Try Free Demo API DocumentationNocibé has grown to become one of France's leading beauty retailers since its founding in 1984, operating over six hundred stores across the country. Now part of the Douglas Group, Europe's largest beauty retailer, Nocibé combines French beauty expertise with pan-European retail capabilities to serve millions of beauty-conscious French consumers through both physical stores and a comprehensive e-commerce platform.
The Nocibé categorization system balances French beauty tradition with modern retail efficiency. Products are organized across major verticals including Parfum (fragrance for women, men, and unisex), Maquillage (makeup with detailed subcategories for face, eyes, lips, and nails), Soin Visage (facial skincare organized by concern and skin type), Soin Corps (body care including bath products), Cheveux (haircare), and Accessoires. Each category branches into specific subcategories that enable both browse-based discovery and targeted search navigation.
What distinguishes Nocibé's taxonomy is its balance between prestige and accessible beauty. While maintaining strong luxury brand partnerships, Nocibé also embraces emerging brands, pharmacy favorites, and value-oriented options. Products must be categorized not only by type but also by positioning tier, enabling proper placement within Nocibé's democratic beauty approach that serves everyone from luxury seekers to budget-conscious shoppers looking for effective products.
Nocibé places particular emphasis on its loyalty program and promotional mechanics. The Nocibé Card drives significant customer retention, and products must be categorized correctly to appear in loyalty-exclusive promotions and personalized recommendations. Our API ensures categorization aligns with Nocibé's promotional calendar, including major events like their anniversary sales, beauty weeks, and seasonal campaigns that drive substantial traffic both online and in-store.
The integration with Douglas Group has brought enhanced digital capabilities and expanded brand portfolio to Nocibé. Products now need to be categorized with consideration for both local French shopping preferences and broader European retail standards. Our API handles these dual requirements, ensuring products are discoverable through French-specific search terms while maintaining compatibility with the broader Douglas retail ecosystem for brands selling across multiple European markets.

Optimize your beauty products for French retail success
Nocibé serves multiple market segments. Clearly communicate whether your brand is prestige, masstige, or mass-market. This affects category placement, promotional eligibility, and merchandising position both online and in-store.
For skincare products, specify skin type suitability (dry, oily, combination, sensitive) and primary concerns addressed (anti-aging, hydration, acne). Nocibé's skincare navigation relies heavily on these attributes for effective filtering.
Be aware of Nocibé's promotional calendar including beauty weeks, seasonal events, and loyalty promotions. Ensure categorization supports eligibility for these campaigns to maximize visibility during high-traffic periods.
Include size, format (cream, serum, oil, gel), and any variant information. Nocibé customers often search by specific formats, and this data enables accurate subcategorization and filter visibility.
While our API processes both French and English, French descriptions align better with Nocibé's native taxonomy and customer search patterns. Use proper French beauty terminology for optimal categorization results.
