Interparfums Q3 Sales Rise 1% YoY, European Brands Lead Growth

Interparfums, Inc. (IPAR) announced its sales results for the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, 2025, supported by solid demand for prestige and luxury fragrances despite a more selective consumer environment. The company remains confident about its long-term growth trajectory, citing continued innovation and portfolio expansion.

IPAR’s Steady Sales Performance

For the third quarter, Interparfums achieved a 1% year-over-year increase in consolidated net sales to $430 million, marking a new third-quarter record. Year-to-date sales also rose 1% to $1,102 million, reflecting ongoing resilience in global fragrance markets. A favorable dollar/euro exchange rate contributed approximately 2% to quarterly sales growth in the third quarter.

IPAR’s European-Based Sales Performance

European-based net sales advanced 5% year over year to $295 million, fueled by strength across key brands. The Jimmy Choo franchise continued its strong momentum, with sales climbing 16% in the quarter and 9% year to date, driven by the ongoing success of the I Want Choo line. Lacoste, in its second year under Interparfums’ management, remained a standout performer and is on track to surpass $100 million in annual sales for 2025.

The Coach brand also contributed meaningfully, with sales up 6% in the third quarter and 18% year to date, bolstered by the successful launch of Coach Gold. While Montblanc sales dipped modestly despite the introduction of Explorer Extreme, new releases such as Signature Elixir are expected to support growth into 2026.

Donna Karan/DKNY sales fell 14% versus strong prior-year results but are projected to rebound in the fourth quarter.

Interparfums’ Management Outlook

Interparfums continues to focus on maintaining flexibility and driving innovation amid a challenging global backdrop. Although certain markets remain under pressure, management expects ongoing pricing measures and a solid pipeline of launches to support improved performance through late 2025 and into 2026.

The company aims to strengthen its position in the prestige fragrance segment by broadening the portfolio mix, investing in new product development and deepening relationships with retail partners. These efforts, supported by strong brand recognition and expanding global reach, are expected to underpin steady growth in the year ahead.
