Coty Inc. (COTY - Free Report) is undertaking robust innovations to drive growth. The company stated that it will introduce a digitally-enabled touch-less fragrance tester to be used at beauty retailers in the next 12 months. The testing of the device at brick & mortar retail stores across some European markets will start sometime in July. By the end of the year, Coty plans to try the device in Asian markets.
With the help of the new innovation, customers can accurately test fragrance in a less invasive manner. Coty’s new touch-less fragrance tester, developed in partnership with a French start-up — Everie — is a sustainable and easy-to-maintain device.
