Interparfums launches Solférino Paris, its first high-end perfume brand
Already available for a week at the Drugstore Publicis in Paris, the collection will be gradually rolled out, with the opening of its first own-name boutique at 310 rue Saint-Honoré in September. The strategic location is situated on a thoroughfare where more and more high-end perfumery boutiques are emerging. At the same time, the brand plans to launch a dedicated e-commerce site in September.
Positioned in the premium segment, Solférino Paris offers two formats: 75 ml at 160 euros and 125 ml at 260 euros. With this initiative, Interparfums aligns itself with a trend driven by other major groups in the sector. In early 2024, Coty inaugurated Infiniment Coty Paris, its own prestige perfumery house, also with a boutique in Paris.
In the first quarter of 2025, Interparfums recorded sales of 235.5 million euros, up from 212.7 million euros the previous year. Growth was driven in particular by the performances of Jimmy Choo (+40%) and Lacoste (+34%). In March, the group also announced the acquisition of the Goutal house, founded in 1981 by Annick Goutal, further strengthening its portfolio in the premium segment. With Solférino Paris, Interparfums initiates a shift towards the ultra-selective, while capitalising on its Parisian roots and olfactory expertise. A positioning that could appeal to international markets, notably China.

Buoyed by Lacoste, Coach, and Jimmy Choo, Interparfums grows by 5.8% in the first half of 2025
The Interparfums group posted sales of 446.9 million euros for the first half of 2025, up 5.8% on the same period last year. These results were mainly driven by the strong momentum of the Lacoste and Coach brands, and by the results of Jimmy Choo. On Tuesday, Interparfums also announced that it has signed a perfume license agreement with Longchamp until December 31, 2036, with immediate effect and a first launch scheduled for 2027. In the first half of 2025, sales of Lacoste's perfume segment rose by 42% to 52.2 million euros. The brand confirmed the positive trajectory it began in 2024, and Interparfums hopes it will reach 100 million euros in sales for the current financial year as a whole. For its part, the fragrance segment of New York brand Coach grew by 24% between the first half of 2024 and 2025, reaching 106 million euros in sales thanks to the launch of the Coach For Men Eau de Parfum line in the first quarter, and Coach Women Gold in the second. Lacoste, Coach, and Jimmy Choo fragrances in vogue Jimmy Choo posted half-year sales of 104 million euros thanks to its "I Want Choo" women's franchise, launched in 2021 and soon to be expanded with a fourth iteration. The first-quarter launch of a new fragrance in the Jimmy Choo Man franchise also contributed to this. Perfumes from Rochas reached 19.8 million euros (-3%), with the launch of the Rochas Audace and Eau de Rochas Néroli Azur lines, while Lanvin sales reached 19.5 million euros (-7%). Montblanc results were down 10%, slowed by the decline of the Montblanc Legend Red and Montblanc Legend Blue lines. The other brands (Karl Lagerfeld, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Kate Spade, Moncler) reported stable cumulative sales of 52.6 million euros over the same period. At group level, the situation is very different in each geographic zone. North America, Interparfums' main market, achieved sales of 164 million euros in the first half of 2025 (+15% on the same period in 2024), but the Group's forecasts point to a "more difficult" second half of the year. In Asia, the dynamic remains positive in China and Japan, despite distribution continuing to weigh on the market. The region accounted for sales of 62.2 million euros in the first half. Business in the Middle East affected by geopolitical crises In Western Europe, the resumption of Lacoste's fragrance distribution and the Lacoste Original and Montblanc Explorer Extrême lines enabled the Interparfums group to achieve sales of 84.7 million euros over the first half of the 2025 financial year. In Eastern Europe, the relaunch of Lacoste fragrances and good results from Lanvin and Karl Lagerfeld fragrances drove sales to 35.3 million euros over the same period (+15%). The Middle East suffered from the repercussions of existing conflicts in the region and a reduction in the number of points of sale. Sales in the region fell by 13% between the first half of 2024 and 2025, when they reached 24.9 million euros. While Interparfums chairman and CEO Philippe Bénacin stressed an "increasingly complex environment", the group indicated that it could take comparable measures in the autumn should US tariffs reach 30% this August 1. For the time being, Interparfums estimates full-year sales for 2025 at €910 million.
