We are very pleased with this edition of Fragranze and with the atmosphere throughout the event. The show is evolving in the right direction and is increasingly establishing itself as an international reference point for perfumery and skincare. We received a great deal of positive feedback on the presence of highly qualified, high-profile buyers from Italy and abroad, who found in Florence a carefully selected mix of established brands and new names to discover. A key part of this process has also been the extensive work carried out together with the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) to bring delegations of industry professionals, buyers and press from more than 30 countries to Fragranze. This is one of the show’s main strengths. For many brands, Fragranze is an important opportunity to expand their distribution across key international markets while at the same time strengthening their presence in Italy’s leading retail destinations.

Also central to Fragranze’s success are its format and the clear segmentation of its offering, making it easy to discover brands and encouraging dialogue between exhibitors and visitors.
Over the years, Fragranze has built a distinct identity based on research and clear selection criteria. We want to continue strengthening it, together with the functional and elegant visitor experience that has always distinguished the show. The many new launches presented by the brands, together with the increasingly compelling storytelling developed by the companies themselves, were particularly appreciated by the most discerning buyers, who increasingly see stores as experiential spaces. The Soul and Skin section, dedicated to skincare, and Spring, showcasing new names, continue to provide effective guidance and opportunities for discovery, thanks to their distinct identities and carefully selected offerings highlighting specific categories and trends in perfumery and personal care. This edition also saw the debut of Code Korea, a new project dedicated to Korean beauty culture, developed in collaboration with the Korea Creative Content Agency.
There was also great interest in Special Guest Niccolò Pasqualetti, Master Perfumer Daniela Andrier, the Mane presentation and the results of the Fragranze Observatory promoted by Pitti Immagine, to name just a few. These were complemented by the extensive program of talks curated by Paola Gariboldi and Silvia Manzoni, as well as the many presentations organized by exhibiting brands at the UniCredit Fragranze Arena in Stazione Leopolda and across the city. Together, they enriched the experience of the show with compelling content, notable figures and opportunities for in-depth discussion that attracted strong audience interest.
