Bogart reports first-half sales decline of 9.1%

Bogart , the French beauty group behind brands like Carven and Jacques Bogart, reported sales of €121.9 million for the first half of 2025—a 9.1% decline compared to the same period last year. On a like-for-like basis, revenue dropped 8.6%. The downturn reflects ongoing economic challenges and geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East.

Revenue from the Bogart Fragrances & Cosmétiques division fell 14.8% to €22.5 million, weighed down by cautious consumer spending and customs-related disruptions in the U.S. Still, select labels such as Stendhal—notably its " Divine Alba " line—and Rose et Marius remained more stable.

The Bogart Beauty Retail segment, which includes the April chain and accounts for the majority of group sales, recorded revenue of €99.4 million, down 7.7
