Net sales for Interparfums grew 2% in Q1 2026 from $339 million the prior year quarter to $345 million this quarter, officials said.

Consolidated sales growth was driven by strong performances from several of the Happi Top 50 Company’s top brands led by Coach which grew 30%; Montblanc which increased 14%; Guess which rose 11%; and Roberto Cavalli which posted a 32% increase.

“Our United States and European based operations each delivered year-over-year growth despite mixed results across the portfolio, reflecting the strength of our business model, the appeal of our brands, and the disciplined execution of our strategy,’ said Jean Madar, chairman and CEO. “We are navigating a dynamic global marketplace by proactively driving efficiencies across the Company in response to weakness in select regions, tariffs and the effects of a normalizing market following years of significant global growth. We are encouraged by the resiliency of the fragrance market and its strong underlying fundamentals.”

Coach Leads Growth

Interparfums generated higher sales across several key geographies, including its largest market North America where sales rose by 7% reflecting continued market growth and the launch of several extensions, for Coach.

Sales in Central and South America increased by 23%, driven by the success of women’s and men’s Coach franchises and the strength of the Montblanc Legend line. Sales in Western Europe were flat behind slow consumer demand. Partially offsetting performance in these regions were sales declines in Eastern Europe, driven by operational difficulties in certain markets that disproportionately impacted Lanvin and Lacoste.

Sales declines in the Middle East and Africa were due to the recent intensification of regional wars and conflicts, while lower Asia / Pacific sales were driven by distribution changes we implemented in 2025 in South Korea and India, along with softer consumer demand in Australia / New Zealand, partially offset by strong growth in China.

While Jimmy Choo fragrance sales grew in the US, overall brand net sales declined 4%, largely due to a moderate downturn in certain European and Asian markets, officials said.

Lacoste declined 12%, reflecting a high growth comparison from the prior year period’s 30% innovation-led growth and weaker market conditions, especially in Eastern Europe. Donna Karan/DKNY net sales declined by a modest 3% in the 2026 first quarter, similarly, reflecting a strong sales base in the first quarter of 2025. Sales of Be Delicious Core rebounded by 16%, reflecting renewed consumer demand and strengthening momentum for the franchise.

In 2026, Interparums has successfully launched new line extensions across multiple brands, fortifying our market presence and attracting new audiences. These include Jimmy Choo, Man Parfum; Coach, Cherry for women and Platinum for men; Montblanc, Legend Elixir; Guess, Iconic Sublime; Lacoste, Original Aqua; Donna Karan/DKNY, Cashmere & Rose Absolu; and Roberto Cavalli, Uomo Verde Assoluto.

Interparfums will introduce additional fragrance extensions across its portfolio throughout the year anchored by these brands and Ferragamo – all while preparing for new, “blockbuster” launches in 2027, officials said.

The company maintains its 2026 outlook of $1.48 billion in sales.
