Catrice

Catrice is a German color cosmetics brand launched in 2004 by Christina Oster-Daum under the umbrella of cosnova GmbH, a company based in Sulzbach am Taunus near Frankfurt am Main. From the outset, the brand has focused on decorative makeup products that are accessible in price yet aligned with mainstream beauty trends, distributing primarily through drugstores such as dm, Rossmann and Müller in Germany and expanding to more than 80 international markets.

While Catrice is best known for makeup, the brand also offers a small portfolio of fragrances that share its broader positioning: affordable, easy to wear and geared toward everyday use rather than niche experimentation. The fragrance line sits alongside mascaras, foundations, lipsticks, eyeshadows and nail polishes, giving consumers the option to complement their makeup look with coordinating scents at similar price points.

Because Catrice fragrances are an extension of a drugstore makeup label rather than a dedicated perfume house, the compositions tend to favor familiar, crowd-pleasing accords over challenging or conceptual structures. This makes the brand particularly relevant for consumers who want straightforward, budget-friendly scents that match the accessible, trend-aware ethos of its cosmetics range.
