Gen-Z’s preferences have shaped the beauty industry in recent years, from acne stickers to faux freckles. But the fragrance category has especially felt Gen-Z’s influence.As maturing Gen-Z customers began to discover and experiment with scent, fragrance has emerged as a consistent bright spot for the beauty industry since 2021. That growing interest provided something of a cushion to the overall sector throughout the past year as it dealt with slowing sales; a study from consulting firm McKinsey noted that while fragrance is the smallest category in beauty, it was 2024’s fastest-growing. But the heavy reliance on the category has tested its resiliency. Gen-Z is still buying fragrance, but their preferences are shifting. Driven by PerfumeTok, today, these shoppers build up perfume collections, chase trends (like gourmand scents) and layer multiple fragrances at once, rather than sticking with a signature scent. But because they want to try so many scents, they’re also embracing more low-cost ways to do so. These behaviours are changing the category: In 2024, sales of prestige perfumes and colognes, the largest segment in fragrance, grew 14 percent year-over-year. But more consumers went for less expensive options when purchasing prestige — the largest fragrance segment — perfumes and colognes, with growth among 18 to 24-year-old shoppers predominantly driven by mini or travel sizes, according to market research firm Circana. Meanwhile, the mass channel has continued to face slowing sales between 2022 and 2024, growing just 2 percent year-over-year by September 2024.Fragrance is well positioned heading into 2025, but to keep the hot streak going, brands and companies will need to find ways not only to connect with Gen-Z, but convince them to trade up to full-size prestige and luxury fragrances. Doing so largely depends on brands releasing innovative products in unique packaging and finding entertaining avenues to reach customers amid a looming TikTok ban. But they also must address the Gen-Z — and increasingly, Gen Alpha — desire for less expensive scents in the form of body sprays, hair perfume, perfume solids and minis without getting them too used to shopping for the least expensive item. Whether Gen-Zers will find these attempts appealing could prove extremely consequential for the future of fragrance.“There’s an opportunity to continue to drive this business through younger shoppers, at least for some time,” said Wendy Liebmann, CEO of insights firm WSL Strategic Retail.The Innovation RaceGen-Z wants more out of fragrance innovation than just perfumes and candles.That desire has boosted the popularity of products like hair perfume and body mists, and now is giving way to a slate of other iterations of fragrance. Indie brand Perfumehead, for example, is leaning on fragrance oils, which are alcohol-free and said to last longer. Meanwhile, Glossier, Fenty Beauty and Byredo have all turned to solid fragrances, offering travel friendly options in visually friendly packaging. Separately, Jo Loves, the second brainchild of Jo Malone, sells fragrance paintbrushes for $58 which contain a perfumed gel to swipe across the skin. Mood-boosting fragrances are also on the rise. When Puig-owned Charlotte Tilbury launched fragrances space in April, its collection of six was designed with “mood-boosting” properties in mind. And in September, Coty partnered with Adidas to launch six scents based on “vibes” that elicited positive emotions. “Packaging and presentation are important, because fragrance can be a status symbol,” said Liebmann. “As are promotions that drive exclusivity, like [product] drops that are new or limited edition; and all those [other] ways to make it [popular] digitally and physically and drive demand.” For example, the team behind British Gen-Z makeup brand Lottie London launched fragrance through a partnership with Netflix’s show “Outer Banks,” dropping two limited-edition direct-to-consumer eau de parfums. The 50 millilitre and 100 millilitre sizes retail for $35 and $49, respectively.“It was an easier route for us to play in by [working with] a massively engaged audience, and that allowed us to test it with our community and the fans,” said Lyndon Robertson, brand director for Lottie London. “People also crave out-of-screen moments with [television] shows, so this felt like the right first step into fragrance.”Lottie London plans to roll out body spray with its retail partners, which include CVS and Walmart, in early 2025, and perfumes are planned for the second half of 2025. Body sprays and mists have gained significant traction among Gen-Zers, with Circana reporting that these products have average prices under $25, and have more than doubled in sales revenue since the first half of 2023. “Every [retailer] is looking for the next Sol de Janeiro,” Robertson said, referring to the L’Occitane Group-owned brand, whose beachy scents have become a Gen-Z and Gen Alpha favourite. Last year, Sol de Janeiro was Sephora’s top-selling brand.Communicating On and OfflineAccording to Circana’s most recent consumer fragrance study, 73 percent of Gen-Zers wear fragrance at least three times per week. And oftentimes, social media spurs those purchases: TikTok ranked No. 1 for Gen-Z in influencing fragrance purchases at 66 percent, while Instagram came in second at 64 percent, followed by YouTube at 41 percent.“Fragrance had historically been behind the other categories in social, and more and more, it’s finding space to grow because there’s more of a passion and the community is driving it,” said Malena Higuera, general manager of Noyz, a Gen-Z-centric brand from incubator Beach House Group. “People are excited to share their personal cocktail of what they feel like that day, and as a result, what they want to evoke and emote and smell like.”Noyz is about “raw emotion” and not taking yourself too seriously, she said, as demonstrated with the names of its initial fragrances,“Shitty Day” and “Unmute.” Noyz launched nationally in Ulta Beauty when the brand debuted in June. It offers four fragrances for 50 millilitres at $85 each, plus a sample discovery set for $22, and individual 15-millilitre sprays for $35 each. “​​Storytelling in fragrance is aspirational but fantastical to the point that it doesn’t reflect how you truly feel,” she said. “We want to be there where we’re ready to get [emotionally] raw.”Higuera said that keeping Gen-Z engaged in fragrances requires more than just product innovation, particularly around aligning with their values. For World Mental Health Day last fall the brand created a voicemail box for its customers, meant to encourage unfiltered emotional expression; fans could call and “leave a message” with their thoughts and concerns.Feeding into online communities is a key sales and brand equity driver in a social media age. Unlike the splashy and highly-sexed perfume ads from fashion brands and celebrities that have long dominated, digitally native fragrance brands aim for conversations with customers, not aspirational dictations. Glossier first teased its two latest fragrances, Rêve and Doux, in Sept. 2024 on Instagram, and sent locked boxes with the scents inside to a number of influencers who, on the day of their release, received a code to open them.However, while Gen-Z is significantly more likely to be influenced by social media than other generations, online reviews and recommendations from friends and family also play a big role with this cohort, according to Circana. And they’re still making impulse purchases in-store. Higuera said she anticipates more experiential opportunities in 2025, especially in the face of a TikTok ban, and Noyz already plans to partake in offline marketing. Lottie London invested in offline events with Netflix to promote its “Outer Banks” scents, with plans for more in 2025.“The sensory side of beauty is so important to [Gen-Z] and taking it off a screen to interact in-real-life is key to build even stronger consumer-brand connections,” said Robertson. “[But] events do need to have a pull beyond products — they need to be made into a ‘day out’ with multifaceted events that invite consumers to be fully immersed into the brand world.” Source link

Body sprays and mists have gained significant traction among Gen-Zers, with Circana reporting that these products have average prices under $25, and have more than doubled in sales revenue since the first half of 2023. “Every [retailer] is looking for the next Sol de Janeiro,” Robertson said, referring to the L’Occitane Group-owned brand, whose beachy scents have become a Gen-Z and Gen Alpha favourite. Last year, Sol de Janeiro was Sephora’s top-selling brand.Communicating On and OfflineAccording to Circana’s most recent consumer fragrance study, 73 percent of Gen-Zers wear fragrance at least three times per week. And oftentimes, social media spurs those purchases: TikTok ranked No. 1 for Gen-Z in influencing fragrance purchases at 66 percent, while Instagram came in second at 64 percent, followed by YouTube at 41 percent.“Fragrance had historically been behind the other categories in social, and more and more, it’s finding space to grow because there’s more of a passion and the community is driving it,” said Malena Higuera, general manager of Noyz, a Gen-Z-centric brand from incubator Beach House Group. “People are excited to share their personal cocktail of what they feel like that day, and as a result, what they want to evoke and emote and smell like.”Noyz is about “raw emotion” and not taking yourself too seriously, she said, as demonstrated with the names of its initial fragrances,“Shitty Day” and “Unmute.” Noyz launched nationally in Ulta Beauty when the brand debuted in June. It offers four fragrances for 50 millilitres at $85 each, plus a sample discovery set for $22, and individual 15-millilitre sprays for $35 each. “​​Storytelling in fragrance is aspirational but fantastical to the point that it doesn’t reflect how you truly feel,” she said. “We want to be there where we’re ready to get [emotionally] raw.”Higuera said that keeping Gen-Z engaged in fragrances requires more than just product innovation, particularly around aligning with their values. For World Mental Health Day last fall the brand created a voicemail box for its customers, meant to encourage unfiltered emotional expression; fans could call and “leave a message” with their thoughts and concerns.Feeding into online communities is a key sales and brand equity driver in a social media age. Unlike the splashy and highly-sexed perfume ads from fashion brands and celebrities that have long dominated, digitally native fragrance brands aim for conversations with customers, not aspirational dictations. Glossier first teased its two latest fragrances, Rêve and Doux, in Sept. 2024 on Instagram, and sent locked boxes with the scents inside to a number of influencers who, on the day of their release, received a code to open them.However, while Gen-Z is significantly more likely to be influenced by social media than other generations, online reviews and recommendations from friends and family also play a big role with this cohort, according to Circana. And they’re still making impulse purchases in-store. Higuera said she anticipates more experiential opportunities in 2025, especially in the face of a TikTok ban, and Noyz already plans to partake in offline marketing. Lottie London invested in offline events with Netflix to promote its “Outer Banks” scents, with plans for more in 2025.“The sensory side of beauty is so important to [Gen-Z] and taking it off a screen to interact in-real-life is key to build even stronger consumer-brand connections,” said Robertson. “[But] events do need to have a pull beyond products — they need to be made into a ‘day out’ with multifaceted events that invite consumers to be fully immersed into the brand world.” Source link

Gen-Z’s preferences have shaped the beauty industry in recent years, from acne stickers to faux freckles. But the fragrance category has especially felt Gen-Z’s influence.As maturing Gen-Z customers began to discover and experiment with scent, fragrance has emerged as a consistent bright spot for the beauty industry since 2021. That growing interest provided something of a cushion to the overall sector throughout the past year as it dealt with slowing sales; a study from consulting firm McKinsey noted that while fragrance is the smallest category in beauty, it was 2024’s fastest-growing. But the heavy reliance on the category has tested its resiliency. Gen-Z is still buying fragrance, but their preferences are shifting. Driven by PerfumeTok, today, these shoppers build up perfume collections, chase trends (like gourmand scents) and layer multiple fragrances at once, rather than sticking with a signature scent. But because they want to try so many scents, they’re also embracing more low-cost ways to do so. These behaviours are changing the category: In 2024, sales of prestige perfumes and colognes, the largest segment in fragrance, grew 14 percent year-over-year. But more consumers went for less expensive options when purchasing prestige — the largest fragrance segment — perfumes and colognes, with growth among 18 to 24-year-old shoppers predominantly driven by mini or travel sizes, according to market research firm Circana. Meanwhile, the mass channel has continued to face slowing sales between 2022 and 2024, growing just 2 percent year-over-year by September 2024.Fragrance is well positioned heading into 2025, but to keep the hot streak going, brands and companies will need to find ways not only to connect with Gen-Z, but convince them to trade up to full-size prestige and luxury fragrances. Doing so largely depends on brands releasing innovative products in unique packaging and finding entertaining avenues to reach customers amid a looming TikTok ban. But they also must address the Gen-Z — and increasingly, Gen Alpha — desire for less expensive scents in the form of body sprays, hair perfume, perfume solids and minis without getting them too used to shopping for the least expensive item. Whether Gen-Zers will find these attempts appealing could prove extremely consequential for the future of fragrance.“There’s an opportunity to continue to drive this business through younger shoppers, at least for some time,” said Wendy Liebmann, CEO of insights firm WSL Strategic Retail.The Innovation RaceGen-Z wants more out of fragrance innovation than just perfumes and candles.That desire has boosted the popularity of products like hair perfume and body mists, and now is giving way to a slate of other iterations of fragrance. Indie brand Perfumehead, for example, is leaning on fragrance oils, which are alcohol-free and said to last longer. Meanwhile, Glossier, Fenty Beauty and Byredo have all turned to solid fragrances, offering travel friendly options in visually friendly packaging. Separately, Jo Loves, the second brainchild of Jo Malone, sells fragrance paintbrushes for $58 which contain a perfumed gel to swipe across the skin. Mood-boosting fragrances are also on the rise. When Puig-owned Charlotte Tilbury launched fragrances space in April, its collection of six was designed with “mood-boosting” properties in mind. And in September, Coty partnered with Adidas to launch six scents based on “vibes” that elicited positive emotions. “Packaging and presentation are important, because fragrance can be a status symbol,” said Liebmann. “As are promotions that drive exclusivity, like [product] drops that are new or limited edition; and all those [other] ways to make it [popular] digitally and physically and drive demand.” For example, the team behind British Gen-Z makeup brand Lottie London launched fragrance through a partnership with Netflix’s show “Outer Banks,” dropping two limited-edition direct-to-consumer eau de parfums.

Is Dubai Real Estate in a Bubble?

Dubai's property market has got people talking. Some think it's growing well, while others worry it might be in a bubble. Property prices are going up fast, and foreign money is coming in. People wonder if this growth can last or if things will go downhill. If you want to invest, you need to know what's going on. Let's see if Dubai's property market is in a bubble.

What Is a Real Estate Bubble?

A real estate bubble happens when property prices shoot up fast. This occurs due to many things like high demand or speculation. This growth can't last and ends in a sharp drop or crash. You can spot a bubble by looking for signs like:

Quick increases in price

Buying based on speculation

Buyers with too much debt

Too much supply

Let's look at whether these factors apply to Dubai's real estate market right now.

Main Concern About Dubai Real Estate

Concern 1: "Property Prices Are Going Up Too Fast—Can This Last?"

Yes, property prices in Dubai have been going up. In 2024 alone, prices went up by over 12%, with July property sales hitting AED 49.6 billion ($13.5 billion)—a 31.63% increase compared to July 2023. But this growth has support from strong basics like Dubai's growing economy, increasing population, and more foreign investment.

Dubai still costs less than big cities like London and New York. Here's a comparison:

Average Property Price per sq.ft: Dubai ($680) vs. London ($1,500)

Rental Yield: Dubai (7.5%) vs. London (3.5%)

Concern 2: "Is Speculation Pushing the Market Up—Could This Mean a Bubble?"

Speculation played a big part in Dubai's 2008 crash, but new rules have made speculative buying harder. Things like mortgage limits and bigger down payments have made it tough for short-term investors to flood the market.

A UBS report from 2023 gave Dubai a low bubble risk score compared to cities like Toronto and Frankfurt. Dubai scored 0.14 on the index (scores above 1.5 show bubble risk) pointing to a healthier and more sustainable market.

Concern 3: "The Market Has Too Many Luxury Properties—Is Supply Too High?"

Dubai has many luxury developments, but this doesn't mean the market has too much supply. Rich people from Europe, Asia, and Africa see Dubai as a safe place to invest. In fact foreign buyers put $4.4 billion into Dubai's housing market in 2024—76% more than in 2023.

What's more, mid-tier and affordable segments have an impact on significant growth. For instance:

Transactions in the AED1,000-AED 2,000 per sq.ft range had an increase of 64.1%.

Luxury properties priced above AED8,000 per sq.ft made up just 0.2% of total transactions in May 2024.

This diversification across price segments ensures a balanced market.

Concern 4: "Does Debt-Fueled Growth Drive the Boom?"

Dubai's growth now doesn't rely much on debt. Developers use more equity financing instead of loans, which cuts down risks from credit market changes. Stricter rules for lending and lessons from the 2008 crash have led to more careful practices.

Concern 5: "Will Higher Interest Rates Crash the Market?"

Dubai's real estate deals involve cash, unlike many global markets. In Q3 2023, cash buyers made up twice as many deals as mortgage buyers (16,485 cash deals vs. 8,238 mortgage deals). This means higher interest rates don't affect the market as much.

Concern 6: "Does Foreign Investment Have Two Sides?"

Foreign investment has a major impact on Dubai real estate market but doesn't make it too dependent or at risk. Rules like long-term visas for people who buy property have made Dubai more appealing worldwide. Also high rental returns (7-8%) keep international buyers interested.

Concern 7: "Can Dubai's Economy Support Its Real Estate Growth?"

Dubai's economy has branched out a lot over time:

Real estate adds just 7.3% to GDP.

Other booming areas include transportation (13.4%), finance (13.1%), and trade (22.9%).

This variety cuts down reliance on just real estate and backs lasting growth.

Concern 8: "What Happens During a Global Recession?"

No market can avoid recessions, but Dubai's tax-free setup and reputation as a safe spot make it tough during worldwide economic slumps. Many investors see Dubai real estate as a solid asset when times are uncertain.

Concern 9: "Are Government Regulations Effective?"

Dubai has put in place tight rules to stop speculative bubbles:

Limits on mortgage lending

Taxes on quick property sales

Required escrow accounts for developers

These steps boost openness and long-term stability.

Concern 10: "Is Oversupply Still a Problem?"

Supply issues worried people before, but adjusting project schedules and more people needing homes fixed this problem. Experts predict Dubai will have 5.2 million residents by 2030, which means people will keep wanting houses.

The Strong Points of Dubai Real Estate

If you want to invest in Dubai property, consider these key benefits:

High Rental Yields: Average yields of 7-8% much higher than cities like London or New York.

Tax-Free Environment: No property or capital gains tax boosts returns.

Pro-Growth Policies: Long-term visas and business-friendly rules attract investors.

Safe Haven Status: Stability and security make Dubai a top investment spot.

World-Class Infrastructure: Projects like Expo City and Master Plan 2040 increase appeal.

Conclusion: Is Dubai Real Estate in a Bubble?

Looking at the latest numbers and patterns, Dubai's property market isn't in a bubble. Unlike the risky boom we saw before, today's growth has its roots in solid basics, government watchfulness, and varied demand.

As someone putting money in, keep your eyes on chances that'll pay off down the road instead of ups and downs right now. Spread your money across different types of properties, take advantage of high rent returns, and keep up with what's happening around the world. With its changing economy and strong market basics, Dubai is still one of the top spots in the world to invest your money.

A Beginner’s Guide to Buy Real Estate in Dubai

Dubai is known for its luxurious lifestyle, modern infrastructure, and a booming real estate market that attracts investors from all around the world. Whether you're looking for a new home or an investment opportunity, to buy real estate in Dubai can be a rewarding experience. However, if you're a first-time buyer, the process may seem daunting. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about finding the right property to buy in Dubai and how to make a smart investment.

Why Buy Real Estate in Dubai?

Before diving into the process, it's essential to understand why buying property in Dubai is a great idea. Here are some compelling reasons:

Tax-Free Environment: One of the main attractions for foreign investors is Dubai's tax-free policy on property transactions, meaning no capital gains or property tax.

High Return on Investment (ROI): The properties in Dubai often offer high rental yields compared to other global cities like New York or London.

World-Class Infrastructure: Dubai is home to cutting-edge skyscrapers, luxury shopping malls, and top-notch residential communities, making it a desirable place to live or invest.

Long-Term Residency: Dubai now offers property buyers long-term residency visas, further enhancing its appeal to international investors.

Step 1: Decide on Your Budget

The first and most important step when considering Dubai property for sale is determining your budget. Dubai's real estate market offers properties across a wide price range, from luxury villas to affordable apartments. It’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your financial limits before you start looking.

Some tips:

Make sure to factor in all extra expenses, including agency commissions, registration fees, and maintenance fees, in your budget.

Financing options are available, but it's essential to consult a real estate agency in Dubai or a financial advisor to get a clear picture of your mortgage eligibility.

Step 2: Research the Best Areas to Buy Property

Dubai is divided into several districts, each with its unique charm, amenities, and property types. Whether you're looking for a lavish villa or a high-rise apartment, you need to decide which area suits your lifestyle and investment goals. Some popular areas include:

Downtown Dubai: Home to iconic landmarks like Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, this is a prime area for luxury properties.

Dubai Marina: Known for its waterfront views, Dubai Marina is a favorite for those seeking modern apartments and a vibrant community.

Palm Jumeirah: One of the world's most famous man-made islands, Palm Jumeirah offers high-end villas and beachfront living.

Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC): A more affordable option, JVC is popular with families and offers a range of villas and apartments at competitive prices.

To find property in Dubai that fits your needs, research these areas thoroughly or consult with a local expert.

Step 3: Work with a Reliable Real Estate Agency

Attempting to navigate the Dubai real estate market by yourself can be rather daunting. This is where a real estate agency in Dubai comes in. Working with a trustworthy agency can make the process of buying property seamless. They will assist you in:

Understanding the local market.

Shortlisting properties based on your preferences.

Ensuring that all paperwork is in order.

Tesla Properties is one of the top real estate companies in Dubai that really stands out. Known for its personalized service, Tesla Properties has a reputation for helping both first-time buyers and seasoned investors find the best deals in Dubai’s dynamic property market. Whether you're looking for a luxury penthouse or an investment apartment, their team offers extensive market knowledge and unmatched customer service.

Step 4: Understand Legal Requirements

The legal framework for buying property in Dubai is straightforward but involves specific regulations that must be followed:

Eligibility: Foreigners are allowed to buy property in designated freehold areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Marina.

Legal Documents: You will need to present a valid passport, and if you are securing financing, your mortgage pre-approval documents.

Sales Agreement: Once you've chosen a property, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed between the buyer and seller. The buyer then pays a 10% deposit to secure the deal.

Transfer of Ownership: The final step is the transfer of ownership at the Dubai Land Department (DLD). This is where you will officially become the owner of the property.

An experienced real estate agency in Dubai, like Tesla Properties, will guide you through these steps and ensure that you meet all legal requirements.

Step 5: Secure Financing (If Necessary)

If you need financing to purchase your property, Dubai offers a variety of mortgage options for both residents and non-residents. However, it is crucial to:

Check your eligibility for a mortgage before committing to a property.

Compare interest rates and repayment terms from various lenders.

Consider working with a real estate agency to find the best financing options tailored to your needs.

Step 6: Consider the Additional Costs

When budgeting for your property to buy in Dubai, remember to account for additional expenses, including:

Transfer fees: Usually paid to the Dubai Land Department in the amount of 4% of the property's value.

Real estate agent commission: Generally 2% of the property’s sale price.

Maintenance and service charges: These may vary according to the area and kind of property.

It's critical to account for these extra expenses in your total budget because they might mount up.

Step 7: Close the Deal

Once you've completed all the necessary steps, it’s time to finalize the purchase and become a proud owner of a Dubai real estate property. At this point, you will pay the remaining balance and receive the title deed in your name.

Working with Tesla Properties can make this process smooth, as their team will assist you from the moment you start your property search until the day you collect the keys.
