PARTNERS GROUP takes majority stake in AROMA-ZONE

FRANCE Consumer Products / Personal & Household / Hygiene & Beauty Brands EV 1b - 4b EUR

Context

Partners Group acquires a majority stake in Aroma-Zone, a French natural cosmetics brand, from Eurazeo in a secondary LBO. The transaction, announced in August 2026 and subject to customary regulatory approvals, marks Eurazeo's partial exit after five years of partnership. The strategic logic rests on continuity and acceleration of development. Partners Group, already familiar with the dossier through its participation in the 2021 debt financing, now intervenes in equity with the ambition to support Aroma-Zone's next growth phase. Eurazeo retains a significant minority stake via Eurazeo Capital V, alongside the founding Vausselin family and management, reflecting shared confidence in long-term prospects. This transaction aims to accelerate Aroma-Zone's international deployment (Italy, other European markets), boost product innovation (70 new references launched in the past year), and strengthen the omnichannel platform. The structure includes a TLB (Term Loan B) of approximately 600 million euros and generates around 576 million euros in gross proceeds for Eurazeo. The process, led by Centerview Partners, attracted several major private equity names before Partners Group aligned with the expected valuation.

It is worth noting that the fund Eurazeo took control of Aroma-Zone through an LBO in 2021.

AROMA-ZONE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2026, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level LOGIN than the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.0x).
