BARRIO

BARRIO is a Chinese niche salon-fragrance brand launched in 2017. Its name is the Spanish word for “neighborhood” and was inspired by the Spanish film Barrio. Founder Cao Huixing established the brand after deciding in 2016 to focus her family’s fragrance supply-chain business on fragrance and develop a proprietary brand. Incubated by Yufan Group, whose fragrance and cosmetics business dates to 1983, BARRIO uses fragrance to evoke emotion, self-comfort, connection, and imagined journeys into unknown places; its signature scents begin with a color and a feeling. The brand is especially associated with its Petite 10ml “sheepskin” fragrance line, which sold 600,000 units in its launch year. In 2020, BARRIO received the CBE Best Perfume Award for its Petite 10ml perfume and the Golden Goods Award for its Petite solid perfume.
