Givaudan, the global leader in Fragrance & Beauty, today announced its intention to acquire Belle Aire Creations, a prominent US-based fragrance house known for its creative expertise and strong regional customer relationships. 

Gilles Andrier, CEO of Givaudan, said,

“The acquisition of Belle Aire Creations represents an exciting milestone for Givaudan as we continue our journey to deliver long-term sustainable growth. Their strong customer partnerships and entrepreneurial spirit align perfectly with our vision and values.”

Belle Aire Creations was founded by three Illinois entrepreneurs – Don Conover Sr., a seasoned expert in perfumery, and brothers Richard and Charles David – who shared a vision to make high-quality fragrance development more agile. 

The transaction is aligned with Givaudan’s 2030 strategy to extend its customer reach with local and regional customers.

By establishing the company in the heart of the Midwest, they created a central hub that could efficiently serve a broad and diverse range of customers across the country.

Stacey David, CEO of Belle Aire Creations, commented,

“This is a transformative moment for Belle Aire Creations. With shared values, complementary strengths, and a united vision, we’re not just building on our legacy – we’re creating something truly extraordinary. Together, we’ll amplify our impact, bring even greater creativity to our customers, and expand the opportunities we deliver as we shape the future of fragrance.”

Since its founding in 1982, Belle Aire Creations has been fueled by creativity, passion, and an unwavering drive for excellence. From its entrepreneurial beginnings to its current industry leadership, the company has remained a beacon of innovation and growth – always guided by the belief that true success is measured by customer satisfaction.

Belle Aire Creations has made bold investments in talent, technology, and resources, evolving into a driving force in the fragrance industry. 

This unwavering commitment to people and progress has fueled the company’s expansion, elevated its reputation, and reinforced its position as a trusted partner to customers across North America.

Terms have not been disclosed; however, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
