LVMH’s Perfumes & Cosmetics organic revenue growth was 5% in the first quarter of 2013. Revenues for the unit were approximately $1.22 billion.

Christian Dior recorded further solid growth thanks to the vitality of its perfumes and, in particular, the continued strength of J’adore, Miss Dior and Dior Homme, the company said. Dior’s new lipstick, Dior Addict, and premium skin care Prestige also contributed to the brand’s growth.

Guerlain continued to benefit from the strong momentum of La Petite Robe Noire and the success of its high-end skincare Orchidée Impériale.

LVMH reported that Benefit and Fresh continued to strengthen their positions “thanks to their strongly innovative products.”
