The case is about an SME in the luxury perfume sector.
Its founder, an insider in the sector, created it after seeing that the sector was finding it increasingly difficult to offer atypical and original designer perfumes, and that a certain number of consumers were growing frustrated. This observation led him to create his own company and devise a different business model.
The case comprises two parts, which can be addressed successively or separately. The first part leads students to carefully analyze the perfumery sector and the causes of these problems, and then to identify business opportunities to offer a range of products that guarantees a high level of creativity. The second part describes the business model of the company, its operation, positioning and offer and raises the issues of business development.
