Interparfums has reported a rise in its full-year sales for 2025, despite a lagging US performance.
The licensed fragrance specialist saw net sales increase 2% to US$1.49bn for the year ended 31 December 2025, up from $1.45bn in 2024.
This was supported by a positive final quarter, with net sales increasing 7% to $386m, bolstered by European-based net sales rising 9% to $233m.
US sales also contributed to the strong Q4 update.
However, for the full-year US sales were down 6% to $482m, with Interparfums citing a “challenging year” in America.
“Our targeted marketing and high service levels across our global distribution network captured the interest of consumers during a robust holiday sales season, enabling us to finish the year on a high note and offsetting some of the softness we had seen in the previous quarters,” said Jean Madar, Chairman and CEO of Interparfums.
“Our annual sales reached a record $1.49bn, thanks to favourable foreign exchange and the multiple engines of growth enabled by our broad portfolio of prestige and luxury fragrance brands.”
In Europe, sales were supported by Interparfums' hero brands, including Coach, which saw sales rise 5% in the fourth quarter and 15% for the full-year.
The brand’s “multi-generational appeal” and the launch of two new successful perfumes in the first half of 2025 contributed to this growth.
Lacoste fragrance sales in Q4 and the full-year grew 23% and 28% respectively, while sales of our Montblanc brand rose 22% in the final quarter, reflecting the success of the new Montblanc Explorer.
The strong demand for the trio of brands helped to offset the sales softness experienced in the first part of 2025.
Interpafums also provided an update on its newly launched private-label perfume collection, Solférino Paris, which is targeted at the niche fragrance market.
The licensed fragrance specialist's first proprietary brand focuses on haute parfumerie, with ten gender-neutral scents each inspired by an iconic Parisian place or moment.
Madar stated that Solférino saw a good start in its first six months of operation.
He added: “We remain on track to expand this artisanal fragrance house into an additional 50 doors in the first half of 2026.”
The US market saw a more mixed performance in 2025, which was offset by Guess and DKNY returning to growth, as well as jumper sales from Roberto Cavalli and MCM.
Guess and DKNY posted sales increases of 7% and 8% respectively.
Roberto Cavalli fragrance sales also rose 33% in both the fourth quarter and full-year, thanks to “blockbuster” launches during the year.
Madar concluded: “Despite a challenging year, where the brand declined 9% despite the launch of Fiamma, fragrance sales at Ferragamo were flat for the fourth quarter, supported by the third quarter launch of Sublime Leather.
"While macroeconomic headwinds linger in certain key markets, and we continue to see trade destocking, we are encouraged by our performance in 2025 as we have been able to grow market share.
“We remain cautiously optimistic about 2026 and continue to prepare for what we expect will be a more favourable operating environment in 2027 and beyond, as we roll out major innovation on our new licenses and on some of our larger brands, as well as potentially securing new brands and licenses.”
