BCG Baden-Baden Cosmetics Group AG and Deutsche Entertainment AG, two portfolio companies of Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0L1NN5), are working together. In an initial cooperation with top violinist David Garrett, the companies have announced the launch of the first Rock Symphonies Man and Woman perfume and shower gel series, offering yet another example of how Heliad successfully exploits potential synergies between its portfolio investments.

Classic-rock crossover: David Garrett is one of the foremost violinists of our times. The star's virtuoso, powerful playing transcends the boundaries between the usual genres - from classical music to rock and pop - and is warmly appreciated by a global audience in all age groups. David Garrett is guided by his passion for the music. Whether as the world's fastest violinist, winner of the ECHOKlassik award or of gold and platinum awards as a crossover expert, David Garrett captivates audiences with his peak musical performance and easy-going, cool aura. In his latest album - 'Rock Symphonies', the star violinist casts songs by the greatest rock legends in an unusual new light. He is masterful and unmistakeable in expressing the nuances of classical and rock music, as well as embodying elegance and joie-de-vivre. It is this unique, memorable style that has also inspired his first perfume line - ROCK SYMPHONIES. Fresh and highly expressive, these fragrances capture the star's authentic powers of attraction and character, and his unconventional and natural personality. ROCK SYMPHONIES MAN and ROCK SYMPHONIES WOMAN are elegant yet casual scents full of charisma that will appeal to trendsetters with style and individualists with zest for life.

David Garrett worked together with the SANS SOUCIS cosmetics, one of the brands at Heliad Equity Partners' portfolio company BCG Baden-Baden Cosmetics Group AG in Baden-Baden, to develop the ROCK SYMPHONIES perfume collection. The products will be available at perfumeries and select department stores from November 2010.
