The Russian fragrance market continues to follow healthy lifestyle trends, such as the use of eco-friendly cosmetics and perfumes without harmful additives. In recent years, handmade organic cosmetics have become popular, and small community-based retail chains and online shops specializing in cosmetics have sprung up. Today, Russian consumers prefer smaller sizes (30 ml and 50 ml), and the lines between men and women tend to blur. Because women seek a different olfactory world and are seduced by very trendy blended perfumes, this trend mostly comes from niche brands. Layering is fine, too. In addition to the floral, fruity, and/or gourmand scents that are so popular in Russia, customers are opening up to other scent categories. While fresh and Hesperidian scents are timeless, chypre, woody, and oriental scents are always more successful. The public expects more complex perfumes. According to Research Report “Russia Perfume Market Research Report, 2027” published by Actual Market Research, the market is expected to add 0.65 Billion by 2027. The Russia perfume market is gaining momentum due to rising personal care trends and growing demand for exotic scents for young people. Moreover, product diversification by manufacturers is attracting more consumer segments. Apart from that, rising consumer spending on luxury fragrances due to rising income levels and rising living standards continues to boost perfume sales. Other major factors propelling the demand for perfumes worldwide are rapid urbanization, increasing population and aggressive advertising by the manufacturers. However, the availability of counterfeit goods is one of the biggest challenges for the market.

Declining consumer purchasing power due to declining disposable income has forced retailers and manufacturers into an all-out price war, regularly offering discounts of up to 30–50%. This approach has turned the consumer into a bargain hunter. All of this has impacted sales in many market categories. Because of their low disposable income, most Russian consumers are likely to remain price sensitive in the coming years. As a result, they continue to seek value for money and prefer cosmetics and personal care products offered at discounted prices.

Covid-19 Impact: The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the transformation of the sector, especially regarding distribution, a key link in the perfume value chain. Leading perfumers have had to compensate for brick-and-mortar store closures by expanding digital sales channels, especially specialized e-commerce sites. Faced with this trend, brick-and-mortar retailers must innovate and communicate to keep customers engaged in their stores. The ones most likely to buck this trend are large, powerful networks that are either bringing independent brands into the group or risking their disappearance. Online retailers are recognizing growing interest as home consumers seek alternatives to retail. Some cosmetics brands, inventories, and mail-order retailers have reported doubling their e-commerce sales compared to pre-COVID-19.
