The way of working in the perfume industry is being modified by new fashions. Although the enveloping and powerful aromas of intense formulas are still a claim, now consumers are beginning to demand other types of fragrances, focusing on the trend known as olfactory microdosing. It consists of applying and combining perfumes with light and subtle layers, to better adapt to new lifestyle habits, to the high temperatures of summer and thus find greater sensory comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Mixer & Pack, as experts in the design and manufacture of perfumes for third parties, we bring you this article in which we explain the rise of this trend, what types of fragrances it is bringing and what the future of the perfumery industry is after its arrival.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is olfactory microdosing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term microdosing is understood as the minimal but consistent use of a substance to achieve a positive effect. <\/strong>This trend taken to the world of perfumery and olfactory refers to the use of fragrances in smaller, controlled doses and fresher aromas, whose objective is to develop light perfumes that accompany the day to day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main difference between intense and powerful fragrances and those developed through olfactory microdosing is that, while the former only need one application for their aroma to last for many hours, the latter have less concentrated, low-intensity and high-freshness formulas, which allow consumers to reapply them without becoming saturated. These are easy-to-wear perfumes, suitable for work environments, hot days or active routines.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the perfume categories that are being most modified by this trend are: body mists, eaux fra\u00eeches, cologne sprays and aquatic or citrus fragrances.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfumes designed for summer and everyday life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heat, humidity and exposure to the sun modify the way in which the aromas of a fragrance evolve on the skin, therefore, in the hottest months (spring and summer), consumers opt for perfumes of lower density, fresher and lighter. Given this, olfactory microdosing is presented as the perfect option, since the fragrances that are developed through it meet the requirements of customers and allow their application several times a day, without overloading the senses. \r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, summer perfumes, which have soft floral, sparkling citrus, green and aquatic aromas, become the protagonists of this trend. Fragrances with notes of white tea, cucumber, basil, mint, lavender or soft musks, which convey freshness, cleanliness, serenity and contact with nature, have also become popular thanks to olfactory microdosing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another positive aspect of this trend is its clear adaptation to today’s lifestyle, where the duality of the hustle and bustle of the city coexists with moments of calm and constant activity with the sensory. Consumers are looking for formulas that integrate and adapt easily into their routine, therefore, light perfumes are no longer a light version of luxury and become a new form of sophistication.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layering: creating your own olfactory signature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olfactory microdosing has brought other new trends to the world of the perfumery industry. One of the most striking and popular is layering. It consists of combining different perfumes in different layers, to achieve a final aroma that is as personal as possible. In other words, the objective of this art is to develop fragrances that identify as much as possible with the personality of each consumer.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technique allows you to mix a base of clean notes with more floral, fruity or spicy touches, resulting in a unique and personal fragrance. Layering, in addition to enriching and enhancing the sensory experience of consumers, also allows them to build their own olfactory identity, which generates greater loyalty. With this trend, each person can discover which are the scents that best define them and materialize them, thus developing personalized fragrances, which are successful within the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new luxury: discretion, comfort and repetition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Within the world of perfumery and in society in general, it has always been thought that luxury was closely related to intensity. However, for some time now, elegance has also been expressed through discretion. For this reason, perfumes that are appreciated with proximity, that accompany but do not dominate and that refresh instead of cloying are increasingly in demand and valued.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, consumers, especially young people, are looking for fragrances that adapt to their rhythms of life and at the same time exude comfort and authenticity. While it’s okay to put perfume on once in the morning and have the scent last all day, that’s now changed. The gesture of perfume is no longer a one-off thing, but has become a more repetitive ritual that is done several times throughout the day without involving an effort.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers should feel good about their fragrances, without the need or demand for everyone around them to be impressed with their scent. Today’s new luxury in perfumery is quieter and is associated with light and discreet rather than intense and powerful. For this reason, at Mixer & Pack, we encourage companies to bet on the development of functional fragrances, with pleasant aromas, which have a low sensory impact but high emotional efficacy. \r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation in formulas and formats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rise of olfactory microdosing is also driving innovations in formats, to make perfumes easier to wear, faster to apply and more environmentally friendly. Some of the fragrances that are becoming more popular as a result of this trend are roll-on fragrances, ultra-fine mist sprays, scented wipes or solid sticks.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, it should be noted that thanks to olfactory microdosing, there is greater awareness and formulas are being modified to prioritise the use of ingredients of natural origin, with vegetable or alcohol-free alcohols, lighter bases and more sustainable packaging.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A passing fad? Rather a paradigm shift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the first instance, the term olfactory microdosing may sound like a one-off fashion; However, the facts show that this trend is becoming something long-term, which is modifying the way perfumes are consumed. Consumers no longer want to smell like everyone else, but are looking for different, fresh and light aromas that are far from the conventional. They want to be in control and adapt fragrances to their lives at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trend is here to stay. Not only is the degree of intensity of perfumes changing, but the way they are designed, developed and enjoyed is being transformed.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mixer & Pack, we work hand-in-hand with brands to help them adapt to this new olfactory trend. We offer tailor-made, innovative solutions in line with the needs of consumers.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about long lasting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today’s perfumery moves between seemingly opposite trends. While microdosing offers subtle and frequent applications, the concept of long lasting is gaining strength in response to a consumer who values the intensity and permanence of fragrances. It’s not just about smelling good in the moment, but about prolonging the sensory experience throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For brands, incorporating a long-lasting perfume means offering a clear added value: formulas that guarantee durability, consistency and a memorable olfactory footprint. A bet that connects with those who seek distinction and continuity in their fragrance, and that is consolidating itself as one of the great trends in the market.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the future smell light?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, olfactory microdosing stands as a trend that modifies the way we understand the perfumery industry. Thanks to it, consumers have the possibility to use perfumes without rules, moving away from the normative, to explore freshness in all its forms and to enjoy the aromas from a more subtle and fresh perspective.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mixer & Pack, we accompany brands during their journey towards a more everyday perfumery, light, versatile, fresh and emotional.
