Investing in Fragrance: While Many Brands Scramble Overseas, We’re Manufacturing in the USA

As overseas supply chains buckle under geopolitical pressure, our latest acquisition brings fragrance manufacturing back to the U.S.

Last month, BeautyMatter reported that the Middle East conflict is disrupting ingredient supply chains, delaying launches, and driving up costs for brands dependent on overseas sourcing.

It’s a real pressure point, and one we’re already structurally positioned to avoid thanks to our newly acquired fragrance manufacturing capabilities.

Last month, we also announced the acquisition of Great American Beauty (GAB) and its subsidiary, Palm Beach Beauté, which will add over $30 million in revenue to our firm. One of the immediate priorities: redirecting GAB’s production to domestic manufacturing, reducing overseas inventory dependency, and vastly improving speed to market.

In fragrance, speed to market is everything, especially since olfactive trends have a narrow window. A U.S.-based production capability means we can move when a trend is happening, not after it peaks—unlocking opportunities that simply aren’t available to brands still dependent on overseas timelines.

The fragrance category is growing, and the brands built on resilient, domestic infrastructure are the ones better positioned to grow even with today’s volatility—not despite it.
