12 September 2018

While the Internet continues to modify consumer buying behavior, the second edition of the French Federation of Selective Perfumery (FFPS) study conducted by IFOP on the customer journey reveals that far from being opposed, stores and the Internet confirm their complementarity in the journey and experience of beauty product buyers (perfumes, skincare, makeup).

Main findings

Almost 2/3 of the customers make their purchases mainly in storeto see, test the products and get advice.
The Internet is the ideal channel for comparing prices (60%) and taking advantage of promotions (47%).
The click & collectis now part of the customer journey (31%) combining web purchase and in-store pickup.
The young people (under 35 years old)prefer the store. 49% prefer it for advice.

Internet and stores strengthen their comparative advantage

If for 33 % of French people, the Internet is the preferred point of contact for information prior to purchase and in particular to compare prices (49 %), stores remain for 73 % of the people questioned, the preferred place of purchase, whether for make-up (71%), perfumes/watercolors (74%) or body and face care (74%).
Comparing the results of the previous study conducted in 2016, the assets assigned to these two channels are reinforced. 63% of French people prefer the store to see the products (58% in 2016), 43% to benefit from advice vs 34% in 2016. 60% prefer internet to compare prices vs 50% in 2016 and 47% to buy when they want (+8 points vs 2016).
" Our customers have become omnichannel! Far from being substitutes, the two channels are complementary. They are now complementary, says William G Koeberlé, President of the FFPS and the FEPD*.

Well-identified motivations

Among the 73% of customers who finalize their purchases in-store, in addition to the advice/services/animations that 43 % of those surveyed praise (compared to 34 % in 2016), it is the imagination that beauty products develop (see, smell, test...) that pushes them to take action at the points of sale for 44 % of them.
"Informed in real time thanks to the Internet, customers who walk through the door of stores are looking for a real display of products and a personalized experience "comments William G Koeberlé.
And among those who make purchases on the web, 60 % cite good prices (up 10 % from 2016) and 47 % (up 8 %) praise practicality. This is especially true on products like skincare, which are more suitable for re-purchases than fragrances or makeup.

Millennials, continue to store

Hyper-connected, the under 35 population, always looking for low prices and promotions on the web, still goes to the stores to make their beauty products purchases and to enjoy them.
The reasons mentioned: for 68 % of them the possibility to see the products (against 61 % for the over 35 years old) and 49 % to be able to test them (43 % for the other generations).

Each year, a prestigious sponsor partners the Corpo 35 competition, offering a selection of its precious raw materials to enable the 35 selected candidates to formulate their olfactory creations. This gives them the chance to work with a range of top-quality products that they would not otherwise have access to on their own.
This year, Firmeniche will be offering an exceptional palette of its finest synthetic, natural and base ingredients, all of which will have a story, a legitimacy to inspire the selected candidates and reveal their creativity. Details of the theme and the "rules of the game" that will set a new tone for this 2019 edition will be revealed by Firmenich at the presentation of its precious raw materials.
Cécile Vialla's starting point was the observation that "niche perfumery is still under-represented in France, and little-known compared to other countries". Created at the initiative of Parfumerie Damiette in Rouen, and renewed every year, in partnership with over thirty players in the industry, Corpo 35 provides an opportunity for new talent to emerge, and to encourage and unleash the creativity of young perfumers.
At the end of the six months dedicated to creating the perfume and the presentation file, the jury of professionals, chaired by Dora Baghriche, Perfumer at Firmenich, will unveil the five winners at the awards evening in June 2019, to which will be added two winners rewarded by the Centdegrés agency for the creative part of the storyboard.

Registration is open until September 30 for this 3rd edition, whose theme is "Impressionism".

Laetitia Toupet, General Manager of La Roche-Posay, said: "This acquisition project will enable us to perpetuate and strengthen the dermatological roots of the La Roche-Posay brand by developing existing indications, and to make the spa the flagship of the brand".
Recommended by over 90,000 dermatologists worldwide, the La Roche-Posay brand creates skin care products formulated with thermal spring water for sensitive skin. The world's leading dermocosmetics brand, its main ranges are Lipikar (dry skin), Anthélios (photoprotection), Effaclar (acne-prone skin), Tolériane (sensitive skin) and Cicaplast (skin repair).

Gently rubbing your skin with Quadpack's new Tourmaline Konjac sponge gives you the same feeling of well-being as standing beside a waterfall. Tourmaline is charged with negative ions, magical molecules that neutralize airborne pollutants and allergens.

Negative ions abound in nature, especially in forests, on beaches and with particular intensity near waterfalls. Their energizing and refreshing effects can also be felt in the air after a thunderstorm.

This new sponge harnesses the benefits of negative ions with premium tourmaline powder from Brazil. Hot water and friction boost its beneficial effects, making the sponge an ideal system for maximum benefit.

The konjac sponge itself is an all-natural product that gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin, with or without soap. Already known in Asia for its benefits, it satisfies today's consumer preference for organic products. Konjac sponge is made from entirely vegetable fibers and is 100 % biodegradable and free from colorants, additives and preservatives.

Tourmaline Konjac sponge is available in many different shapes and sizes. It is packaged in a heat-sealed sachet that Quadpack can personalize with the brand's image.

- Laurence Férat, perfume journalist for Le Figaro and Cosmétique Mag, (co-author with Sabine Chabbert, of Parfums Raresaux éditions Terre Bleue 2014);
- Anne Devroye, graduate of the École du Louvre and Doctor of Art History, former curator of the Musée Jakovsky and the Muséed'art naïf de Nice;
- Mathilde Le Chatelier, a descendant of François Coty and General Secretary of the Association;
- Erik Halley, feather worker, embroiderer, creator of unique jewelry, body adornments and head ornaments for the world's fashion and music icons;
- Daniel Molière, perfumer and osmothecary - creator of Eau de Givenchy, Givenchy fragrances, Santos pour homme (Cartier), Jardin clos and Tam Dao for Diptyque.

Presentation of the François Coty Prize : The Prix François Coty evening, reserved for perfume professionals, will be held on Monday December 3 from 5pm at the Château d'Artigny. It will begin with an Exhibition dedicated to the world of François Coty, featuring the finest perfume and bottle creations (300 original bottles, archives and personal objects).
The award ceremony will be preceded by an Olfactive Conference, "La Ligne de Vie Parfumée de François Coty", hosted by Patricia de Nicolaï, President of the Osmothèque de Versailles, and Jean Kerléo, its founder. She will present the perfumes of François Coty, now out of print and carefully preserved at the Osmothèque de Versailles.
The trophy presentation will be followed by a fragrant dinner to close the event.
