L’Oréal has released its financial report for Q1, reporting sales of €11.73 billion (US$13.49 billion), an overall 4.4% sales growth, and 3.5% like-for-like growth. The company says fragrance and hair care were its fastest-growing categories, with Europe delivering robust growth. However, progress was reported to be the highest in emerging markets — particularly in Brazil, India, and Thailand.
