Competitive Landscape

Angelini Divestment and L’Oréal–Armani Speculation Signal Evolving Alliances
The most significant structural development in 2025 was Angelini Industries’ binding agreement to sell AB Parfums, its former Angelini Beauty business, to Give Back Beauty. AB Parfums is established as a dedicated business unit within Give Back Beauty for European lifestyle and prestige fragrance brands, consolidating names such as Trussardi and Laura Biagiotti alongside the continued distribution of key designer licences across Italy and other European markets.
