FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INTERPARFUMS, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF THE GOUTAL BRAND
New York, New York, March 17, 2025, Interparfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) (“Interparfums” or the “Company”) today announced that its subsidiary, Interparfums SA, has acquired all worldwide intellectual property rights relating to Maison Goutal held by Amorepacific Europe. Amorepacific Europe will continue to operate the Goutal Brand under a license agreement for a set duration. Interparfums SA will develop the brand from 2026 onwards, together with its licensee.
Created by Annick Goutal in 1981, the eponymous brand positioned itself from the start in the exclusive high-end segment with the launch of the L’Eau d’Hadrien line and the opening of a first boutique on Rue de Bellechasse in Paris.
Known for refined and poetic creations, Goutal successively developed a wide range of perfume, bath and home fragrance lines, marketed through a network of owned brand boutiques and in-store sales corners both in France and abroad. The brand works exclusively with high-quality raw materials, combining natural ingredients into creative olfactory combinations.
Annual sales of Goutal fragrances have reached $10m to $12m in the past.
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums noted, “The acquisition of the Goutal brand reflects our strategy of broadening our product offering to include high-end fragrances. This brand, known for iconic lines such as L’Eau d’Hadrien and Petite Chérie, has substantial potential in this highly dynamic segment. Intent on safeguarding the legacy of the company her mother created and perpetuating the brand’s values, Camille Goutal will remain involved in fragrance choices.”
