Strong growth in the 2023 first half Sales: €396m (+24%)

Factors contributing to the 2023 first half performance included:

  • The continuing strength of the worldwide selective fragrance market;
  • The continuing strength of the Group's top-selling brands and lines;
  • High growth in volume;
  • Sales price increases of around 5% phased in between February and April.

After business in Q1 2023 benefited from several launches and the high level of restocking following robust sales at the end of 2022, demand for catalog products remained strong in Q2 2023, well above budget, with consolidated sales of €181.5m, up more than 16% at current exchange rates, and 17% at constant exchange rates, compared with Q2 2022.

As a result, for the full 2023 first half consolidated sales rose to nearly €400m, up 24.3% at current exchange rates and 23.4% at constant exchange rates over the same period in 2022.
