Shivanand Hebbar opines that perfumes are very important both for men and women as they are related to one’s lifestyle and play a quintessential role in enhancing the personality of a person. Hebbar says the only caution people need to exercise while choosing a perfume is that it should suit the personality and the occasion. “For men it is advisable to go for good fragrances which are manly, seductive and the one that lasts long. Women, on the other hand should opt for fragrances ranging from floral to fruit. Ultimately it is the heady combination of beauty with fragrance which is going to make a good personality and create an everlasting impact”, Hebbar contends.
Hebbar is also of the view that French fragrances are becoming more and more popular as the customers are always on the lookout for new fragrances which are elegant and stylish. The company’s products are for both local consumption and also for exports. The company has been able to have a stranglehold in the market due to the unmatched quality of its products, new launches to keep abreast of the changing times and also the awareness it has created to find a niche market.
Hebbar feels that the perfume market is very positive, becoming more competitive and innovative which augurs well for the company as well as its trusted clientele. In a world where change is the only thing which is constant, newer products will provide newer challenges for the company and more choices for the people to choose from. That would be a surefire way of making the fragrance last longer.
