L'Oreal Agrees To Buy Atelier Cologne

L'Oreal said it has agreed to acquire Atelier Cologne. Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel launched Atelier Cologne in 2009 and now will see their company join L'Oreal's lineup of brands. Available in more than 800 retail locations, including the most prestigious stores and perfumeries in 40 countries, and online, the brand has six stand-alone stores, with three in France, two in the US, and one in Hong Kong. Atelier Cologne develops and manufactures Colognes Absolues, which are genuine pure perfumes blending citrus notes with the finest natural raw materials, the company said.
