traditional product in a contemporary manner. Like most other oriental fragrance brands, the product was retailed through the company’s own standalone store network. Currently, the company is planning to sell its product on the online platform with an aim to broaden its customer base and geographical presence, after achieving success in the offline platform.
