## Story

Boyne Capital has acquired a majority stake in YZY Fragrances, a 40-year-old company focused on accessibly priced fragrances. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but it involves providing partial liquidity to the founding family while remaining partnered with management.

Founded by Yehuda Shechter, YZY has been growing its distribution in the mass market through chains such as CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, and Nordstrom Rack. YZY carries over 500 licensed, private label, and proprietary fragrances.

Its prestige brand, Le Monde Gourmand, is present in Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Bloomingdale’s, and is expected to expand into new retailers. Le Monde Gourmand contains 100 fragrances that are clean, vegan, and cruelty-free. The price points for the brand range from $22 to $62.

Boyne Capital has been eyeing the beauty and personal care industry for quite some time, with specific interest in the fragrance category. This acquisition gives the private equity firm a significant foothold in the fragrance space, signaling confidence in YZY’s market position and growth potential.

The partnership with Boyne Capital is anticipated to accelerate YZY Fragrances’ expansion plans, both in terms of retail distribution and product development. The focus will remain on delivering quality fragrances at accessible price points, while also nurturing the growth of its prestige offerings.
