The fragrance licence-owner has reported a strong Q3 due to new acquisitions and recent launches


Jimmy Choo, Rochas and Brazil were key drivers for Interparfums’ Q3 results.

The fragrance licence-owner reported a net sales increase of 4%, or €115m, in Q3 2017.

For the first nine months of 2017 sales rose to €324m up 18.7%, when compared to last year, and revenue is predicted to reach €400-€405m for the full year.

Rochas was the stand out brand for Interparfums.

After securing the French fashion house perfume licence in 2015, Interparfums reported a 32% sales increase, or €26.5m, in the nine months of 2017, when compared to 2016.

The launch of Mademoiselle Rochas in 15 markets is said to have been key to the brand’s success.


Meanwhile, with sales of nearly €79m, up 24% from the same time last year, Jimmy Choo has gained momentum with its Jimmy Choo L’Eau and Jimmy Choo Man Ice.

Coach also reported €31.5m sales to date, boosted by the brand’s fragrance debut last year with its perfume for women.

The figure is also likely to have been bolstered by the launch of Coach For Men, with James Franco (pictured) as the face, in Autumn 2017.

Sales have grown across each region, but South America saw a massive jump at 40%, followed by Eastern Europe (32%), Middle East (29%) and North America (17%).

Sales in Western Europe are said to have been slower.
