Puig (BME: PUIG) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Barcelona, Spain that owns 7 consumer brands, and has 6 recorded transactions.[1]
Puig was founded in Barcelona in 1914 by a Catalan perfumer and remains controlled by the third generation of the founding family, which retained voting control when the company listed in Madrid in 2024. It owns rather than licenses most of its fragrance houses, which is unusual in the industry.
Puig acquired a majority of Dr. Barbara Sturm, a German physician-founded skincare brand that grew out of an anti-inflammatory joint treatment adapted into a cosmetic protocol. It was the group's move into high-priced clinical skincare. Only the year is documented here.
Puig acquired a majority stake in Byredo, the Stockholm niche fragrance house founded in 2006 by a former professional basketball player with no training in perfumery. Reports valued the business near EUR 1 billion; the price was not disclosed.
Puig acquired a majority of Charlotte Tilbury, a British makeup brand built by a professional artist on selling finished looks rather than individual products. The price was not disclosed.
Puig took a majority of Jean Paul Gaultier, having produced the house's fragrances under licence since 1993. Its Le Male scent, in a bottle shaped like a sailor's torso, has been among the best-selling men's fragrances in Europe for three decades. Only the year is documented here.
Puig acquired Nina Ricci, a Paris house founded in 1932 by an Italian-born couturier working in France. Its L'Air du Temps fragrance, launched in 1948 with a Lalique dove stopper, has been in production ever since. Only the year is documented here.
Puig acquired the Carolina Herrera house, founded in New York in 1980 by a Venezuelan designer who had dressed Jacqueline Onassis. Puig had already been making its fragrances under licence, and buying the house outright is the pattern the Spanish family group has followed repeatedly. Only the year is documented here.
