Interparfums is a French company listed on the Euronext Paris, which manufactures and distributes prestigious perfumes.
History
[edit]The company was created in 1982 by Philippe Bénacin and Jean Madar. The company first developed in the mass-market perfume market with the design and distribution of affordable eau de toilette before, in the early 1990s, focusing its activity on the selective perfumery niche.[1]
In 1993, the signing of a perfume licensing agreement with the English brand Burberry was the first step in this strategy aimed at building a portfolio of international brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, ready-to-wear brands (Lanvin), fine jewelry (Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron), or accessories (ST Dupont, Montblanc, Jimmy Choo, Repetto for fall 2013[2]) still in the world of perfumes and cosmetics.
Since April 2013,[3] after discussions between the British company and Interparfums,[4] the Burberry brand, which represented half of Interparfums' turnover, has been transferred to BPI (Beauté Prestige International), a subsidiary of Shiseido.[5]
In March 2015, Interparfums acquired Rochas, a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble specializing in perfumes and fashion, for $108 million.[6]
In April 2015, Interparfums signed an operating license agreement with the Coach brand.[7]
In 2016, following the acquisition of Balmain by the investment company Mayhoola, Interparfums decided to terminate the licensing agreement.[8]
On June 7, 2019, the Kate Spade New York brand and Interparfums announced that they had signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement for Kate Spade perfumes for a period of 11 years.
On June 11, 2020, the Moncler brand and Interparfums announced the signing of a perfume licensing agreement, until December 31, 2026, with a possible 5-year extension.[9]
On July 1, 2020, Interparfums acquired 25% of the website "origines-parfums.fr".[10] Which will become MyOrigines to accelerate its international development.
In January 2021, the Interparfums group, previously located at number 4 of the Rond-point des Champs-Élysées-Marcel-Dassault in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, bought from APSYS the building at number 10 Rue de Solférino (Paris), the former historic headquarters of the Socialist Party in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, and set up its head office there.[11][12]
For the whole of 2021, Interparfums announced a net profit up 40% compared to 2019, the last year before the pandemic, for a figure that now stands at 71.1 million euros.[13] The following year, the Richemont group, which grants several brand licenses to Interparfums, announced that it wanted to take over the "beauty" business; this led to a fall in the manufacturer's stock price.[14]
