Our strength lies in Make-up, led by NARS, the No. 8 brand in the UK market with global success. Skincare is a key expansion focus, with significant growth potential in the UK & Ireland, including the launches of Clé de Peau Beauté in Harrods and H-Beauty, and the addition of Drunk Elephant in 2021. In 2023, we plan to launch ULE, a skincare brand emphasizing sustainability, and expand Gallinée, acquired in 2022, focused on skin microbiome.

We are also expanding rapidly in fragrance with brands such as Issey Miyake, Narciso Rodriguez, Tory Burch, Zadig & Voltaire, and Serge Lutens.

Our clients include high-street retailers, department stores, drugstores, online pure players, and specialty stores. We operate four boutiques and three e-commerce websites.
