Parfums Christian Dior performed remarkably well, strengthening its leadership in all its key markets. Sauvage confirmed its position as the world's leading perfume and the iconic women's fragrances J'adore and Miss Dior saw continued success. Makeup also contributed to the Maison’s very good results. Guerlain continued to grow, driven notably by the vitality of its Abeille Royale skincare, its Aqua Allegoria collection and its Parfumerie l’Art et la Matière. Parfums Givenchy benefited from the success of its L’Interdit perfume. Maison Francis Kurkdjian collaborated with the Château de Versailles as part of its patronage supporting the creation of a Jardin du parfumeur.
