​​From the Treasure chest...

A bull market in deodorant: Workers returning to the office and socializing after pandemic lockdowns helped lead to a 15% surge in sales of deodorants, according to the maker of Dove, Rexona and Impulse. Unilever said the shift away from home working and expansion in Latin America had helped offset heavy competition from expensive new brands in the US such as Native and Dr Squatch. Graeme Pitkethly, the group’s finance director, said: “Many people didn’t use deodorant as much when they were in lockdown and working from home and some recovery in that is coming through.”The recovery in deodorant sales helped Unilever’s personal care division outperform the rest of its product categories in Europe making it the only one to increase the amount of items sold.

Have a great week!
