Inter Parfums is looking to kick off the new year in style. Its subsidiary, Inter Parfums SA, and Jimmy Choo have signed a 12-year worldwide license agreement commencing on Jan. 1, 2010 for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances under the Jimmy Choo brand.

Since 1996, Tamara Mellon, founder and president of the iconic British luxury lifestyle brand, has developed a sophisticated and exclusive universe of luxury shoes, handbags and accessories. She said, “It has always been my vision to fully accessorize the woman, and fragrance is an integral part of the modern wardrobe. Through our association with Inter Parfums, I look forward to bringing this important aspect of my vision to life."
