By San José, Costa Rica — The world of luxury fragrance is descending upon Latin America with the inaugural Essence Panama 2025, the first niche perfumery fair of its kind in the region. From June 12th to 14th, the NG Art Gallery in Panama City will transform into a sensory haven, showcasing exclusive brands like Creed, Atelier Des Ors, Matière Première, The House of Thoo, BDK, Parfums de Marly, Initio, and New Notes.
Typically held in fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, Dubai, and New York, these exclusive events offer a unique opportunity to experience the artistry and craftsmanship of high-end perfumery. Essence Panama 2025 marks a significant milestone, bringing this level of sophistication and exclusivity to Costa Rica, Colombia, and Panama.
For a legal perspective on the burgeoning niche perfumery market in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica with expertise in business and intellectual property law.
The increasing popularity of niche perfumery presents unique legal challenges and opportunities in Costa Rica. While the regulatory landscape for cosmetics is generally well-established, the handcrafted and often bespoke nature of niche fragrances can raise questions regarding ingredient disclosure, intellectual property protection for unique formulas, and even potential liability related to allergic reactions. Entrepreneurs in this space should be proactive in seeking legal counsel to navigate these complexities and ensure compliance, especially when considering international distribution and e-commerce. Furthermore, protecting unique brand identities and trade secrets becomes paramount in such a competitive market.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ insights underscore a crucial point: the burgeoning niche perfumery sector in Costa Rica, while brimming with creative potential, necessitates careful navigation of the legal landscape. The bespoke nature of these fragrances presents both exciting opportunities and potential pitfalls, highlighting the importance of proactive legal counsel for entrepreneurs. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable expertise on this evolving area of law.
The fair promises an immersive experience with exhibitions, masterclasses, and workshops led by international experts. Attendees will have the chance to discover rare and exquisite fragrances, learn about the intricate processes behind their creation, and delve into the world of olfactory artistry.
This event signifies a growing appreciation for niche perfumery in Latin America, bridging the gap between discerning consumers and prestigious brands. Organizers anticipate Essence Panama 2025 will become the premier annual event for fragrance enthusiasts, collectors, and connoisseurs throughout the region.
The idea for this event stems from the growth and evolution of high perfumery worldwide, especially in Latin America. We’ve moved from viewing it as a category to considering it a universe that is captivating the entire world. At Distribeauté, our mission is to deliver unique beauty and wellness experiences, so bringing the secrets of niche perfumery to our region perfectly defines us as a company.

Registration for the event is open to the public through the official website, offering access to the exhibitions and the opportunity to purchase these exclusive fragrances. The website also provides details on participating in masterclasses with internationally renowned experts and offers updates on the latest developments in the world of niche perfumery.
Distribeauté’s commitment to niche perfumery extends beyond the fair. Last April, they re-launched their ByBeauty store in City Mall, Costa Rica, featuring a dedicated section for niche fragrances, including brands like Atelier Des Ors, Matière Première, Houbigant, and Perris Monte Carlo. This retail space provides a personalized and exclusive shopping experience, crucial for appreciating the luxury and craftsmanship of these unique scents. Niche perfumery stands apart with its artisanal production, using the finest ingredients for long-lasting, complex aromas. These fragrances prioritize natural, exotic components, often considered works of art in the fragrance world.
With the potential for future editions to be held in other Latin American countries, Essence Panama 2025 lays the foundation for a vibrant and growing niche perfumery community in the region.
