At its heart, jasmine, earthy oakmoss, and a bold latex accord unfold, then settle into a warm, sophisticated base featuring sandalwood and suede. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 56% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Solvent-free Fragrances:** The emergence of solvent-free fragrances like Ex Latex offers a new avenue for environmentally conscious scent production. - **Water-based Scent Technology:** Introducing WPE (Water Plant Emulsion) technology suggests a shift toward innovative methods for scent longevity without traditional carriers. - **Natural Synthesis Notes:** The diverse blend of floral, leathery, and powdery notes crafted with natural synthesis introduces a fresh olfactory experience. ### Where This Applies - **Fragrance Industry:** Incorporating novel technologies like WPE could redefine fragrance formulation, setting new standards within the perfume sector. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Revolutionizing product formulations to exclude alcohol and solvents aligns with the growing demand for skin- and hair-friendly beauty solutions. - **Environmental Sustainability:** The development of eco-conscious fragrances aligns with broader sustainability goals and offers new avenues in green chemistry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seaweed-Infused Fragrance Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-louis-marie-hair-and-body-mists.md) - [Luxurious Solid Perfume Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-perfume1.md) - [Guava-Inspired Fragrance Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrance-mist-line.md) - [Smoky Hair Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiza-scent-storm.md) - [Carbonated Skincare Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbonated-foam.md) - [Shine-Enhancing Hair Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-h-hair-perfume.md) - [Radiant Celeb-Backed Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternal-roots-parfum.md) - [Collaborative Scentable Wristlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scentable-wristlet.md) - [Woody Alcohol-Free Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternal-roots.md)
