Observed by Mahdi Zahreddine, Managing Director of Düllberg Konzentra Middle East during his recent visit to the Esxence exhibition in Milan and Paris Perfume Week in Paris Gourmand Delights, Exotic Fruits, And Amber Revisited THE YEAR 2025 marks a bold new chapter in perfumery, highlighting several key trends dominating the contemporary olfactory landscape. These include the explosive popularity of exotic fruity accords, the sophistication of complex gourmand fragrances, the renewed fascination with amber as a modern alternative to oud and the trend towards highly concentrated fragrance extracts. FRUITY EXPLOSION Exotic fruits are making waves in perfumery, bringing joy and escapism. Mango, guava, and passion fruit shine, with Born To Stand Out’s Extrait Extrême line featuring Black Mango, a rich oud-mango blend, and Black Guava, a refined woody-guava composition. COMPLEX GOURMANDS Gourmand fragrances are evolving into refined, addictive compositions. Notes like pistachio, almond, and coffee take centre stage. Tonka Latte by Parfums Dusita enchants with warm vanilla, tonka bean, and honey, evoking a Parisian café.
