Inter Parfums Inc has entered into a 10-year exclusive global licensing agreement with Emanuel Ungaro for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products for the brand.

The deal takes in the existing portfolio and will see new products launched from 2023. It’s being run through a newly-created subsidiary, Interparfums Italia, and with a five-year renewal option, it covers home fragrance, skincare, cosmetics and travel amenities.

It starts from January 1 2022, and Ungaro owner and tech entrepreneur Asim Abdullah said the “agreement marks the beginning of a new era for Ungaro fragrances, which have a long and storied history. We look forward to reinforcing our brand’s beauty franchise under the direction, expertise and dedication of our friends at Inter Parfums, who will write this exciting new chapter”.

Jean Madar, Chairman and CEO of Inter Parfums, added: “Ungaro is a legendary name synonymous with creativity, colours, signature cuts and patterns representing a best-in-class example of the intersection of Italian creativity and craftsmanship with French luxury and execution. Today, the brand is best known and most prized internationally, and such presence will remain our sales focus as we continue to produce and distribute the brand’s legacy scents, notably Diva. 

“Come 2023, we plan to unveil a new fragrance incorporating disruptive design, driven by creativity, sustainability and authenticity.”

Inter Parfums also develops, manufactures and distributes prestige perfumes and cosmetics for brands including Abercrombie & Fitch, Boucheron, Coach, Dunhill, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, and Oscar de la Renta, among others.
