Inter Parfums, Inc.’s Dunhill fragrance license will expire on Sept. 30, 2023 and will not be renewed, company officials announced Thursday.
During the balance of the license, Inter Parfums, Inc. will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances under its previous business conditions.
Since 1982, Inter Parfums, Inc. develops, manufactures and distributes prestige perfumes and cosmetics as the exclusive worldwide licensee for such prestigious brands as Abercrombie & Fitch, Anna Sui, Boucheron, Coach, Dunhill, Ferragamo, Graff, Guess, Karl Lagerfeld and Jimmy Choo, to name a few.
Once the license expires, Inter Parfums, Inc. has the right to sell-off its remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time— a common practice in the industry.
“I am very proud of the Dunhill fragrance business we built over the past decade,” said Jean Madar, chairman and CEO. “We took over the Dunhill fragrance license in April 2013 and, in the intervening years, brought to market several fragrance pillars for the brand, including the Icon and Signature collections. We intend to continue to support the Dunhill brand and our distributors during the transition period.”
He continued, “Looking forward, we are focused on growing our larger brands, reinvigorating the fragrance businesses of our newly-licensed brands, and expanding our brand portfolio.”
Inter Parfums, Inc. is also the owner of Lanvin fragrances and the Rochas brand. Through its global distribution network, the company’s products are sold in over 120 countries.
