Poland is the largest CEE fragrance consumer by absolute revenue and the most e-commerce-mature CEE market. It anchors regional fragrance distribution through Allegro and Notino.

Why are perfume prices lower in Poland than Western Europe?

Three reasons: (1) Polish median wages are 15 to 20% below Western European equivalents, so prestige brands set entry-tier pricing accordingly; (2) Poland's manufacturing role tilts the export price downward; (3) Polish VAT (23%) is among the higher EU rates, but margin compression in mass-market reduces effective shelf prices. Luxury fragrance pricing in Poland is closer to Western European parity than mass-market pricing.
