EUROPE

A B O U T /////////////////// HISTORY

Historically, southern European countries lit their homes with oil lamps till the 20 th century while northern European countries (Scandinavia , Germany, Netherlands) used candles. In the Mediterranean countries candle usage was reserved to church. This explains why the French market still lags behind ; usage have changed recently and France is now also following the global trend of decorative and therapeutic usage of candles at home. In Germany lighting candles has always been part of every day life and culture. Christmas trees are still lit with real burning candles. Each year, on the 11 th of November the Saint Martin fest takes place ; red and violet candles are lit in the streets. This fest has always been the signal of the entry in the long winter, the dark nights and the human hopes for warmth and sun return.

Penetration rate is 60% among French households in 2010.

40% of the volume of the total market is done by perfumed candles. 20% of the sales are performed in FDM.

The rest flows through specialized channels : decoration shops, department stores and retail branded shops. In FDM channel the major brands are : SC Johnson, the strong leader followed by Benckiser ; Procter and Gamble the third player has recently introduced perfumed candles on the market ; its marketing manager explained that the development of this segment stronger than their traditional businesses made it appealing for the company. Copyright  2011 Sozio, Inc. What ever the channel and the type of customers vanilla remains the top selling fragrance.

Top sellers of Body shop in France are : Vanilla, jasmine & frangipane, mandarin & tangelo. One of the characteristics of the French market lies in its number of independent labels, luxury companies that are famous and big sellers ; this is probably to be linked to the tradition of luxury fine fragrances in France. www.jesozio.com

The major luxury brands : “Dyptique”, # 1 in France and # 3 in UK.Its fragrances “Figuier”( fig tree),“Feu de bois”(wood fire)and“Baies”(blackcurrant/ross) are big hits in France, Germany and the UK. “Cire Trudon” historical French house has just opened in store in London in December 2011.

MARKET

Point à la Ligne The candles market follows the trend of the fine fragrance market. Next to the big names and big sellers emerge numerous niche brands ; each of them is based on a specific concept, a charismatic “nose” and the will to propose creative fragrances away from the crowd.

Examples : Aster de Villatte / Honoré des prés / Francis Kurkdjian / Juliette has a gun… / The Scandinavian Brand BYREDO is also highly praised.

A L L GERMANY A B O U T /////////////////// MARKET

The German market is characterized by a consumption which is the double of the other 2 markets.

When asked what is their preferred buy for the home candles is quoted by the respondents at 40% just behind flowers (42%) and before table decoration 24% Lots of the sales are done through the FDM channels ; that is why the medium price is much lower than the medium price of the 2 other markets. In the market coexist the massive seller Ikea with tea lights (2,50 Euros the 24) and some famous producers. German do not praise brands ; the consumers who look for quality do not rely on brands ; they focus on the producer, the origin (made in Germany still means something there compare to the massive imports from Poland or China).

As expert their criteria of choice will be based on the components (oil/wax …) the length of burning time, the dyeing technic, the fragrances origin (natural or not).

The content, the presentation also count ; that is what you see in your home but outside box, or brands do not matter. That is why German people favor very decorative candles presented in special shapes : tower figurine, golf balls, horse heads, flower shapes...

Traditionally best selling fragrances in spring are vanilla and citrus, in summer rose, lavender, and flowers , in autumn woody fragrances and in winter time cinnamon, pine cone, and fire place ambiance.

Different trends coexist and can be mixed :

Functionality and technology

Atmosphere, organic and green

Clean fresh and pure ; the new morality

Authenticity and nature - Lost paradise - Small indulgence - Singularity and sensations

Seasonal

Outside world is not so friendly ; economical crisis, forced social changes, global warming and pollution generate fear and anguish. Future is no more inviting.

Home is the refuge where to resource and stop ; take time, relax and seek a truce from our busy and hectic life, from intrusive elements (work, phones, technology...) Interior fragrances have a particular role to play : They help to close the door to the outside world ; they prevent the invasion of pollution, bad air.

TRENDS

They favor relaxation and well being ; they help to escape from every day life and provide some exoticism. They offer rituals with different steps and familiar gestures that bring serenity and change of mood.

The choice of fragrances of candle is also a way to express one ‘s intention : unwind, look for sleep, create an ambiance for a party… They are the signs of exceptionality or proximity.

They make the home more personal, more welcoming and refined.

Esteban, “100% Natural” Hervé Gambs, “Herbe intense” Honoré des Prés, bio fragrance “Green” 3.

We share the home with family guests and pets. There is a growing concern among people of the dangers of paraffin candles, of their chemical components and fragrances. Strong demand for “bio candles”, “natural wax”, ”soybean”, “natural fragrances” is expressed in Germany ; the green is already a mature trend there ; in France and in the Uk it is slowly growing. General speeches are conveyed that emissions of burning candles are toxic ; they are dangerous and carcinogens. Expected perfumes are from natural extracts, naturals oils.

At the same time scented products are supposed to generate allergy, harm sensitive people ; they are a danger for health and especially people who suffer from respiratory difficulties. It usually leads people to imagine a type of “one flower” scent ; and from a recognizable flower or plant. Powerful green, energetic citrus, cologne and fresh fragrances are in the mood of that trend.

As opposed to the gloomy outside world, home has to be a preserved safe clean and pure place.

Hygien is the sign of a clean home but also reflects a clean and clear mind ; there is a demand for transparency, a new clarity as if a new morality was expected to express the change of world people aspire to.

At our level a bright light illuminating clean sheets, fresh linen, transparent fabrics act as if a new virginity would envelopp us ; and make us new and candid. It brings evocations of airy atmosphere, fresh wind, early morning dew.

Light florals, green notes cologne, fresh fruits (watermelon…)

Active trend for those who love nature and its elements : water, stone, metal, wood, herbs.

There is no nostalgia of an untouched perfect nature nor the aspiration to escape from modernity but those adopters aim at the perfect mix of craftsmanship and men’ intelligence ; when human know- how transcend natural elements.

A smart communion between human ability to take the best out of nature and transform it into something artistic.

Some Asian influence, something of Japanese art of living is involved. Main drivers are aesthetics, purity, minimalism, balance with some roughness and strength.

Woody scents : Pine , oak, birch, lime tree and cedar with exotic newcomers : teak, oud, eucalyptus. Earthy notes : moss, fern, amber Noble material : leather. And exotic evocations like green tea, wasabi, bamboo, peppe Copyright  2011 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com

Our best kept secret may lay in our past. Our nostalgia of a cherished childhood is strong ; when we had less responsibilities, less concerns.

Flavors of “French goûters/snacks” back from school or cakes baked on Sunday transport us back to times when homework was the only pressure.

What is more anchored in our memories than cooking scents ?

These fragrances evoking family gatherings, homemade cooking bring back joyful memories. And leave us with comfort and feelings of well being.

Evocations will be strongly depending on cultures : Cooking book bring all the palette of possibilities.

Among the 3 countries global classics remain vanilla n ° 1 everywhere, apple , chocolate, cinnamon, red fruits.

When the working day is over and we come home, we incline to unwind, benefit from our private time.

That is the moment to reward one- self with some affordable luxury.

Sophisticated fragrances would underline the luxury feeling.

Sensual notes, reassuring powdery scents :

Musk, amber, patchouli, floriental mix : tubereuse, gardenia, violet … These mini-luxuries and minor indulgences reduce our stress and lower our anxiety levels. They don’t solve anything, but they make us feel pampered and a little bit rich for a brief, but refreshing moment.

Lets offer a little gift to ourselves that makes us important and special.

Long evenings at home are the best moment to enjoy a warm welcoming home. Velvet fabrics, deep and rich colors, wonderful scents are part of decorating and feeling of well-being. Many brands benefit of the season to release special items to enjoy one-self or offer as gift. This trend is growing in France but widely spread in Germany and the UK .

Despite the trend of modern defined stylish xmas (in 2011 fashion was” white Christmas”) brands have launched new fragrances on traditional directions, as if our sense of odor was more conservative than us ; as if we had to remember the good old scents of former cherished moments .

Good memories of indulgent food, cookies and fruits : fig, cherry, orange, cinnamon and spices. Warmth of wood fire, or the scent of the xmas tree (pine...) or hike in a pine forest.
