Interparfums is a French company listed on the Euronext Paris, which manufactures and distributes prestigious perfumes.

Contents

History

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]

Activities

Interparfums specializes in the creation, manufacture and marketing of perfumes. Interparfums distributes only a few lines from each of the perfume houses.

Breakdown of 2021 revenue (€560.8 million) by brand:

The group has ceased production of mass-market perfumes.

Other prestige brands such as Christian Lacroix, Céline, Molyneux, Quiksilver/Roxy, Regine's, Burberry and Nickel previously owned by the group are no longer part of the portfolio.

The products are marketed through more than 1,200 points of sale (perfumeries, franchised chains, department stores) in France, through nearly 250 importing companies, airports and airlines internationally.

The 2011 turnover, up 30%, is 398 million euros. That of 2012, up 12%, is 445.5 million euros, but is expected to fall in 2013 following the loss of the Burberry license and despite the signing of a long contract with Karl Lagerfeld. [15] The 2017 turnover, up 15%, is 422 million euros. For 2017, Europe represents 39.3% of the company's turnover, followed by North America with 28.1%.

The 2018 turnover, up 8%, is 455.3 million euros. The following year, the turnover reached 484.3 million euros, an increase of 6% compared to 2018.

Hit by the economic and health crisis linked to COVID-19, Interparfums deplores for the first half of 2020 a turnover down sharply by 41.3% to 139.3 million euros and a net profit down by 67% to 8.9 million euros. [16] The cancellation of the 2019 dividend was decided to allow the company to maintain a high level of cash. [17]

The 2021 turnover, up 52.7% compared to 2020 and 15.8% compared to 2019, is 560.8 million euros.

The 2022 turnover, up 26% compared to 2021, is 707 million euros.

The 2023 turnover, up 13% compared to 2022, is 798.5 million euros.
