Fragrance company Interparfums announced its initial guidance for the upcoming fiscal year ending on December 31, 2026. The company expects to see a net sales growth of 1% from the previous fiscal year.
“While we remain focused on delivering a strong pipeline of new fragrances in the coming year, broader macroeconomic challenges and ongoing inventory destocking are expected to persist in 2026,” commented chairman and chief executive officer Jean Madar. “Despite these pressures, we anticipate a modest increase in net sales over our 2025 guidance, with foreign exchange gains offsetting the impact from the expiration of our license for Boucheron.”
The company also expects its earnings per diluted share to decline by 5% in 2026, reflected by the impact of tariffs and investments in new brands Off-White and Longchamp. Further, Madar said that the company plans to make “incremental investments” to support upcoming launches.
In Europe, Interparfums will introduce strategic expansions across key brands, including two new offerings for Coach that build on the brand’s signature scents, a men’s extension for Jimmy Choo and new interpretations of the Lacoste fragrance lines. Further, Solférino, the company’s owned brand, is expected to expand to an additional 50 doors in the first half of 2026.
On the U.S. side, the company is set to debut several extensions across its largest brands, including a new male scent for GUESS Iconic, a new collection for Ferragamo and a 50th anniversary collection for MCM.
Madar concluded, “The investments we are making in 2026 will set our future brands up for success and serve our core brands with a strong pipeline of blockbuster launches in 2027, namely Montblanc, GUESS, Ferragamo and Cavalli, setting the stage for us to accelerate our profitable growth. We also anticipate that the current macroeconomic headwinds will moderate by late 2026, providing a more favorable environment and positioning us for a stronger outlook in 2027 and beyond.”
