The Hong Kong Perfumery Association believes, when mentioning the future of second-tier cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Ho Chi Minh City will still be dominated by the pursuit of dupe fragrances.

However, economically developed cities such as Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Shenzhen, the abundance in economic and culture will breed the customers’ pursuit of niche fragrance. They will look for something more than just perfumes, but also seek to appreciate the inner values of perfumers and brands. This extra emotional value of perfume shapes the new future.
