Stock market today: S&P 500 hits fresh record close on stronger economic growth
Investing.com -- Interparfums, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAR) has revealed that its subsidiary, Interparfums SA, has taken over all worldwide intellectual property rights related to Maison Goutal from Amorepacific (KS:090430) Europe. Despite this change in ownership, Amorepacific Europe will maintain its operation of the Goutal Brand under a license agreement for a set period. After this term, beginning in 2026, Interparfums SA will take over the brand’s development in collaboration with its licensee.
Maison Goutal was established by Annick Goutal in 1981. From its inception, the brand has positioned itself in the exclusive high-end market segment. This positioning was marked by the launch of the L’Eau d’Hadrien line and the opening of its first boutique on Rue de Bellechasse in Paris.
Goutal is recognized for its refined and poetic creations. The brand has progressively developed a wide range of perfume, bath, and home fragrance lines. These products are sold through a network of owned brand boutiques and in-store sales corners both in France and internationally. The brand is committed to working exclusively with high-quality raw materials, blending natural ingredients into creative olfactory combinations.
In the past, Goutal fragrances’ annual sales have been reported to reach between $10m and $12m.
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums, shared his thoughts on the acquisition. He said, “The acquisition of the Goutal brand reflects our strategy of broadening our product offering to include high-end fragrances. This brand, known for iconic lines such as L’Eau d’Hadrien and Petite Chérie, has substantial potential in this highly dynamic segment. Camille Goutal, intent on safeguarding the legacy of the company her mother created and perpetuating the brand’s values, will remain involved in fragrance choices.”
