Vranjes Firenze, the renowned Florentine perfume house established in 1983, has announced a significant strategic move with the acquisition of a 51% stake in Integra Fragrances. This acquisition marks a pivotal step towards the creation of a new hub dedicated to high-end ambient fragrance solutions, solidifying Vranjes Firenze's position in the luxury scent market.

The founders of Integra Fragrances will remain actively involved to ensure continuity and leverage their expertise. Lorenzo Cotti will continue to lead the company as CEO, guiding its operations and strategic development. This commitment from the existing leadership underscores the collaborative spirit of the partnership and its focus on sustained growth.

Lorenzo Cotti expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "My partners and I are very pleased about this partnership with Vranjes Firenze, which marks a significant step in our development plan. By combining our technology and experience in ambient scenting with the artisanal expertise and brand recognition of Vranjes Firenze, we will unlock unique synergies that will enhance our olfactory branding offering and open up new opportunities for global growth."

Integra Fragrances, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Reggio Emilia, is a specialist in olfactory branding services. The company boasts offices in key global cities including Milan, New York, and Hong Kong, catering to a prestigious clientele across the luxury, fashion, hospitality, and design sectors. A core strength of Integra Fragrances lies in its proprietary technologies for ambient fragrance diffusion, particularly through HVAC and air-quality control systems, enabling the precise scenting of large-scale spaces in hotels, boutiques, spas, and corporate environments worldwide.

Giuseppe Colotto, CEO of Vranjes Firenze, highlighted the strategic rationale behind the acquisition. He explained, "With this acquisition, we are taking a further step in the evolution and development of the brand, and it will allow us to create strategic synergies in the fashion, hospitality and wellness channels. It is an evolution consistent with our vision: to create beauty and well-being through the art of perfume, with responsibility and innovation." This move aligns perfectly with Vranjes Firenze’s commitment to expanding its influence and offering innovative solutions.

Vranjes Firenze is a formidable presence in the global fragrance market, with a turnover of approximately €50 million and a workforce exceeding 250 employees, operating in over 75 countries. Following its integration into the L’Occitane Group in 2024, the brand continues to expand its product portfolio and global reach, all while maintaining its deep roots in Florence and upholding the excellence of Tuscan craftsmanship.

The company recently achieved B Corp certification, reflecting its dedication to social and environmental responsibility. All Vranjes Firenze creations are meticulously designed, formulated, and produced locally through ongoing collaboration with regional artisans, suppliers, and partners. This commitment helps to shorten the supply chain, reduce environmental impact, and meticulously preserve the unparalleled excellence of Florentine craftsmanship, reinforcing the brand's authentic heritage and sustainable practices.
