Fragrance West, which creates fragrances used in perfumes, colognes, and personal care products, recently acquired Atlanta-based Monarch Fragrances, the company announced today.

Fragrance West is a division of HORN Essentials, which is a distributor of ingredients, raw materials and chemicals for a wide variety of products in personal care, car care, pet care and candle industries.

The Van Nuys-based Fragrance West opened four years ago.

“The acquisition of Monarch allows Fragrance West and HORN to offer a broader range of fragrance options and finished product solutions,” said Christina Fiduccia, vice president of HORN Essentials in a prepared statement. “By combining resources, our customers will benefit from improved application, analytical, technical and regulatory support.”

Fragrance West was formed in 2008 as a result of HORN’s acquisition of Belamy West.
