Interparfums has announced the imminent launch of Solférino, a proprietary fragrance brand set to debut by the end of next year. This exclusive collection of ten premium fragrances promises to offer a new dimension in personal fragrance. With distribution planned through approximately 100 select locations worldwide, and a flagship boutique in Paris, Solférino is poised to make a significant impact in the ultra-selective market segment.
The decision to launch Solférino reflects Interparfums’ strategic move into the high-end fragrance arena. A company spokesperson said, “The launch of this new brand reflects the company’s medium-term growth strategy in the extremely buoyant high-end fragrance market.” This initiative not only underscores Interparfums’ commitment to innovation, but also its confidence in catering to a discerning clientele seeking unique olfactory experiences.

In addition to Solférino, Interparfums is increasing its focus on Moncler fragrances. Development will now focus on the Les Sommets collection, using highly selective distribution channels. This approach is in line with the company’s vision to strengthen its presence in the luxury fragrance sector while maintaining exclusivity.
Interparfums SA’s financial projections indicate robust growth. In 2025, the company expects sales to be between 910 and 930 million Euros, with an operating margin of more than 19 percent. For the current year, sales growth is expected to exceed 10 percent, supported by the successful integration of the new Lacoste fragrance business. Looking ahead to 2024, Group sales are expected to be between 880 and 890 million Euros, with a strong operating margin maintained thanks to a solid gross margin and continued control of operating costs.
The trend for fragrance companies to launch high-end private label lines is gaining momentum. In particular, Coty Inc. recently launched Infiniment Coty Paris, a prestigious collection of 14 niche fragrances that bridge the company’s rich heritage with contemporary perfumery. This strategy not only showcases a fragrance house’s expertise, but also allows it to tap into the burgeoning premium segment, which has been a significant growth driver in the industry.
Interparfums SA‘ move into proprietary fragrances represents a strategic expansion that could reshape consumer perceptions of luxury men’s fragrances. By leveraging its extensive experience and established reputation, the company is well positioned to set new standards in the market.
