Connecting fragrance creation, innovation, and commerce, the destination offers three days of business, with a ticketed discovery program welcoming fragrance enthusiasts and content creators on day three.
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2026 / Cosmoprof North America today announced The Fragrance Experience, a single destination bringing together the entire fragrance ecosystem, from creation to market. Debuting at the fourth edition of Cosmoprof North America Miami, January 26-28, 2027, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, it brings together fragrance houses and ingredient suppliers, packaging and manufacturing partners, brands, distributors, and retailers at a strategic gateway to buyers across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Miami adds to the opportunity. A multicultural, fragrance-engaged market and the center of South Florida’s luxury, travel, and hospitality scene, the city gives fragrance companies a launchpad for U.S. growth and cross-border expansion across the Americas.
Professional meetings and business development will occur throughout all three days. On Thursday, January 28, a limited, ticketed audience of fragrance enthusiasts and content creators will also be welcomed, adding opportunities for product discovery, storytelling, and direct engagement.
Where Scent Discovery Meets Business
Fragrance remains one of beauty’s most dynamic categories, fueled by premiumization, emerging brands, personalization and growing consumer interest in scent discovery. According to Circana, the U.S. fragrance market continues to thrive across all tiers. Prestige fragrance dollar sales rose by 5% in 2025 and 6% in the first half of 2026, fueled by premiumization and higher concentrations. Mass fragrance grew 15% in both periods, with increases in both revenue and units sold.
That growth increasingly starts with discovery. Social media may introduce consumers to new fragrances, but they still need to experience scent in person. Set within a dedicated ballroom at the Miami Beach Convention Center, The Fragrance Experience pairs an immersive setting for scent discovery with opportunities to build business relationships across the fragrance value chain
“Fragrance must be experienced, and bringing it to market takes expertise across an entire industry,” said Liza Rapay, Vice President, Head of Cosmoprof North America. “The Fragrance Experience connects the people who create scent with those who develop products, build brands, and bring them to consumers. It gives those connections a place to become new business opportunities, with enthusiasts and content creators adding another dimension on day three.”
Connecting the Fragrance Ecosystem
The Fragrance Experience is designed to bring together the entire fragrance value chain, featuring:
- Those who create: fragrance houses and ingredient suppliers
- Those who build: packaging and contract manufacturers, filling and machinery providers, testing and regulatory partners
- Those who bring it to market: fine, home and wellness fragrance brands, distributors, retailers and international sales partners
- Those who advance the category: technology providers and companies exploring scent through wellness, hospitality and education
- Those who influence: content creators, fragrance reviewers and media shaping how scent is discovered and discussed
Notable buyers who attended Cosmoprof North America Miami in 2026 included Amazon, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Nykaa, QVC, Sephora, Target, Ulta, and Walgreens, along with partners and associations like DSM-Firmenich, Givaudan, and the Fragrance Creators Association.
Day Three: A Discovery Experience for Fragrance Enthusiasts

Professional meetings and business development will continue throughout all three days, with the additional audience creating opportunities for meaningful engagement.
