Elements Showcase: Retrospective

Bodo Kubartz — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 09:15:21 +0000

As some commentators have put it: Elements Showcase proves to be the spot to present and perceive niche and upcoming brands in perfumery and cosmetics on the US and on the international market. At the 5th edition on January 28 & 29, 2013, in New York City, the presence of many novel brands with a keen focus to restrict themselves to „quality doors“ was maintained by an atmosphere of artsy lightness and cool understatement: while the introduction and presentation of brands exemplified an ever-increasing breadth and depth of this segment, the economical proof on the market and brand sustainability is yet to come.The documented success of prestige perfumes, in particular, has led to an increase of new brands that characterize themselves as niche/artisan/artistic. This characterization neither stands for olfactive quality nor for the necessary long-term performance of all brands everywhere. The themes of natural and organic beauty (also within perfumes) and individualized elegance (establishment of novel accords of prestige) are driving forces of this segment. Those facets are highlighted and emphasized through diverging philosophies of brand creation and USP’s. The event holds true to its name: it is showcasing elements of an internationally increasing breadth of brands and products.

New York City: Elements Showcase

Bodo Kubartz — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 09:01:53 +0000

Elements Showcase has become an internationally-acknowledged event and place to be for creative and innovative perfume and cosmetic brands. It started in 2011 and is a bi-annual event bringing together thinkers and doers in the more artistic and artisan part of the industry. One of the founders and organizers is German-born Ulrich Lang who is widely recognized for his excellent knowledge of the market, his own brand but also for his involvement in the international art scene.
My sponsored participation by a client will allow me to investigate this market further through “being there.” I am looking forward to stay in “the city that never sleeps” again after some time of absence.

Developments 2013: The Perfume Zone at Beyond Beauty

Bodo Kubartz — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 07:51:55 +0000

With the increasing recognition of traditional and newly developed brands under the heading „niche fragrances“, even established events such as Beyond Beauty in Paris are accounting for and dedicating space for this growing segment. During the next Beyond Beauty (9-11 September 2013, Porte de Versailles, Paris), a special area at CREATIVE Beauty will be secured for the creators of fine fragrances. The area is called Perfume Zone and “from conception to distribution, the Perfume Zone focuses on the different production stages of a fragrance” (info by the organizer). I am very curious about the developments of this initiative.
