Fragrance house

Air-Val

Founded in Barcelona in 1979 by Francisco García Hernández, Air-Val International grew from a family-founded fragrance business into an international operator working across licensed, own-brand, and tailored projects for children, teenagers, and adults. Its creative identity is rooted in character- and age-led perfumery, with concepts shaped around age, gender, brand attributes, and fictional characters. An early Disney fragrance licence helped the company expand into export markets, and Air-Val is especially associated with children’s fragrance, particularly Disney character fragrances; early examples include Lady Minnie and Dandy Mickey. Air-Val entered adult perfumery in 2013 and later worked with fashion and lifestyle brands. Ownership changed on 6 July 2022, when Europer S.L. became the company’s sole shareholder and sole administrator, replacing the García-family-led governance structure. A partial spin-off announced in December 2025 and registered in February 2026 transferred part of Air-Val International’s assets, rights, and obligations to Air-Val Perfumes S.L.U.
