Dubai, UAE, January 18, 2016:  Puig, majority shareholder since 2011 of the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion house, has fully integrated Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances into its portfolio of owned brands as of January 1, 2016.

The integration follows upon the termination of the license held by the Shiseido Company and managed by Beauté Prestige Internationale since 1993.
