YEAR-END RESULTS

Management Reaffirms 2007 Guidance and Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend

New York, New York, March 12, 2007 -- Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. European operations, which are conducted in France, represent the sale of prestige brand name fragrances, and United States operations, represent the sale of specialty retail and mass-market products.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2005

• Net sales rose 37% to $90.2 million from $65.7 million; at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales were up 34%;
• Sales by European operations were $70.4 million, up 22% compared to $57.5 million;
• U.S. operations generated $19.8 million in sales, up 141% from $8.2 million;
• Net income rose 41% to $5.5 million from $3.9 million; and,
• Diluted earnings per share were $0.27, up 42% compared to $0.19.

Jean Madar, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The final quarter of 2006 was the best ever in the history of Inter Parfums. With regard to European operations, the three largest fragrance brands in our prestige brand portfolio, Burberry, Lanvin and Paul Smith, each achieved excellent growth. In the U.S., our growth is primarily attributable to the Banana Republic fragrance, bath and body and home fragrance products that we developed and are supplying to its North American stores. The top line growth for U.S. operations also includes shipments of holiday programs to Banana Republic Factory and Gap Outlet stores as well as continued shipments of existing programs for Gap stores.”

He went on to say, “We are extremely excited about the new personal care products that we are creating and producing for the Gap’s North American stores. In May, over 150 Gap Body stores will unveil the more than 70 new bath and body products which will be followed by the new Gap eau de toilette line in June. The current schedule calls for the new products to begin to rollout to the Gap stores in late summer, and continue throughout the remainder of the year and into 2008.”

2006 Full Year Results and 2007 Guidance

For the year as a whole, Inter Parfums reported record sales of $321.1 million, up 17% from $273.5 million in 2005. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales for 2006 were also up 17%. European product sales rose to $270.1 million, up 13% year over year and represented 84% of consolidated sales. The gains were primarily attributable to Burberry, Lanvin and Paul Smith brand sales which were up 10%, 19%, and 22% in local currency, respectively. U.S. product sales rose to $51.0 in 2006, an increase of 49% compared to 2005. Net income rose 16% to $17.7 million from $15.3 million in 2005. Diluted earnings per share rose 15% to $0.86 in 2006 as compared to $0.75 in 2005. As previously reported, management is projecting 2007 net sales, net income and diluted earnings per share of approximately $365.0 million, $20.4 million or $1.00, respectively.

With respect to European operations, Mr. Madar went on to say, “Our 2007 new product pipeline includes women’s fragrances for Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont and Christian Lacroix, as well as our first ever fragrance under the Roxy brand, which is scheduled for a fall introduction. At the start of the year, we took control of the Van Cleef & Arpels (“VCA”) fragrance inventory, product sales and distribution. In the first year of our VCA license, we believe that we should be able to grow the newly acquired fragrance brand beyond its $20 million sales base with existing lines only. When we introduce an entirely new fragrance family in 2008, we expect further sales growth.”

Discussing selling, general and administrative expenses, Russell Greenberg, Executive Vice President & CFO, noted, “Promotion and advertising included in S,G&A aggregated $46.5 million and $11.4 million for the year and final quarter of 2006, respectively, as compared to $40.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2005. Much of the increase relates to the launch and geographic rollout of Burberry London. Also in connection with our agreement with Gap, Inc., S,G&A expense in 2006 includes approximately $7 million incurred for staff, product development and other start-up expenses, including those of third-party design and marketing firms. Royalty expense included in S,G&A in the 2006 year and fourth quarter aggregated $31.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, as compared to $27.1 million and $3.5 million, for the respective periods of 2005.”

Mr. Greenberg, continued, “Our financial position remains exceptionally strong. At December 31, 2006, working capital aggregated $139 million and we closed the year with a working capital ratio in excess of 2 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments aggregated $71 million. Despite the ambitious new product launch schedule, inventory levels at year-end of $69.5 million were actually slightly less than at the start of the fourth quarter. Inventory levels are expected to be higher in future quarters for a number of reasons. These include the purchase of the VCA inventory, as well as the inventory requirements associated with the launch of four new prestige fragrances. In addition, the establishment of our majority owned Burberry fragrance distribution subsidiaries in the U.K., Spain, Italy and Germany will require us to carry inventory that was formerly carried by our distributors and finally, there are also inventory requirements associated with new products we are creating for Gap, Inc.”

Cash Dividend Increased

Inter Parfums also announced that its Board of Directors increased the cash dividend from $0.16 to $0.20 per share. The first cash dividend for 2007 of $0.05 per share is to be paid on April 13, 2007 to shareholders of record on March 30, 2007.
