4. Key Market Opportunity
A key opportunity in the Solid Perfume Market is the fragrance lover who regularly loses or confiscates preferred spray fragrance in airport security and has not yet discovered solid as a permanent travel solution. A large proportion of frequent business and leisure travellers who enjoy personal fragrance discard or check expensive spray EDT and EDP when carry-on restrictions apply at airport security. Solid perfume marketed explicitly as the permanent travel fragrance solution with carry-on compliance and airport security messaging creates conversion rationale for the large frequent flyer fragrance consumer. Solid perfume brands investing in travel-specific packaging with TSA-compliance communication and airline partnership retail placement are positioned to capture the large frequent-flyer fragrance travel segment.
