Organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1985 as Jean Philippe Fragrances, Inc., we changed our name to Inter Parfums, Inc. in July 1999. We have also retained our brand name, Jean Philippe Fragrances, for some of our mass market products.

Summary

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by and should be read together with the more detailed information and audited financial statements, including the related notes, contained or incorporated by reference in this report.

General

We operate in the fragrance business and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products. We manage our business in two segments, European based operations and United States based operations. Our prestige fragrance products are produced and marketed by our European operations through our 74% owned subsidiary in Paris, Inter Parfums, S.A., which is also a publicly traded company as 26% of Inter Parfums, S.A. shares trade on the Euronext. Prestige cosmetics and prestige skin care products represent less than 1% of consolidated net sales.

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own any manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers which manufacture the finished goods for us and ship them back to our distribution center.

As with any business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. We discuss in greater detail risk factors relating to our business in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and the reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

European Operations

We produce and distribute our prestige fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners, and prestige product sales represented approximately 88% of net sales for 2010. We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which include Burberry, Lanvin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jimmy Choo, Montblanc, Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont, Nickel and Boucheron, whose products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world. Shipments to our distribution subsidiaries are not recognized as sales until that merchandise is sold by our distribution subsidiary to its customers.

Burberry is our most significant license, as sales of Burberry products represented 53%, 57% and 56% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, we own the Lanvin brand name for our class of business and sales of Lanvin product represented 15%, 14% and 13% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Our prestige products focus on niche brands with a devoted following. By concentrating in markets where the brands are best known, we have had many successful launches. We typically launch new fragrance families for our brands every year or two, with some frequent “seasonal” fragrances introduced as well.

The creation and marketing of each product family is intimately linked with the brand’s name, its past and present positioning, customer base and, more generally, the prevailing market atmosphere. Accordingly, we generally study the market for each proposed family of fragrance products for almost a full year before we introduce any new product into the market. This study is intended to define the general position of the fragrance family and more particularly its scent, bottle, packaging and appeal to the buyer. In our opinion, the unity of these four elements of the marketing mix makes for a successful product.

United States Operations

Our specialty retail and mass market fragrance and fragrance related products are marketed through our United States operations and represented 12%, of sales for the year ended December 31, 2010. These fragrance products are sold under trademarks owned by us or pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of the Gap, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, bebe, New York & Company, Betsey Johnson, Nine West and Jordache brands.

Recent Developments

Burberry

In December 2010, Inter Parfums, S.A., and Burberry Limited entered into an amendment to the license agreement dated October 12, 2004. Such amendment extends the term of the license for one (1) year until December 31, 2017, and also extends for one (1) year the time to exercise the five-year optional term of the license that requires the mutual consent of Burberry and Inter Parfums, S.A., which must be exercised, if at all, prior to December 31, 2015. If the optional term is exercised, then the license would expire on December 31, 2022. The amendment also extends the time for Burberry to exercise its right to buy back the license for one (1) year from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Burberry has not exercised any buy back options to date. As previously disclosed, if Burberry were to buy back the license, then the purchase price will be the greater of the then fair market value of the unexpired term of the license or 70% of 2010 net wholesale sales of Burberry products.

Boucheron

In December 2010, Inter Parfums, S.A., and Boucheron Parfums SAS, entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrance and related bath and body products under the Boucheron brand and related trademarks effective on January 1, 2011. The term of the license expires on December 31, 2025, but will be automatically renewed for a five (5) year term expiring on December 31, 2030 if certain sales targets are met in 2024. Our rights under such license agreement are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.

Inter Parfums S.A. has paid €15 million to Boucheron Parfums SAS as an upfront entry fee. After a short transition period ending March 31, 2011 to terminate existing distribution arrangements of the former licensee, Inter Parfums, S.A. has agreed to purchase the remaining inventory for approximately €1.7 million.

Nine West

In July 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Nine West Development Corporation for the creation, production, marketing and global distribution of women’s fragrances under the Nine West brand. The agreement, which runs through December 31, 2016, contains a provision for further renewal if certain conditions are met. The agreement also provides for direct sales to Nine West retail stores in the United States, as well as a licensing component, enabling us to sell women's fragrances to better department stores and specialty retailers worldwide. Our rights under such license agreement are subject to certain minimum sales, advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. Plans call for our first Nine West fragrance launch in 2011.

Betsey Johnson

In July 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with Betsey Johnson LLC of New York, NY, under which we will design, manufacture and sell fragrance, color cosmetics as well as other personal care products across a broad retail spectrum. The agreement, which runs through December 31, 2015 with a five year optional term if certain conditions are met, encompasses both direct sales to global Betsey Johnson stores and e-commerce site, as well as a licensing component, enabling us to sell these fragrance and beauty products to specialty and department stores as well as other retail outlets worldwide. Our rights under such license agreement are subject to certain minimum sales, advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. While we introduced a new twist on a vintage Betsey Johnson fragrance in August 2010, plans call for our first new Betsey Johnson product launch in 2011.

U.S. Distribution of Prestige Products

Beginning January 1, 2011, Interparfums Luxury Brands, a recently formed United States company and subsidiary of our French subsidiary Inter Parfums SA, began distribution of Burberry (fragrances and cosmetics), Lanvin, Montblanc and Jimmy Choo brands in the United States. In addition, under the terms of a recently signed four-year agreement, Interparfums Luxury Brands and Clarins Fragrance Group US (a Division of Clarins Group in the U.S. responsible for the Thierry Mugler, Azzaro, Porsche Design, David Yurman and Swarovski brands) will share and manage an expanded sales force. Logistical and administrative support will be provided by Clarins Group USA from its Park Avenue offices in New York and its warehouse in Orangeburg, New York. We believe this alliance offers us a unique opportunity to develop a highly efficient organization and create synergies with potential for accelerated growth in the U.S. market.

Our Prestige Products

General

We produce and distribute our prestige fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners. Under license agreements, we obtain the right to use the brand name, create new fragrances and packaging, determine positioning and distribution, and market and sell the licensed products, in exchange for the payment of royalties. Our rights under license agreements are also generally subject to certain minimum sales requirements and advertising expenditures.

We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which include Burberry, Lanvin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jimmy Choo, Montblanc, Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont, Nickel and Boucheron. We are the owner of the Lanvin and Nickel brand names and trademarks and we have exclusive world-wide licenses which run through the following dates:

Brand Name	License Expiration Date

Burberry	December 31, 2017 unless the buyback option is exercised
Van Cleef & Arpels	December 31, 2018, plus a 5-year optional term if certain sales targets are met
Jimmy Choo	December 31, 2021
Montblanc	December 31, 2020
Paul Smith	December 31, 2017
S.T. Dupont	June 30, 2011
Boucheron	December 31, 2025, plus a 5-year optional term if certain sales targets are met

For competitive reasons we do not disclose certain commercial or financial terms in these agreements, such as specific percentage royalty rates or percentage of net sales for minimum advertising requirements, as well as the specific dollar amount of royalties, minimum advertising expenses and minimum sales requirements. With respect to each item that relates to financial information, the aggregate amounts of such items are taken into account in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Further, we believe that all commercial and financial information omitted is commercially reasonable and as such the specific percentages or dollar amounts are not material. Based upon the foregoing, we have filed confidential treatment applications for the agreements that we have filed as material contracts, which have been routinely granted.

Prestige Fragrances

BURBERRY — Burberry is our leading prestige fragrance brand and we operate under an exclusive worldwide license with Burberry Limited that was originally entered into in 1993 and replaced by a new agreement in 2004.

We have had significant success in introducing new fragrance families under the Burberry brand name. We have introduced several fragrance families including Burberry, Burberry Week End, Burberry Touch, Burberry Brit, Burberry London, Burberry The Beat and most recently, Burberry Sport. Successful distribution has been achieved in more than a hundred countries around the world by differentiating the positioning and target consumer for each of the families.

In March 2008 we commenced the successful worldwide launch of the women’s fragrance, Burberry The Beat, by capitalizing on the commercial and editorial success of Burberry’s high-end fashion collections and continuing to create a strong link to the Burberry fashion brand. Burberry The Beat was a concept that was clearly distinct from other Burberry fragrance lines. We targeted a younger segment with a mix of British tradition and an avant-garde positioning with the purpose of expanding our customer base by targeting an edgier consumer. Further, music was a major source of inspiration for the concept of this new women’s fragrance.

Our 2009 new product launch schedule included the men’s version of Burberry The Beat, which was initially previewed exclusively at Bloomingdale’s, and was rolled out globally throughout 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010 we launched the most recent Burberry fragrance family for men and women, Burberry Sport, and the rollout continued for the balance of the year. For 2010, Burberry fragrances had another year of growth driven by solid performances of top-selling lines (Burberry Brit and Burberry London), the launch of Burberry Sport and Burberry Beauty (a color cosmetics collection discussed below), in addition to significant gains by its well-established lines (Burberry, Burberry Weekend and Burberry Touch). To further strengthen the Burberry brand’s potential for sustained growth in the years ahead, a major new women’s line will be launched in 2011.

LANVIN — In July 2007 we acquired the worldwide rights to the Lanvin brand names and international trademarks listed in Class 3 that we had previously licensed in June 2004. A synonym of luxury and elegance, the Lanvin fashion house, founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, expanded into fragrances in the 1920s. Today, Lanvin fragrances occupy important positions in the selective distribution market in France, Europe and Asia, particularly with the lines Arpège (created in 1927), Lanvin L’Homme (1997) and Eclat d’Arpège (2002). Our first Lanvin fragrance, Arpège pour Homme, debuted in late 2005. Arpège by Lanvin won the honor of entering the Fragrance Hall of Fame at the 2005 FiFi Awards, an honor given to the best fragrance sold for at least 15 years that has been revitalized.

In 2006, we launched Rumeur, our first new Lanvin fragrance for women. In 2008, we previewed a new Lanvin fragrance family, Jeanne Lanvin, in Paris, and began its global rollout during the Fall of 2008.

In the Summer of 2009 we launched Lanvin L’Homme Sport, with tennis sensation, Rafael Nadal, the Wimbledon, French Open, Australian open and U.S. Open and 2008 Olympic gold medal winner, as our model and spokesperson. In the second half of 2010, we launched our newest fragrance, Marry Me! by Lanvin.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS — In September 2006, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrance and related bath and body products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand and related trademarks. We believe this agreement with Van Cleef & Arpels, the prestigious and legendary world-renowned jewelry designer, will provide growth potential by exposing us to further opportunities for expansion of our fragrance business in the high luxury segment.

In 1976, Van Cleef & Arpels was a pioneer among jewelers with its launch of the fragrance, First, which exemplified the tradition of boldness of the jewelry house. We have built upon this sales base by promoting the two strongest families, First and Tsar, and then creating our initial product line, Féerie, which we launched in 2008. We believe this women’s fragrance is one of the highest retail price cologne in the market, as the 100ml. size fragrance has a suggested retail price of approximately $150.

A high end limited edition fragrance for Van Cleef & Arpels, Collection Extraordinaire, was launched in late 2009. For Van Cleef & Arpels in 2010, we created a new women’s fragrance, Oriens, and also introduced Midnight in Paris, our first men’s fragrance for Van Cleef & Arpels.

JIMMY CHOO — In October 2009 we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement that commenced on January 1, 2010 and expires on December 31, 2021, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances under the Jimmy Choo brand.

Tamara Mellon founded this luxury goods company in 1996. With a heritage in luxury footwear, Jimmy Choo today encompasses a complete luxury lifestyle accessory brand with women's shoes, handbags, small leather goods, sunglasses and eyewear. Its products are available in the growing network of Jimmy Choo freestanding stores as well as in the most prestigious department, specialty and duty free stores worldwide. From its original base in the United Kingdom and United States, the Jimmy Choo store network now encompasses over 100 locations in 32 countries.

The brand is the recipient of the 2008 “Designer Brand of the Year” award from the British Fashion Council, the 2008 ACE award for “Brand of the Year” from the Accessory Council, the 2008 “Brand of the Year” award from Footwear News, and the 2009 “Partner in Excellence” Award from Nordstrom.

We believe that this relationship with Jimmy Choo offers a perfect fit with our strategy of expanding our brand portfolio to include new universes and represents an important milestone in our development. This brand possesses the quintessential qualities to ensure the ambitious development of fragrance lines that will be supported by significant advertising commitments over the coming years.

In January 2011, our first fragrance under the Jimmy Choo brand was launched in select distribution for the United Kingdom and the United States, and we anticipate this signature scent will roll out globally in the Spring of 2011.

MONTBLANC — In January 2010 we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement commencing on July 1, 2010 and expiring on December 31, 2020, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance related products under the Montblanc brand.

Montblanc has achieved a world-renowned position in the luxury segment and has become a purveyor of exclusive products which reflect today’s exacting demands for timeless design, tradition and master craftsmanship. In the past few years, Montblanc’s product range has been expanded to Swiss made watches, male accessories and female jewelry, luxury leather goods and eyewear.

Through its leadership positions in writing instruments, watches and leather goods, promising growth outlook in women's jewelry, active presence in more than 70 countries, network of more than 350 boutiques worldwide and high standards of product design and quality, Montblanc offers our Company growth potential for development in fragrances and ancillary products. We believe this license with the more than 100-year-old luxury brand will further strengthen our prospects for continued expansion in the selective perfume market. Montblanc fragrances are currently distributed in 50 countries worldwide.

On July 1, 2010 we commenced distribution of Montblanc’s legacy fragrances, and have a new Montblanc fragrance planned for a Spring 2011 launch date.

PAUL SMITH — We signed an exclusive license agreement with Paul Smith in December 1998, our first designer fragrance, for the creation, manufacture and worldwide distribution of Paul Smith perfumes and cosmetics. In July 2008 we extended this license for the Paul Smith brand for an additional seven years through December 31, 2017 on comparable terms and conditions.

Paul Smith is an internationally renowned British designer who creates fashion with a clear identity. Paul Smith has a modern style which combines elegance, inventiveness and a sense of humor and enjoys a loyal following, especially in the UK and Japan. Fragrances include: Paul Smith, Paul Smith Extrême, the men’s fragrance Paul Smith Story, and Paul Smith Rose. In September 2009 we launched Paul Smith Man.

During the second half of the 2010 we unveiled a new men’s fragrance for Paul Smith, Paul smith Man 2. In the Spring of 2011, we will debut yet another Paul Smith fragrance family.

S.T. DUPONT — In June 1997 we signed an exclusive license agreement with S.T. Dupont which we extended in 2006 until June 30, 2011, for the creation, manufacture and worldwide distribution of S.T. Dupont perfumes. Fragrances include: S.T. Dupont Paris, S.T. Dupont Essence Pure, L’Eau de S.T. Dupont, S.T. Dupont Noir (launched in 2006), which was popular in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. During 2007 S.T. Dupont Blanc, a women’s fragrance was introduced, and in 2008, we launched S.T. Dupont Passenger. During 2009, we brought S.T. Dupont Rose to market along with S.T. Dupont Intense, and in 2010 we released a new women’s fragrance line S.T. Dupont Miss Dupont.

BOUCHERON – In December 2010, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrance and related bath and body products under the Boucheron brand and related trademarks effective on January 1, 2011. The term of the license expires on December 31, 2025, but will be automatically renewed for a five (5) year term expiring on December 31, 2030 if certain sales targets are met in 2024.

Pursuant to the license agreement, we will work closely with Boucheron to capitalize on the brand’s ultra-luxury positioning in high-end jewelry, and to build on the Boucheron's unique position in the jewelry world. Boucheron has been a prestige brand for over 150 years with a reputation for trendsetting in luxury jewelry. Boucheron is a well-known brand that will contribute to our continuing strategy for developing the ultra-luxury sector.

Boucheron is the French jeweler "par excellence". Founded by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, the House has produced some of the world’s most beautiful and precious creations. Today Boucheron creates jewelry and timepieces and, under license from global brand leaders, fragrances and sunglasses. Currently Boucheron operates through over 40 boutiques worldwide as well as its new e-commerce site.

The transfer of existing inventory from the former licensee was completed early in 2011 and the development of a new fragrance is underway for an anticipated 2012 launch. Plans call for Interparfums Luxury Brands, a recently formed United States subsidiary of Inter Parfums SA, to handle distribution of the brand in the U.S.

Prestige Skin Care & Cosmetics

BURBERRY — In July 2010, Burberry Beauty, the nearly 100 SKU color cosmetic collection began its rollout to approximately 30 major retail locations globally, including Harrods in London and five Nordstrom locations in the U.S., Holt Renfrew in Canada, Galeries Lafayette in France and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong. The launch of this cosmetics line required a significant investment in the first year to develop the product, build cosmetic counters, hire and train personnel. We believe the Burberry Beauty line is an important step to reach new customers and increase brand exposure worldwide.

Preliminary plans for 2011 call for additional products to be rolled out throughout the year and distribution is expected to be expanded by approximately 30 additional retail outlets. We are currently reviewing the results of the 2010 launch as well as the anticipated financial commitment which may be necessary in order to determine the appropriate level of distribution for Burberry Beauty in the years to come.

NICKEL — Established in 1996, Nickel has developed two innovative concepts in the world of cosmetics: spas exclusively for male customers and skin care products for men. The Nickel skin care products for the face and body are sold through prestige department and specialty stores primarily in France, the balance of Western Europe and in the United States, as well as through our men’s spas in Paris and New York and our licensed spa in London.

Our current focus is on skin care products and we have launched several new skin care categories under the brand name. We intend to continue to develop new and innovative skincare products under the Nickel brand in an attempt to grow the business.

Specialty Retail Products

Specialty retail has become an important part of our overall business, and our United States operations are continuing to expand the global distribution of the specialty retail brands with which we have partnered. In addition, we have been approached by other specialty retailers to determine if there is interest in establishing a relationship whereby we would design, produce and manufacture fragrance and fragrance related products similar to our existing relationships with specialty retailers. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any similar future arrangements, or if we do, that any such arrangement would be on terms favorable to us or would be successful.

In connection with our specialty retail agreements in our United States operations, we design, produce and manufacture fragrance and fragrance related products for brand name specialty retailers, primarily in their retail stores. Our initial agreement with The Gap, Inc. covered the Gap and Banana Republic brands in the United States and Canada. Although the initial term of this agreement expired on August 31, 2009, we had entered into a series of short-term extension agreements to continue the relationship as it previously existed while we were in discussions with The Gap, Inc. for a formal extension of the agreement. In March 2010, we signed a new specialty retail agreement with The Gap, Inc. covering the Gap and Banana Republic brands in the United States and Canada, with terms and conditions similar to those of the original agreement. This new agreement expires December 31, 2011.

In April 2008 we expanded our current relationship with The Gap Inc. to include a licensing agreement for international distribution of personal care products through Gap and Banana Republic brand stores as well as select specialty and department stores outside the United States, including duty-free and other travel related retailers through December 31, 2011.

We are currently in discussion with The Gap Inc. on potential renewals of the agreements.

We also have agreements in place for Brooks Brothers, New York & Company, bebe Stores, Nine West and Betsey Johnson specialty retail brands. We are responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging and manufacturing under all of those brands. Our exclusive agreements with specialty retailers run through the following dates:

Brand Name		Expiration Date

The Gap Inc.		December 31, 2011
Brooks Brothers		December 31, 2013, plus a 5-year optional term if certain sales targets are met
New York & Company		October 8, 2012
Bebe Stores		June 30, 2014, plus three, 3-year optional terms, if certain sales targets are met
Nine West		December 31, 2016, plus two consecutive 3-year optional terms if certain conditions are met
Betsey Johnson		December 31, 2015 plus a 5-year optional term if certain conditions are met

In addition, our agreements for the Brooks Brothers, bebe, Nine West and Betsey Johnson brands include a license for our worldwide sales to select third party retailers and distributors, in return for royalty payments and certain advertising expenditures as are customary in our industry.

For competitive reasons we do not disclose certain commercial or financial terms in these agreements, such as specific percentage royalty rates or percentage of net sales for minimum advertising requirements, as well as the specific dollar amount of royalties, minimum advertising expenses and minimum sales requirements. With respect to each item that relates to financial information, the aggregate amounts of such items are taken into account in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Further, we believe that all financial information omitted is commercially reasonable and as such the specific percentages or dollar amounts are not material. Based upon the foregoing, we have filed confidential treatment applications for such agreements that we have filed as material contracts, which have been routinely granted.

Gap and Banana Republic

In July 2005, we entered into an exclusive agreement with The Gap, Inc. to develop, produce, manufacture and distribute fragrance, personal care and home fragrance products for Gap and Banana Republic brand names to be sold in Gap and Banana Republic retail stores in the United States and Canada. In March 2006, the agreement was amended to include fragrance, personal care and home fragrance products for Gap Outlet and Banana Republic Factory Stores in the United States and Canada.

In September 2006, we launched the Banana Republic Discover Collection, a family of five fragrances, we developed and supply to Banana Republic’s North American stores. The initial collection consisted of three scents for women and two for men and in 2007 two additional fragrances were added.

During 2007, we had a staged rollout of new products to Gap’s North American stores, including a higher end collection of fragrances for men and women as well as a men’s fragrance and grooming products.

In 2008 we expanded our current relationship with Gap Inc. to include a licensing agreement for international distribution of personal care products created for the Gap and Banana Republic brands. The agreement took effect as of July 1, 2007 and expires December 31, 2011. We entered into this license agreement to capitalize on cross-border brand awareness of Gap’s iconic American style and Banana Republic’s affordable luxury, which we have interpreted into a brand-specific assortment of fragrance, home fragrance, bath and body, and grooming products. In addition, our long-established relationships with distributors in over 120 countries, and our current infrastructure enabled us to rollout Gap and Banana Republic products to select department stores, perfumeries, travel retailers, military bases and other appropriate retail outlets around the world.

In 2009, the Gap scent, Close, was launched at approximately 550 Gap stores and 175 Gap Body stores nationwide. International distribution began in the Fall of 2009, including an exclusive launch at 240 Sephora doors in Europe. Also during 2009, for the Banana Republic brand, we debuted Republic of Women and Republic of Men.

In 2010, two Gap scents were launched, Stay and Core, along with additional ancillary products and holiday gift sets. For the Banana Republic brand, we introduced brand extensions for the Discover and Republic of Men and Republic of Women collections.

As we look to our plans for 2011, for the Banana Republic brand, a new women’s scent, Wildbloom, is now in stores and additional brand extensions for the Discover and Republic of Men and Republic of Women collections are being prepared. Building upon the success of the Gap brand’s Close and Stay fragrances, a third women’s signature scent and a new men’s scent are planned. We will also add more lip color and lip care products into the Gap beauty mix, along with their first nail color products.

Brooks Brothers

In November 2007, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Retail Brand Alliance, Inc. covering the design, manufacture and supply of personal care products for men and women to be sold at Brooks Brothers locations in the United States as well as a licensing agreement covering Brooks Brothers stores and specialty and department stores outside the United States and duty free and other travel-related retailers. In addition to new product development, we have assumed responsibility for the production and supply of existing Brooks Brothers fragrance and related personal care products. In the United States, we are responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging design and manufacturing while Brooks Brothers is responsible for marketing, advertising and in-store sales.

In November 2008, we shipped the Brooks Brothers New York collection for men and women to Brooks Brothers U.S. stores. In addition, a new Brooks Brothers fragrance called Black Fleece, was launched in the fall of 2009.

For 2010, we commenced international distribution of Brooks Brothers products, and in the fourth quarter of 2010, Brooks Brothers Madison, a scent for young women, was shipped to Brooks Brothers stores. Also, a trio of scents for the brand’s haute Black Fleece label, Black Fleece Red, White, & Blue collection were unveiled in the Fall of 2010.

New York & Company

In April 2007 we signed an exclusive agreement with New York & Company, Inc. under which we design and manufacture a personal care products sold at the New York & Company retail locations and on their website. Pursuant to the agreement, we are responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging and manufacturing while New York & Company is responsible for marketing and selling in its stores.

New York & Company has achieved success by building its brand and loyal customer base around clothing and accessories that are ‘trendy, affordable, comfortable and sexy for real women and with real lives’. The products that we developed are designed for the target New York & Company customer, the fashion-conscious, value-sensitive women between the ages of 25 and 45. We launched a fragrance for New York & Company in 2009 and we supply their stores with color cosmetic products.

bebe Stores

In July 2008 we entered into an exclusive six-year worldwide agreement with bebe Stores, Inc., under which we design, manufacture and supply fragrance, bath and body products and color cosmetics for company-owned bebe stores in the United States and Canada, as well as select specialty and department stores worldwide. We have incorporated bebe’s signature look into fragrance and cosmetics for the brand’s strong, hip, sexy, and sophisticated clientele.

The color cosmetics we developed and produced for bebe stores were launched at more than 200 bebe United States stores and, our bebe signature fragrance was unveiled at bebe stores in the U.S. in August 2009, which was followed by worldwide distribution later in the third quarter. In addition, in September 2009 our bebe signature fragrance debuted at approximately 300 Dillard’s stores. The launch was supported with a print advertising program as well as outdoor advertising on billboards and bus kiosks. Dillard’s has also made a strong commitment to the bebe launch as a featured fragrance in its multi-page advertising insert in several Conde Nast publications plus inclusion in its holiday catalog.

Following the successful launch and global distribution of the bebe signature fragrance that began last summer in 2009, the second scent, bebe Sheer debuted at bebe stores doors in North America in 2010, and at other retailers including Dillard’s and Ulta. International distribution is also underway in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. A third bebe scent is in the works for 2011.

Nine West

In July 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Nine West Development Corporation for the creation, production, marketing and global distribution of women’s fragrances under the Nine West brand. The agreement, which runs through December 31, 2016, contains a provision for further renewal if certain conditions are met. The agreement also provides for direct sales to Nine West retail stores in the United States, as well as a licensing component, enabling us to sell women's fragrances to better department stores and specialty retailers worldwide. Plans call for our first Nine West fragrance launch in 2011.

Under the agreement, the initial Nine West signature fragrance will be marketed and sold globally in better department stores, specialty retailers and Nine West retail stores, and we anticipate the initial launch beginning in fall 2011. Nine West is currently sold in 59 countries with flagship stores in leading cities, including New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing.

Nine West is a subsidiary of Jones Apparel Group, Inc., which is a leading designer, marketer and wholesaler of branded apparel, footwear and accessories. We believe that Nine West’s global brand recognition is an ideal platform for the development of a successful fragrance and an excellent addition to our premier portfolio.

Betsey Johnson

New York designer Betsey Johnson joined forces with Chantal Bacon in 1978 and started the Betsey Johnson label, as it is known today. Her commitment to remain true to her one-of-a-kind vision has afforded continued success in the clothing fashion industry for over 30 years. Starting in 2004, the Betsey Johnson label expanded as a lifestyle brand with the introduction of intimates, handbags and leather goods, footwear, watches, jewelry, eyewear, swimwear, legwear and outerwear. Today there are over sixty-five Betsey Johnson stores worldwide as well as an established wholesale business in international markets.

We believe Betsey Johnson fashion is forever feminine, sometimes whimsical but always recognizable. We envision building an upscale fragrance and beauty enterprise around the qualities that have defined and redefined the Betsey Johnson label for over 30 years. Our first product launch under the Betsey Johnson brand occurred in the second half of 2010 with a new take on the designer’s vintage fragrance exclusively for Betsey Johnson stores and a select retailer, as well as a new fragrance collection debuting in 2011.

Other Specialty Retail

During 2010, we also developed two programs for Anthropologie stores, Happ & Stahns and the LeLabo collection, both of which have made their debut in 2010.

Mass Market Products

Our mass market products are comprised of fragrances and fragrance related products. We produce a variety of alternative designer fragrances and personal care products that sell at a substantial discount from their brand name counterparts. Our alternative designer fragrances are similar in scent to highly advertised designer fragrances that are marketed at a higher retail price. Our mass market fragrance brands include several proprietary brand names as well as a license for the Jordache brand. We also market our Aziza line of low priced eye shadow kits, mascara, and pencils, focusing on the young teen market and a line of health and beauty aids under our Intimate and Johnson Parker brands, including shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion and baby oil. All of these products are distributed to the same mass market retailers and discount chains.

Business Strategy

Focus on prestige beauty brands. Prestige beauty brands are expected contribute significantly to our growth as it represents 88% of total business in 2010. We focus on developing and launching quality fragrances utilizing internationally renowned brand names. By identifying and concentrating in the most receptive market segments and territories where our brands are known, and executing highly targeted launches that capture the essence of the brand, we have had a history of successful launches. Certain fashion designers and other licensors choose Inter Parfums as a partner because our Company’s size enables us to work more closely with them in the product development process as well as our successful track record.

Grow portfolio brands through new product development and marketing. We grow through the creation of fragrance family extensions within the existing brands in our portfolio. Every year or two we create a new family of fragrances for each brand in our portfolio. We frequently introduce “seasonal” fragrances as well. With new introductions, we leverage our ability and experience to gauge trends in the market and further leverage the brand name into different product families in order to maximize sales and profit potential. We have had success in introducing new fragrance families (sub-brands, or flanker brands) within our brand franchises. Furthermore, we promote the smooth and consistent performance of our prestige perfume operations through knowledge of the market, detailed analysis of the image and potential of each brand name, a “good dose” of creativity and a highly professional approach to international distribution channels.

Continue to add new brands to our portfolio, through new licenses or acquisitions. Prestige brands are the core of our business and we intend to add new prestige beauty brands to our portfolio. Over the past decade, we have built our portfolio of well-known prestige brands through acquisitions and new license agreements. We intend to further build on our success in prestige fragrances and pursue new licenses and acquire new brands to strengthen our position in the prestige beauty market. We identify prestige brands that can be developed and marketed into a full and varied product families and, with our technical knowledge and practical experience gained over time, take licensed brand names through all phases of concept development, manufacturing, and marketing.

Expand existing portfolio into new categories. We intend to continue to broaden our product offering beyond the fragrance category and offer other fragrance related products and personal care products such as skin care, cosmetics and hair care under some of our existing brands. We believe such product offerings meet customer needs and further strengthen customer loyalty. We also plan to draw upon the skin care product expertise that the Nickel team brings, as we explore other opportunities in the treatment side of the beauty business beyond the Nickel brand.

In July 2010, Burberry Beauty, the nearly 100 SKU color cosmetic collection, began its rollout to approximately 30 major retail locations globally, including Harrods in London and five Nordstrom locations in the U.S., Holt Renfrew in Canada, Galeries Lafayette in France and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong. The launch of this cosmetics line required a significant investment in the first year to develop the product, build cosmetic counters, hire and train personnel. We believe the Burberry Beauty line is an important step to reach new customers and increase brand exposure worldwide. Preliminary plans call for additional products to be rolled out throughout 2011 and distribution is expected to be expanded by approximately 30 additional retail outlets. We are currently reviewing the results of the 2010 launch as well as the anticipated financial commitment which may be necessary in order to determine the appropriate level of distribution for Burberry Beauty in the years to come.

Continue to build global distribution footprint. Our business is a global business and we intend to continue to build our global distribution footprint. In order to adapt to changes in the environment and our business, we have modified our distribution model and have formed and are operating joint ventures or distribution subsidiaries in the major markets of the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Germany for distribution of prestige fragrances.

Further, we may enter into future joint ventures arrangements or acquire distribution companies within other key markets to distribute certain of our prestige brands. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any future joint venture arrangements or acquire distribution companies on terms favorable to us, or if we do, that any such transaction will be successful. We believe that in certain markets vertical integration of our distribution network is one of the keys to future growth of our company, and ownership of such distribution should enable us to better serve our customers’ needs in local markets and adapt more quickly as situations may determine.

Build specialty retail business. We believe the beauty industry has experienced a significant growth in specialty retail, and we now have agreements in place for the following brands, Gap and Banana Republic, New York & Company, Brooks Brothers, bebe, Nine West and Betsey Johnson. We are responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging and manufacturing under all of those brands. We also recently commenced product development to supply fragrances for Anthropologie stores, catalog and its internet business on an as needed and when ordered basis. Gap, Banana Republic, New York & Company, Retail Brand Alliance (for Brooks Brothers), bebe Stores, Inc., Anthropologie, Nine West and Betsey Johnson are innovative specialty retailers which offer a variety of lifestyle merchandise to highly defined customer niches, and are each responsible for marketing and selling the fragrance and fragrance related products we produce for their respective stores.

In addition, we have been approached by other specialty retailers to determine if there is interest in establishing a relationship whereby we would design, produce and manufacture fragrance and fragrance related products similar to our existing relationships with specialty retailers. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any similar future arrangements on terms favorable to us, or if we do, that any such arrangements will be successful.

Production and Supply

The stages of the development and production process for all fragrances are as follows:

·	Simultaneous discussions with perfume designers and creators (includes analysis of esthetic and olfactory trends, target clientele and market communication approach);

·	Concept choice;

·	Produce mock-ups for final acceptance of bottles and packaging;

·	Receive bids from component suppliers (glass makers, plastic processors, printers, etc.) and packaging companies;

·	Choose our suppliers;

·	Schedule production and packaging;

·	Issue component purchase orders;

·	Follow quality control procedures for incoming components; and

·	Follow packaging and inventory control procedures.

Suppliers who assist us with product development include:

·	Independent perfumery design companies (Federico Restrepo, Fabien Baron, Aesthete, Ateliers Dinand);

·	Perfumers (IFF, Firmenich, Robertet, Givaudan, Takasago) which create a fragrance consistent with our expectations and, that of the fragrance designers and creators;

·	Contract manufacturers of components such as glassware (Saint Gobain, Saverglass, Pochet, Nouvelles Verreries de Momignie), caps (MT Packaging, Codiplas, Risdon, Newburgh) or boxes (Printor Packaging, Draeger);

·	Production specialists who carry out packaging (MF Production, Brand, CCI, IKI Manufacturing) or logistics (SAGA for storage, order preparation and shipment).

For our prestige products, approximately 80% of component and production needs are purchased from approximately 50 suppliers out of a total of over 160 active suppliers. The suppliers' accounts for our European operations are primarily settled in euro and for our United States operations, suppliers' accounts are primarily settled in U.S. dollars. The components for our specialty retail products are sourced and our specialty retail products are primarily produced and filled in the United States, and our mass market products are manufactured, produced or filled in the United States or China.

Marketing and Distribution

Prestige Products

Our prestige products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world through a selective distribution network. For the majority of our international distribution of prestige products, we contract with independent distribution companies specializing in luxury goods. In each country, we designate anywhere from one to three distributors on an exclusive basis for one or more of our name brands. We also distribute our prestige products through a variety of duty-free operators, such as airports and airlines and select vacation destinations.

As our business is a global business, we intend to continue to build our global distribution footprint. In order to adapt to changes in the environment and our business, we have modified our distribution model, and during the first half of 2007 we formed and presently operate through our distribution subsidiaries in the major markets of the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Germany for distribution of prestige fragrances. In addition, during 2010 we formed Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of our French subsidiary Inter Parfums SA, for distribution of prestige brands in the United States. It has also entered into an agreement with Clarins Fragrance Group US (a Division of Clarins Group) effective January 1, 2011. Shipments to these subsidiaries are not recognized as sales until that merchandise is sold by our distribution subsidiary to its customers.

Further, we may enter into future joint ventures arrangements or acquire distribution companies within other key markets to distribute certain of our licensed prestige brands. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any future joint venture arrangements or acquire distribution companies on terms favorable to us, or if we do, that any such transaction will be successful. We believe that in certain markets vertical integration of our distribution network is one of the keys to future growth of our company, and ownership of such distribution should enable us to better serve our customers’ needs in local markets and adapt more quickly as situations may determine.

Our third party distributors vary in size depending on the number of competing brands they represent. This extensive and diverse network together with our own distribution subsidiaries provides us with a significant presence in over 120 countries around the world. Sales to our former U.S. distributor represented 8%, 11% and 12% of consolidated net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Approximately 35% of our prestige fragrance net sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, we engage in a program of hedging foreign currencies to minimize the risk arising from operations.

The business of our European operations has become increasingly seasonal due to the timing of shipments by our majority-owned distribution subsidiaries to their customers, which are weighted to the second half of the year.

Distribution in France of our prestige products is carried out by a sales team who oversee some 1,200 points of sale including, retail perfumers (chain stores) such as

· Sephora

· Marionnaud

· Nocibé

· Galeries Lafayette

· Printemps

or specialized independent points of sale. Approximately 90% of prestige product sales in France are made to approximately 15 customers out of a total of over 1,200 active accounts.

Specialty Retail and Mass Market Products

We do not presently market and distribute Gap, Banana Republic, New York & Company or Brooks Brothers specialty retail products to third parties in the United States. Marketing and distribution for such brands are the responsibility of the brand owners which market and sell the products we produce in their own retail locations. However, with respect to our agreements with bebe Stores, Inc., Nine West and Betsey Johnson, we distribute or plan to distribute product to their stores as well as to other retail outlets and department stores within the United States.

With respect to Gap, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, bebe brands, Nine West and Betsey Johnson, we distribute or plan to distribute product to specialty retailers and department stores outside the United States including duty free and other travel-related retailers. We utilize our in house sales team to reach our distributors and customers outside the United States.

In addition, the business of our United States operations has become increasingly seasonal as shipments to our specialty retail customers are weighted toward the second half of the year.

Mass merchandisers are the target customers for our mass market products. In addition, our mass market products are sold to wholesale distributors, specialty store chains, and to multiple locations of accessory, jewelry and clothing outlets. These products are sold through a highly efficient and dedicated in-house sales team and reach approximately 10,000 retail outlets throughout the United States and abroad.

Our 140,000 square foot distribution center in New Jersey has provided us with the opportunity and resources to meet our customers' requirements.

Geographic Areas

Export sales from United States operations were approximately $25.7 million, $14.0 million and $22.5 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Consolidated net sales to customers by region are as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009		2008

North America	$	91,200	$	96,800	$	108,600
Europe		211,800		184,900		204,100

Competition

The market for fragrances and fragrance related products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing preferences and demands. The prestige fragrance industry is highly concentrated around certain major players with resources far greater than ours. We compete with an original strategy— regular and methodical development of quality fragrances for a growing portfolio of internationally renowned brand names.

In the specialty retail market in the U.S., we primarily sell products or plan to sell products directly to select specialty retailers such as Gap and Banana Republic, New York & Company, Brooks Brothers, bebe, Nine West and Betsey Johnson, so we do not have any direct competition, other than third parties who may also have the knowhow and capacity to develop, manufacture and ship product to specialty retailers. However, such special retail stores compete directly with other specialty retail stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Victoria’s Secret, which thereby indirectly compete with us.

We compete in the mass market for fragrances, color cosmetics health and beauty aids primarily on the basis of price. At the present time, we are aware of approximately four established companies which market alternative designer fragrances similar to ours. Many of our competitors of both mass market color cosmetics (such as L’Oreal and Revlon) and health and beauty aids (such as Procter and Gamble) have substantial financial resources as well as national and international marketing campaigns. However, we believe that consumer recognition of our two brands, Aziza for mass market color cosmetics, and Intimate for health and beauty aids, together with competitive pricing of our products, helps us compete in those markets.

Inventory

We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers based on internal estimates of anticipated need for finished goods, which enables us to meet production requirements for finished goods. We generally deliver product to customers within 72 hours of the receipt of their orders.

Product Liability

We maintain product liability coverage in an amount of $5,000,000. Based upon our experience, we believe this coverage is adequate and covers substantially all of the exposure we may have with respect to our products. We have never been the subject of any material product liability claims.

Government Regulation

A fragrance is defined as a “cosmetic” under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. A fragrance must comply with the labeling requirements of this FDC Act as well as the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act and its regulations. Some of our color cosmetic products may contain menthol and are also classified as a “drug”. Under U.S. law, a product may be classified as both a cosmetic and a drug. Additional regulatory requirements for products which are “drugs” include additional labeling requirements, registration of the manufacturer and the semi-annual update of a drug list.

Our fragrances are subject to the approval of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as a result of the use of specially denatured alcohol. So far we have not experienced any difficulties in obtaining the required approvals.

Our fragrances that are manufactured in France are subject to certain regulatory requirements of the European Union, but as of the date of this report, we have not experienced any material difficulties in complying with such requirements.

Trademarks

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our trademarks and brand names. We own, or have licenses or other rights to use, the material trademark and brand name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our major products both in the United States and in other countries where such products are principally sold. Therefore, trademark and brand name protection is important to our business. Although most of the brand names we license, use or own are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or brand name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and brand names may be substantial.

Under various license and other agreements we have the right to use certain registered trademarks throughout the world (except as otherwise noted) for fragrances and fragrance related products. These registered trademarks include:

Burberry

Van Cleef & Arpels

Jimmy Choo

Montblanc

Boucheron

Gap

Banana Republic

New York & Company (U.S. only)

Brooks Brothers

bebe

Nine West

Betsey Johnson

S.T. Dupont

Paul Smith

Jordache

In addition, we are the registered trademark owner of several trademarks for fragrances and fragrance related products, including:

Lanvin

Intimate

Aziza

Nickel

Regal Collections, Royal Selections and Apple

Employees

As of March 1, 2011 we had 271 full-time employees world-wide. Of these, 180 are full-time employees in Paris, with 71 employees engaged in sales activities and 109 in administrative, production and marketing activities. In the United States, 91 employees work full-time, and of these, 35 were engaged in sales activities and 56 in administrative, production and marketing activities. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider these risk factors before you decide to purchase or sell shares of our common stock. These factors could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made by us. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We are dependent upon Burberry for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of this license will have a material adverse effect on us.

Burberry is our most significant license, as sales of Burberry products represented 53%, 57% and 56% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We have been the worldwide, exclusive licensee for Burberry fragrances since our initial license agreement in 1993. Such license agreement was superseded by our subsequent license agreement dated October 12, 2004 (the "License Agreement").

In December 2010 we reported that Inter Parfums, S.A. and Burberry entered into an amendment to the license agreement. Such amendment extends the term of the license for one (1) year until December 31, 2017, and also extends for one (1) year the time to exercise the five-year optional term of the license that requires the mutual consent of Burberry and Inter Parfums, S.A., which must be exercised, if at all, prior to December 31, 2015. If the optional term is exercised, then the license would expire on December 31, 2022. The amendment also extends the time for Burberry to exercise its right to buy back the license for one (1) year from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

This license is subject to Inter Parfums, S.A. making required royalty payments (which are subject to certain minimums), minimum advertising and promotional expenditures and meeting minimum sales requirements. This License Agreement provides for termination on a change in control of either, Inter Parfums, S.A., the licensee, or Inter Parfums, Inc., the guarantor.

The loss of this license will have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, as the market price of our stock is related to current and estimated future operating results, the loss of this license would most likely cause a significant decline in the market price of our common stock.

We are dependent upon the continuation and renewal of various licenses and other agreements for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of one or more licenses or agreements could have a material adverse effect on us.

All of our rights relating to prestige fragrance brands, other than Lanvin, as well as all of our specialty retail brands, are derived from licenses or other agreements from unaffiliated third parties and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses and other agreements on terms favorable to us. Each license or agreement is for a specific term and may have additional optional terms. In addition, each license is subject to us making required royalty payments (which are subject to certain minimums), minimum advertising and promotional expenditures and meeting minimum sales requirements. Other agreements are generally subject to meeting minimum sales requirements. Just as the loss of a license or other significant agreement may have a material adverse effect on us, a renewal on less favorable terms may also negatively impact us.

Our business could be adversely affected by a prolonged downturn or recession in the United States, Europe or other countries in which we conduct business.

A prolonged economic downturn or recession in the United States, Europe or any of the other countries in which we do significant business could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, such a downturn or recession could adversely impact (i) the level of spending by our ultimate consumers, (ii) our ability to collect accounts receivable on a timely basis from certain customers, (iii) our ability of certain suppliers to fill our orders for raw materials, packaging or co-packed finished goods on a timely basis, and (iv) the mix of our product sales.

Consumers may reduce discretionary purchases of our products as a result of a general economic downturn.

We believe that the high degree of global economic uncertainty is expected to continue to have a negative effect on consumer confidence, demand and spending. In addition, we believe that consumer spending on beauty products is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Accordingly, we may experience sustained periods of declines in sales during periods of economic downturn as it may affect customers’ purchasing patterns. In addition, a general economic downturn may result in reduced traffic in our customers’ stores which may, in turn, result in reduced net sales to our customers. Any resulting material reduction in our sales could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Uncertainties and continued deterioration in global credit markets could negatively impact suppliers, customers and consumers, which could have an adverse impact on our business as a whole.

Uncertainties and continued deterioration in the global credit markets could negatively impact our suppliers, customers and consumers which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on our business. While, thus far, uncertainties in global credit markets have not significantly affected our access to credit due to our strong credit rating, a further deterioration in global financial markets could make future financing difficult or more expensive. Such lack of credit or lack of credit on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

If our intangible assets, such as trademarks and goodwill, become impaired we may be required to record a significant non-cash charge to earnings which would negatively impact our results of operations.

Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, we review our intangible assets, including our trademarks licenses and goodwill, for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable due to factors such as reduced estimates of future cash flows, including those associated with the specific brands to which intangibles relate, or slower growth rates in our industry. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a long-term financial outlook of our operations and the specific brands to which the intangible assets relate. However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates and the recorded value of the intangibles. Any significant impairment to our intangible assets would result in a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which the impairment is determined to exist.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, specifically trademarks and brand names, our ability to compete could be negatively impacted.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with trademarks and brand names that we license, use or own. We own, or have licenses or other rights to use, the material trademark and brand name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our major products both in the United States and in other countries where such products are principally sold. Therefore, trademark and brand name protection is important to our business. Although most of the brand names we license, use or own are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or brand name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and brand names may be substantial.

The success of our products is dependent on public taste.

Our revenues are substantially dependent on the success of our products, which depends upon, among other matters, pronounced and rapidly changing public tastes, factors which are difficult to predict and over which we have little, if any, control. In addition, we have to develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs in order to sell our fragrances and fragrance related products. If we are not able to develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs, then such failure will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to extreme competition in the fragrance industry.

The market for fragrances and fragrance related products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing market preferences and demands. Many of our competitors in this market (particularly in the prestige fragrance industry) are larger than we are and have greater financial resources than are available to us, potentially allowing them greater operational flexibility. Our success in the prestige fragrance industry is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate original strategies and develop quality products that are in accord with ongoing changes in the market.

In the specialty retail market in the U.S. we primarily sell products or plan to sell products directly to select specialty retailers such as Gap and Banana Republic, New York & Company, Brooks Brothers, bebe, Nine West and Betsey Johnson, so we do not have any direct competition. However, such special retail stores compete directly with other specialty retail stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Victoria’s Secret, which thereby indirectly compete with us.

Our success with mass market fragrance and fragrance related products is dependent upon our ability to competitively price quality products and to quickly and efficiently develop and distribute new products.

If there is insufficient demand for our existing fragrances and fragrance related products, or if we do not develop future strategies and products that withstand competition or we are unsuccessful in competing on price terms, then we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are dependent upon specialty retailers to sell products that we develop for their retail stores.

We have agreements in place for specialty retail brands, Gap and Banana Republic, New York & Company, Brooks Brothers, bebe, Nine West and Betsey Johnson. We are responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging and manufacturing under all of those brands. We also develop and supply fragrances for Anthropologie stores, catalog and its internet business on an as needed and when ordered basis. These specialty retailers are responsible for marketing and selling fragrance and fragrance related products we produced in their respective stores. If the sales and marketing efforts of those specialty retailers are not successful for the products that we have developed, then such unsuccessful sales and marketing efforts could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

If we are unable to acquire or license additional brands, or obtain the required financing for these agreements and arrangements, then the growth of our business could be impaired.

Our future expansion through acquisitions or new product distribution arrangements, if any, will depend upon the capital resources and working capital available to us. Further, in view of the global banking crisis, we may be unable to obtain financing or credit that we may require for additional licenses, acquisitions or other transactions. We may be unsuccessful in identifying, negotiating, financing and consummating such acquisitions or arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could hinder our ability to increase revenues and build our business.

We may engage in future acquisitions that we may not be able to successfully integrate or manage. These acquisitions may dilute our stockholders and cause us to incur debt and assume contingent liabilities.

We continuously review acquisition prospects that would complement our current product offerings, increase our size and geographic scope of operations or otherwise offer growth and operating efficiency opportunities. The financing, if available, for any of these acquisitions could significantly dilute our stockholders and/or result in an increase in our indebtedness. We may acquire or make investments in businesses or products in the future, and such acquisitions may entail numerous integration risks and impose costs on us, including:

difficulties in assimilating acquired operations or products, including the loss of key employees from acquired businesses;

diversion of management’s attention from our core business;

adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;

dilutive issuances of equity securities;

incurrence of substantial debt;

assumption of contingent liabilities;

incurrence of significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets and the potential impairment of acquired assets; and

incurrence of significant immediate write-offs.

Our failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are dependent upon Messrs. Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin, and the loss of their services could harm our business.

Jean Madar, our Chief Executive Officer, and Philippe Benacin, our President and Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., are responsible for day-to-day operations as well as major decisions. Termination of their relationships with us, whether through death, incapacity or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and we cannot assure you that qualified replacements can be found. We maintain key man insurance on the life of Mr. Benacin ($20.0 million). However, we cannot assure you that we would be able to retain suitable replacements for either Mr. Madar or Mr. Benacin.

Our reliance on third party manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on us.

We rely on outside sources to manufacture our fragrances and cosmetics. The failure of such third party manufacturers to deliver either components or finished goods on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we believe there are alternate manufacturers available to supply our requirements, we cannot assure you that current or alternative sources will be able to supply all of our demands on a timely basis. We do not intend to develop our own manufacturing capacity. As these are third parties over which we have little or no control, the failure of such third parties to provide components or finished goods on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our reliance on third party distributors could have a material adverse effect on us.

We sell a substantial percentage of our prestige fragrances through independent distributors specializing in luxury goods. Given the growing importance of distribution, we have begun to modify our distribution model by owning a controlling interest in our distributors within key markets. However, we have little or no control over third party distributors and the failure of such third parties to provide services on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, if we replace existing third party distributors with new third party distributors or with our own distribution arrangements, then transition issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The loss of or disruption in our distribution facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We currently have one distribution facility in Paris and one in New Jersey. The loss of one or both of those facilities, as well as the inventory stored in those facilities, would require us to find replacement facilities and assets. In addition, terrorist attacks, weather conditions, or natural disasters, could disrupt our distribution operations. If we cannot replace our distribution capacity and inventory in a timely, cost-efficient manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in laws, regulations and policies that affect our business could adversely affect our financial results.

Our business is subject to numerous laws, regulations and policies. Changes in the laws, regulations and policies, including the interpretation or enforcement thereof, that affect, or will affect, our business, including changes in accounting standards, tax laws and regulations, environmental or climate change laws, regulations or accords, trade rules and customs regulations, and the outcome and expense of legal or regulatory proceedings, and any action we may take as a result could adversely affect our financial results.

Our success depends, in part, on the quality and safety of our products.

Our success depends, in part, on the quality and safety of our products. If our products are found to be defective or unsafe, or if they otherwise fail to meet our consumers’ standards, our relationships with customers or consumers could suffer, the appeal of one or more of our brands could be diminished, and we could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The international character of our business renders us subject to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and international trade tariffs, barriers and other restrictions.

A substantial portion of our European operations’ net sales (approximately 35% in 2010) are sold in U.S. dollars. In an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, we engage in a program of cautious hedging of foreign currencies to minimize the risk arising from operations. Despite such actions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for the U.S. dollar, particularly with respect to the euro, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Possible import, export, tariff and other trade barriers, which could be imposed by the United States, other countries or the European Union might also have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our business is subject to governmental regulation, which could impact our operations.

Fragrances and fragrance related products must comply with the labeling requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act as well as the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act and their regulations. Some of our color cosmetic products may also be classified as a “drug”. Additional regulatory requirements for products which are “drugs” include additional labeling requirements, registration of the manufacturer and the semi-annual update of a drug list.

Our fragrances and fragrance related products that are manufactured in France are subject to certain regulatory requirements of the European Union, but as of the date of this report, we have not experienced any material difficulties in complying with such requirements.

However, we cannot assure you that, should we develop or market fragrances and fragrance related products with different ingredients, or should existing regulations or requirements be revised, we would not in the future experience difficulty in complying with such requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our information systems and websites may be susceptible to outages and other risks.

We have information systems that support our business processes, including product development, marketing, sales, order processing, production, distribution, finance and intracompany communications. We have Internet websites in the United States and Europe. These systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems may be vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. The occurrence of these or other events could disrupt or damage our information systems and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The trading prices of our securities periodically may rise or fall based on the accuracy of predictions of our earnings or other financial performance.

Our business planning process is designed to maximize our long-term strength, growth and profitability, not to achieve an earnings target in any particular fiscal quarter. We believe that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. At the same time, however, we recognize that it may be helpful to provide investors with guidance as to our forecast of net sales and earnings per share. Accordingly, we provided guidance as to our expected net sales and earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2011. While we generally expect to provide updates to our guidance when we report our results each fiscal quarter, we assume no responsibility to update any of our forward-looking statements at such times or otherwise. In addition, the longer-term guidance we provide is based on goals that we believe, at the time guidance is given, are reasonably attainable for growth and performance over a number of years. Such targets are more difficult to predict than our current quarter and fiscal year expectations.

In all of our public statements when we make, or update, a forward-looking statement about our sales and/or earnings expectations or expectations regarding other initiatives, we accompany such statements directly, or by reference to a public document, with a list of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those we expect. Such a list is included, among other places, in our earnings press release and in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (e.g., in our reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q). These and other factors may make it difficult for outside observers, such as research analysts, to predict what our earnings will be in any given fiscal quarter or year.

Outside analysts and investors have the right to make their own predictions of our financial results for any future period. Outside analysts, however, have access to no more material information about our results or plans than any other public investor, and we do not endorse their predictions as to our future performance. Nor do we assume any responsibility to correct the predictions of outside analysts or others when they differ from our own internal expectations. If and when we announce actual results that differ from those that outside analysts or others have been predicting, the market price of our securities could be affected. Investors who rely on the predictions of outside analysts or others when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in the prices of our securities.

We may become subject to possible liability for improper comparative advertising or “Trade Dress”.

Brand name manufacturers and sellers of brand name products may make claims of improper comparative advertising or trade dress (packaging) with respect to the likelihood of confusion between some of our mass market products and those of brand name manufacturers and sellers. They may seek damages for loss of business or injunctive relief to seek to have the use of the improper comparative advertising or trade dress halted. However, we believe that our displays and packaging constitute fair competitive advertising and are not likely to cause confusion between our products and others. Further, we have not experienced to any material degree, any of such problems to date.

Dividends

In December 2008, our board of directors authorized the continuation of our cash dividend at the then rate of $.133 per share per annum, payable $.033 on a quarterly basis. In January 2010, our board of directors authorized a 97% increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to $.065 per share, or $.26 per share on an annual basis. In January 2011 our board of directors further increased the cash dividend from $.26 per share on an annual basis to $.32 per share on an annual basis. The first quarterly cash dividend for 2011 of $.08 per share is payable on April 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2011.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the requirement of unanimous approval of the members of our board of directors for the declaration or payment of dividends, if the aggregate amount of dividends to be paid by us and our subsidiaries in any fiscal year is more than thirty percent (30%) of our annual net income for the last completed fiscal year, as indicated by our consolidated financial statements.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial ConditionAnd Results Of Operation

Overview

We produce and distribute our prestige fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners, and prestige product sales represented approximately 88% of net sales for both 2010 and 2009 and 87% of net sales for 2008. We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which include Burberry, Lanvin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jimmy Choo, Montblanc, Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont, Nickel and Boucheron, whose products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world. Shipments to our distribution subsidiaries are not recognized as sales until that merchandise is sold by our distribution subsidiary to its customers.

Our specialty retail and mass market fragrance and fragrance related products are marketed through our United States operations and represented 12% of net sales for both 2010 and 2009 and 13% of net sales for 2008. These fragrance products are sold under trademarks owned by us or pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of the Gap, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, bebe, New York & Company, Betsey Johnson, Nine West and Jordache brands.

Historically, seasonality has not been a major factor for our Company as quarterly sales fluctuations were more influenced by the timing of launches than by the third and fourth quarter holiday season. However, in certain markets where we now sell direct to retailers, seasonality is more evident. In 2007 we commenced operations of our European distribution subsidiaries in Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom, and in January 2011 we commenced operations of our United States distribution subsidiary. In addition, the introduction of our specialty retail product lines for U. S. retailers has also contributed to a concentration of sales in the second half of the year.

We grow our business in two distinct ways. First, we grow by adding new brands to our portfolio, either through new licenses or out-right acquisitions of brands. Second, we grow through the introduction of new products and supporting new and established products through advertising, merchandising and sampling as well as phasing out existing products that no longer meet the needs of our consumers. The economics of developing, producing, launching and supporting products influence our sales and operating performance each year. Our introduction of new products may have some cannibalizing effect on sales of existing products, which we take into account in our business planning.

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers which manufacture the finished good for us and ship it back to our distribution center.

As with any business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. Throughout 2010, our business continued to rebound from the global economic uncertainties that had an impact on our business in early 2009. Despite these conditions, some of which continue to exist, our results for the year ended December 31, 2010 exceeded our net sales and profitability expectations that we had at the beginning of the year.

We continue to review our plans and have taken actions to mitigate the impact and the potential impact of these conditions. We believe we have a strong brand portfolio with global reach and potential. As part of our strategy, we plan to continue to make investments behind fast-growing markets and channels to grow market share. While our business strategies are designed to strengthen our Company over the long-term, we believe the uncertainty about future market conditions, consumer spending patterns and the financial strength of some of our customers could negatively affect our net sales and operating results.

Our reported net sales are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A stronger U.S. dollar has an adverse impact on our net sales. However, earnings are less affected by a stronger dollar because in excess of 35% of net sales of our European operations are denominated in U.S. dollars, while all costs of our European operations are incurred in euro. Our Company addresses certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Recent Important Events

Burberry

In December 2010, we entered into an amendment to the Burberry license agreement dated October 12, 2004. The amendment extends the term of the license for one year until December 31, 2017, and also extends for one year the time to exercise the five-year optional term of the license that requires the mutual consent of the Company and Burberry, which now must be exercised, if at all, prior to December 31, 2015. If the optional term is exercised, then the license would expire on December 31, 2022. The amendment also extends the time for Burberry to exercise its right to buy back the license for one year from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Boucheron

In December 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Boucheron Parfums SAS to create, produce and distribute perfumes and ancillary products under the Boucheron brand. Our rights under such license agreement, which took effect on January 1, 2011 and runs through December 31, 2025, are subject to certain minimum sales, advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. We also paid an upfront entry fee of €15 million (approximately $20 million) for this license, and purchased the inventory of the former licensee for €1.7 million (approximately $2.3 million).

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

We make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These accounting policies generally require our management’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

The judgments used by management in applying critical accounting policies could be affected by a further and prolonged general deterioration in the economic environment, which could negatively influence future financial results and availability of continued financing. Specifically, subsequent evaluations of our accounts receivables, inventories, and deferred tax assets in light of the factors then prevailing, could result in significant changes in our allowance and reserve accounts in future periods, which in turn could generate significant additional charges. Similarly, the valuation of certain intangible assets could be negatively impacted by prolonged and severely depressed market conditions thus leading to the recognition of impairment losses. The following is a brief discussion of the more critical accounting policies that we employ.

Revenue Recognition

We sell our products to department stores, perfumeries, specialty retailers, mass-market retailers, supermarkets and domestic and international wholesalers and distributors. Sales of such products by our domestic subsidiaries are denominated in U.S. dollars and sales of such products by our foreign subsidiaries are primarily denominated in either euro or U.S. dollars. Accounts receivable reflect the granting of credit to these customers. We generally grant credit based upon our analysis of the customer’s financial position as well as previously established buying patterns. We recognize revenues when merchandise is shipped and the risk of loss passes to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less returns, trade discounts and allowances.

Sales Returns

Generally, we do not permit customers to return their unsold products. However, on a case-by-case basis we occasionally allow customer returns. We regularly review and revise, as deemed necessary, our estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily upon historic trends and relevant current data. We record estimated reserves for sales returns as a reduction of sales, cost of sales and accounts receivable. Returned products are recorded as inventories and are valued based upon estimated realizable value. The physical condition and marketability of returned products are the major factors we consider in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates, if factors such as economic conditions, inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Promotional Allowances

We have various performance-based arrangements with certain retailers. These arrangements primarily allow customers to take deductions against amounts owed to us for product purchases. The costs that our Company incurs for performance-based arrangements, shelf replacement costs and slotting fees are netted against revenues on our Company’s consolidated statement of income. Estimated accruals for promotions and advertising programs are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. We review and revise the estimated accruals for the projected costs for these promotions. Actual costs incurred may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from estimates if factors such as the level and success of the retailers’ programs or other conditions differ from our expectations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. We record adjustments to the cost of inventories based upon our sales forecast and the physical condition of the inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

Equipment, which includes tools and molds, is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to our business model or changes in our capital spending strategy can result in the actual useful lives differing from our estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of equipment should be shortened, we would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value, over its revised remaining useful life, thereby increasing depreciation expense. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, or market acceptance of products, could result in shortened useful lives.

We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more likely than not (i) reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its fair value or (ii) indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated using a two step process. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of that unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the second step of the process involves comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill (based on industry purchase and sale transaction data) with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized as an amount equal to the excess. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, impairment is recorded.

Goodwill relates to our Nickel skin care business, which is primarily a component of our European operations. Testing goodwill for impairment requires us to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using significant estimates and assumptions. The assumptions we make will impact the outcome and ultimate results of the testing. In making our assumptions and estimates, we use industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by management and, in certain instances, we engage third party valuation specialists to advise us. We have determined that we may be inclined to sell the Nickel business within the next few years. Therefore, as of December 31, 2009, we measured fair value of the business to be equal to the average amount offered by several potential purchasers of the Nickel business. As a result, the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded its implied fair value resulting in an impairment loss of $1.7 million in 2009. The same evaluation was performed in 2010 and no further impairment was noted. We expect Nickel brand sales to remain steady over the next few years as the result of new product launches in combination with an expected economic recovery. In estimating future sales, we use our internal budgets developed from recent sales data for existing products and planned timing of new product launches. If sales for the reporting unit decreased 10%, we could incur an additional goodwill impairment charge of €0.5 million.

To determine fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, we use an income approach, including the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The relief-from-royalty calculations require us to make a number of assumptions and estimates concerning future sales levels, market royalty rates, future tax rates and discount rates. We use this method to determine if an impairment charge is required relating to our Nickel brand trademarks. For the year ended December 31, 2009, an impairment charge relating to the Nickel trademark in the amount of $0.54 million was recorded. No impairment charge was required in 2010. We assumed a market royalty rate of 6% and a discount rate of 7.4%. The following table presents the impact a change in the following significant assumptions would have had on the calculated fair value in 2010 assuming all other assumptions remained constant:

In thousands				Increase (decrease)
	Change			to fair value

Weighted average cost of capital		+10	%	$	(219	)
Weighted average cost of capital		-10	%	$	280
Future sales levels		+10	%	$	266
Future sales levels		-10	%	$	(266	)

The fair values used in our evaluations are also estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 7.4%. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including, future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. We believe that the assumptions that we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no impairment indicators exist for our indefinite-lived assets other than the Nickel trademarks referred to above. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, we may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible asset, no impairment charge is recorded. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. We believe that the assumptions we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no impairment indicators exist for our intangible assets subject to amortization. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of long-lived assets should be shortened, we would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value (after testing for impairment as described above), over the revised remaining useful life of such asset thereby increasing amortization expense.

In determining the useful life of our Lanvin brand names and trademarks, we applied the provisions of ASC topic 350-30-35-3. The only factor that prevented us from determining that the Lanvin brand names and trademarks were indefinite life intangible assets was Item c. “Any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life”. The existence of a repurchase option in 2025 may limit the useful life of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks to the Company. However, this limitation would only take effect if the repurchase option were to be exercised and the repurchase price was paid. If the repurchase option is not exercised, then the Lanvin brand names and trademarks are expected to continue to contribute directly to the future cash flows of our Company and their useful life would be considered to be indefinite.

With respect to the application of ASC topic 350-30-35-8, the Lanvin brand names and trademarks would only have a finite life to our Company if the repurchase option were exercised, and in applying ASC topic 350-30-35-8 we assumed that the repurchase option is exercised. When exercised, Lanvin has an obligation to pay the exercise price and the Company would be required to convey the Lanvin brand names and trademarks back to Lanvin. The exercise price to be received (Residual Value) is well in excess of the carrying value of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks, therefore no amortization is required.

Derivatives

We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. This topic also requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and that they are measured at fair value.

We currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions and interest rates, as well as receivables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not utilize derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Hedge effectiveness is documented, assessed and monitored by employees who are qualified to make such assessments and monitor the instruments. Variables that are external to us such as social, political and economic risks may have an impact on our hedging program and the results thereof.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings for their realization, as well as the continued application of currently anticipated tax rates. Included in net deferred tax assets is a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, where management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the relevant jurisdiction. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will result in a reduction of net earnings at that time.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has no uncertain tax position at December 31, 2010. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

	Years ended December 31,
	2010		% Change			2009		% Change			2008
	(in millions)
European based product sales	$	404.9		12	%	$	361.7		(6	)%		$	386.4
United States based product sales		55.5		16	%		47.8		(20	)%			59.7
Total net sales	$	460.4		12	%	$	409.5		(8	)%		$	446.1

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 12% to $460.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009, net sales were down 8%. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales were actually up 18% in 2010 as the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro in 2010 as compared to the 2009 had a negative impact on reported sales. For 2009, while significant fluctuations in currency exchange rates were experienced during the year, the impact for the year as a whole was minimal.

This economic crisis was challenging for us in 2009 and was expected to continue to be challenging in 2010. However, throughout 2010, our business continued to rebound from the global economic uncertainties that had an impact on our business in early 2009. Despite these conditions, some of which continue to exist, our results for the year ended December 31, 2010 exceeded our net sales and profitability expectations that we had at the beginning of the year.

European based prestige product sales increased 12% in 2010 as compared to a decline of 6% in 2009. Considering the challenges we faced in the first half of 2009, we were very pleased with full year 2009 sales results. The global economic recession negatively affected consumer demand, which had an adverse impact on our distributors and our retail customers. Signs of a recovery from the global economic recession became apparent with improving sales trends beginning in the second half of 2009 and continuing in 2010. Sales growth throughout 2010 was due in great part to the launch and global rollout of Burberry Sport fragrances for men and women, as well as the continued strong performance of established Burberry scents. In local currency, Burberry fragrance sales which had declined 6% to €166 million in 2009 registered an increase of 11% to €185 million in 2010. All of our major prestige fragrance brands contributed to sales growth with double digit comparable increases. Lanvin, our second largest prestige brand, whose product sales were up 4% in 2009 as compared to 2008, performed extremely well in 2010 with sales in local currency aggregating €53.0 million, 31% ahead of last year lead by the continued strength of Eclat d’Arpège and Jeanne Lanvin and the launch of Marry Me!. The 2010 launch of Oriens and Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels boosted that brand’s 2010 local currency sales by 29% to €25.9 million as compared to €20.2 million in 2009 and €21.0 million in 2008.

Once again we are seeing strong sales growth of our European based prestige fragrance business in many geographic markets, especially in Asia, South America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe where 2010 comparable local currency sales rose 27%, 42%, 16% and 61%, respectively. Western Europe also saw positive results with 2010 local currency sales up 12%.

During 2010, we formed Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., (“IPLB”) a wholly-owned U.S. distribution subsidiary of Inter Parfums, S.A. Beginning on January 1, 2011, IPLB assumed all U.S. prestige fragrance distribution responsibilities in the territory. As of December 31, 2010, we reacquired, or set up a liability to reacquire, the remaining inventory of our former U. S. distributor aggregating approximately $5.7 million. Such reacquisition was accounted for as a sales return in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a result of the reacquisition of inventory and the anticipated change of distributor, the comparison of North American sales in 2010 as compared to 2009 is not meaningful.

In addition to Burberry Sport fragrances for men and women which launched early in 2010, we have committed capital to further grow our largest brand through the launch of a cosmetics line for women in approximately 30 shops around the world. The Burberry Beauty collection includes nearly 100 products for skin, lips and eyes. The launch of this beauty line, which commenced during the third quarter of 2010, required a significant investment in its first year to develop products, build cosmetic counters, hire and train personnel. We believe the Burberry Beauty line is an important step to reach new customers and increase brand exposure worldwide.

In 2010, we also created new women’s scents for our Lanvin, S.T. Dupont and Paul Smith brands. Oriens, a women’s scent for Van Cleef & Arpels launched in the first half of 2010 and we debuted a new men’s fragrance, Midnight in Paris, for the brand during the third quarter of 2010.

We are gearing up for a very active 2011 reflecting a confluence of factors, including the continued strength of our brands and worldwide distribution network, as well as ongoing improvements in the global economic climate. Our growth expectations for 2011 reflect the impact of our taking control over U.S. distribution for our prestige brands and the inclusion of the Montblanc fragrance business for a full year versus six months in 2010. In addition, we have a strong line-up of new product launches and brand extensions to drive sales growth. Early in the year, our first fragrance under the Jimmy Choo brand began select distribution in the U.K. and the U.S. and Jimmy Choo stores worldwide; the signature scent will roll out globally in the Spring. Also early in 2011 we began the integration of existing fragrance lines under our newest licensed brand, Boucheron. In addition, in the Spring we will debut our first new Montblanc fragrance for men as well as a new men’s and women’s scent for Paul Smith fragrances. Most importantly, to further strengthen the Burberry brand’s potential for sustained growth in the years ahead a major new women’s line will be launched in Fall 2011. Finally, with respect to Burberry Beauty, the color cosmetics collection, preliminary plans call for additional products to be rolled out throughout the year and distribution is expected to be expanded by approximately 30 additional retail outlets. We are currently reviewing the results of the 2010 launch as well as the anticipated financial commitment which may be necessary in order to determine the appropriate level of distribution for the Burberry Beauty in the years to come.

With respect to our United States specialty retail and mass market products, net sales increased 16% in 2010 after declining 20% in 2009. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, United States specialty retail product sales came under pressure and our U.S. operations continued to feel the effects of the global economic recession throughout most of 2009. It was expected that new product launches together with existing distribution would stem the sales decline for our U.S. operations, and that was most certainly the case as we entered the latter half of 2009. In April 2009, Close, a Gap fragrance was launched at approximately 550 Gap stores and roughly 175 Gap Body stores nationwide. International distribution began in the fall of 2009, including an exclusive launch at 240 Sephora doors in Europe. In August 2009, two new fragrances were launched at Banana Republic stores in North America with international distribution following shortly thereafter. In 2010, international distribution benefitted from the economic recovery which coincided with further expansion of new products into new territories. In 2010, two Gap scents were launched, Stay and Core, along with additional ancillary products and holiday gift sets.

Brooks Brothers Black Fleece fragrance launched domestically in the fall of 2009 with international distribution beginning in 2010. New Brooks Brothers fragrances, Madison, a scent for young women, and a trio of scents, Black Fleece Red, White & Blue, made their debut in 2010.

Our bebe signature fragrance has done especially well in overseas markets and we expanded bebe distribution into additional third party retail outlets throughout the United States in 2010. In addition, bebe Sheer, a new women’s scent debuted in 2010 along with several color cosmetic products and holiday gift sets. A third bebe scent is in the works for 2011.

Sales of mass market fragrance products, which have been in a decline for several years, saw improvement in 2010 as a result of some special programs done for select mass market retailers. We have no plans to discontinue sales to this market which aggregated approximately $21 million, $17 million and $21 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As we look into our plans for 2011, for the Banana Republic brand, a new women’s scent Wildbloom, is now in stores and brand extensions for the Discover and Republic of Men and Republic of Women collections are being prepared. Building upon the success of the Gap brand’s Close and Stay fragrances, a third women’s signature scent and a new men’s scent are planned. We will also add more lip color and lip care products into the Gap beauty mix, along with their first nail color products. We are also in the development stage for several new fragrance concepts and line extensions for our other specialty retail brands.

We have been actively pursuing other new business opportunities and in July 2010, we entered into exclusive worldwide agreement for both the Betsey Johnson and Nine West brands. For Betsey Johnson we will design, manufacture and sell fragrance, color cosmetics as well as other personal care products across a broad retail spectrum. The agreement encompasses both direct sales to global Betsey Johnson stores and an e-commerce site, as well as a licensing component, enabling us to sell these fragrance and beauty products to specialty and department stores as well as other retail outlets worldwide. For Nine West, we are charged with the creation, production, marketing and global distribution of women’s fragrances under the Nine West brand. The agreement also provides for direct sales to Nine West retail stores in the United States, as well as a licensing component, enabling us to sell women's fragrances to better department stores and specialty retailers worldwide. Plans for both brands call for new fragrance launches in 2011.

In addition, we are actively pursuing other new business opportunities. However, we cannot assure that any new licenses, acquisitions or specialty retail agreements will be consummated.

Gross Profit Margins

	Years ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
	(in millions)

Net sales	$	460.4		$	409.5		$	446.1
Cost of sales		186.4			175.3			191.9
Gross margin	$	274.0		$	234.2		$	254.2
Gross margin as a percent of net sales		59.5	%		57.2	%		57.0	%

As a percentage of sales, gross profit margins were 59.5%, 57.2%, and 57.0% in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The gross margin improvement in 2010 is primarily the result of product mix within our European based brand assortment. Fluctuations in gross margin results from product sales mix within individual lines and types of Company products. In 2010 increased sales of higher margin product lines, larger sizes and reduced promotional sales efforts due to the improving economic environment all contributed to the gross margin improvements. Costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions that are reflected in cost of sales aggregated $30.2 million, $29.8 million and $34.3 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and represented 6.6%, 7.3% and 7.7% of sales, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, gross margin included a benefit of approximately 94 basis points as a result of cash flow hedging activities entered into in late 2008 to take advantage of the effect a strong U.S. dollar relative to the euro has on our European based product sales denominated in U.S. dollars.

We carefully watch movements in foreign currency exchange rates as sales to these customers are denominated in dollars, while our costs are incurred in euro. Therefore, from a profit standpoint, a stronger U.S. dollar benefits our gross margin. While the use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts benefited our gross margins in the 2009 period, the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro in 2010 had provided a similar benefit for 2010. As the dollar began to weaken late in the third quarter of 2010 and in an effort to protect our gross margin for the remainder of 2010, we entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge approximately 90% of our fourth quarter 2010 European based product sales expected to be invoiced in U.S. dollars. The overall effect of these hedges was not significant.

Generally, we do not bill customers for shipping and handling costs and such costs, which aggregated $5.3 million, $5.0 million and $6.2 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. As such, our Company’s gross profit may not be comparable to other companies which may include these expenses as a component of cost of goods sold.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

	Years ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
	(in millions)

Selling, general & administrative expenses	$	217.6		$	187.7		$	202.3
Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percent of net sales		47	%		46	%		45	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16% for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 2009 and decreased 7% for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 2008. As a percentage of sales selling, general and administrative expenses was 47%, 46% and 45% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Two major components of selling, general and administrative expenses are promotion and advertising expenditures and royalty expense. Promotion and advertising aggregated $69.2 million, $55.8 million and $65.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Promotion and advertising as a percentage of sales represented 15.0%, 13.6% and 14.7% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a percentage of sales advertising expenditures were higher in 2010 and 2008 to support new Burberry product launches, Burberry The Beat in 2008 and Burberry Sport in 2010. We continue to adjust our advertising and promotional budgets to align our spending with anticipated sales. As a result of the economic challenges faced in 2009, we anticipated lower sales volume and therefore advertising expenditures were curtailed. Royalty expense aggregated $40.2 million, $35.5 million and $37.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We review goodwill for impairment at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The goodwill relates to our Nickel skin care business which is primarily a component of our European operations. As of December 31, 2009, we measured fair value of goodwill to be equal to the average of purchase price indications received from several potential purchasers of the Nickel business. As a result, the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded fair value resulting in an impairment loss of $1.7 million in 2009. The same evaluation was performed as of December 31, 2010 and no further impairment was noted. Goodwill impairment losses aggregated $1.7 million in 2009 and $0.9 in 2008. Accumulated impairment losses relating to goodwill aggregated $3.5 million as of December 31, 2010.

Income from operations increased 26% to $56.4 million in 2010 and income from operations decreased 12% to $44.8 million, as compared to $51.0 million in 2008. Operating margins aggregated 12.3%, 10.9% and 11.4% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Interest expense aggregated $2.1 million, $2.6 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We use the credit lines available to us, as needed, to finance our working capital needs as well as our financing needs for acquisitions. Loans payable – banks and long-term debt including current maturities aggregated $21.4 million as of December 31, 2010, as compared to $34.6 million as of December 31, 2009.

Foreign currency gains or (losses) aggregated ($2.1) million, $3.2 million and ($1.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments. During 2009, we were party to foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge approximately 80% of our 2009 European based product sales expected to be invoiced in U.S. dollars. Hedge effectiveness excludes the portion of the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contract attributable to the change in spot-forward difference which is reported in current period earnings and resulted in most of the gains and losses referred to above.

Our effective income tax rate was 33.7%, 34.9% and 35.1% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. Our foreign tax rate has declined slightly over the past two years as a result of the 2008 formation of IP Suisse, which receives a favorable tax rate on a portion of Inter Parfums, S.A. taxable income. In addition, valuation allowances of $0.9 million and $0.8 million have been provided in 2010 and 2009, respectively, against certain foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, as it was determined that future profitable operations from certain foreign subsidiaries might not be sufficient to realize the full amount of net operating loss carry-forwards recognized. In 2008, one of our foreign subsidiaries was merged into Inter Parfums, S.A. and as a result of the merger the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.7 million from the utilization of certain foreign operating loss carry-forwards including those for which valuation allowances had been previously recorded.

We did not experience any significant changes in tax rates, and none were expected in jurisdictions where we operate.

Net income increased 18% to $35.7 million in 2010, as compared to $30.2 million in 2009. Net income was virtually unchanged in 2009 aggregating $30.2 million, as compared to $30.1 million in 2008.

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest aggregated 25.5%, 25.8% and 21.1% of net income in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2008, losses from our 51% owned European distribution subsidiaries offset profits from our other 75% owned European subsidiaries.

Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. increased 19% to $26.6 million in 2010, as compared to $22.4 million in 2009. Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. declined 6% to $22.4 million in 2009, as compared to $23.8 million in 2008. Net margins attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. aggregated 5.8%, 5.5% and 5.3% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share aggregated $0.87, $0.74 and $0.77 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Weighted average shares outstanding aggregated 30.4 million, 30.1 million and 30.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On a diluted basis, average shares outstanding were 30.5 million, 30.1 million and 30.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decline in shares outstanding in 2009 is primarily the result of shares repurchased pursuant to board of directors authorizations and the increase in 2010 is primarily the result of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position remains strong. At December 31, 2010, working capital aggregated $184 million and we had a working capital ratio of 2.5 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments aggregated $87 million.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities aggregated $37.8 million, $84.6 million and ($6.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, working capital items used $6.1 million in cash from operating activities as increases in inventories and accounts receivable were offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and income taxes payable. The $5.9 million increase in accounts receivable in 2010, as shown on the statement of cash flows, reflects favorable collection activity as days receivable outstanding declined from 98 days sales in 2009 to 83 days in 2010. The $29.1 million increase in inventories for 2010, as shown on the statement of cash flows, reflects the needed inventory build to support sales growth and upcoming product launches.

Working capital items provided $42.9 million in cash from operations in 2009 as compared to a use of $54.6 million in 2008. As of December 31, 2007 and continuing through December 31, 2008, we had a significant buildup of inventory to support a very aggressive launch schedule. In terms of cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2009, inventories decreased $40.6 million or 33%. The global economic crisis resulted in lower sales levels, especially in the first half of 2009. Our inventory levels declined steadily throughout 2009 as we made modifications to our sales projections to take into account the then difficult environment. In terms of cash flow, accounts receivable decreased $20.9 million or 17% for the year ended December 31, 2009, as we began to tighten extended payment terms offered to certain international distributors in the early days of the global economic recession. In addition, in the 2009 period, accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $18.9 million as our vendor obligations for the 2008 year end inventory buildup became due.

Cash flows used in investing activities in 2010 reflects net purchases of $49.0 million in short-term investments, which are certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. We also spent approximately $6.1 million for capital items. Our business is not capital intensive as we do not own any manufacturing facilities. However, we typically spend between $2.5 million and $3.5 million per year on tools and molds, depending on our new product development calendar. The balance of capital expenditures is for office fixtures, computer equipment and industrial equipment needed at our distribution centers. Capital expenditures in 2011 are expected to be in the range of $6.0 million to $6.5 million, considering our 2011 launch schedule. In addition, in connection with new licenses with brand names that have current distribution we may pay an entry fee in connection with securing the license rights. In 2010, we paid approximately $21.4 million in entry fees.

Our short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash on hand at December 31, 2010, cash generated by operations and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facilities for 2011 consist of a $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately $23.0 million in credit lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions. As of December 31, 2010, short-term borrowings aggregated $5.2 million.

Our long-term credit facilities provides for principal and interest to be repaid in 20 quarterly installments. As of December 31, 2010, total long-term debt including current maturities aggregated $16.1 million.

Proceeds from sale of stock of subsidiary reflect the proceeds from shares issued by our French subsidiary Inter Parfums, S.A. pursuant to options exercised in 2010, and payment for acquisition of minority interests represents repurchases of shares of our French subsidiary Inter Parfums, S.A. in an effort to offset the dilution from options exercised.

In 2008, we acquired an additional 3.6% interest in Inter Parfums, S.A. from its noncontrolling shareholders for approximately $18.5 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method.

In December 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a continuation of our cash dividend of $0.133 per share. In January 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a 97% increase in the annual dividend to $0.26 per share. In January 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a 31% increase in the annual dividend to $0.32 per share. The first quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid on April 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2011. Dividends paid, including dividends paid once per year to noncontrolling stockholders of Inter Parfums, S.A., aggregated $9.0 million, $5.7 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The cash dividends paid in 2010 represented a small part of our cash position and the dividends for 2011 are not expected to have any significant impact on our financial position.

We believe that funds provided by or used in operations can be supplemented by our present cash position and available credit facilities, so that they will provide us with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.

Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which we operate did not have a significant impact on operating results for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Future advertising commitments were estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2010, without consideration for potential renewal periods and do not reflect the fact that our distributors share our advertising obligations.

(2)	Includes long-term debt and related interest costs including interest rate swap amounts. Interest due as the result of interest rate swaps is all at a fixed rate and is payable $0.21 million and $0.47 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

General

We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that primarily consists of the use of derivative financial instruments. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in the trading of foreign currency forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We periodically enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a currency other than our functional currency. We enter into these exchange contracts for periods consistent with our identified exposures. The purpose of the hedging activities is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the receivables and cash flows of Inter Parfums, S.A., our French subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Euro. All foreign currency contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries and are with large financial institutions, which are rated as strong investment grade.

All derivative instruments are required to be reflected as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet measured at fair value. Generally, increases or decreases in fair value of derivative instruments will be recognized as gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, then the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income.

Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, we determine that the change in the value of the derivative will effectively offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item from a movement in foreign currency rates. Then, we measure the effectiveness of each hedge throughout the hedged period. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in the income statement.

At December 31, 2010, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $38.9 million and GB pounds 5.5 million which all have maturities of less than one year. We believe that our risk of loss as the result of nonperformance by any of such financial institutions is remote.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We mitigate interest rate risk by continually monitoring interest rates, and then determining whether fixed interest rates should be swapped for floating rate debt, or if floating rate debt should be swapped for fixed rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap in September 2007 on €22 million of debt, effectively exchanged the variable interest rate of 0.6% above the three month EURIBOR to a fixed rate of 4.42%. The remaining balance owed pursuant to this facility as of December 31, 2010 was €7.7 million. This derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on their review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date our Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Inter Parfums, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

Our independent auditor, WeiserMazars LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued its report on its audit of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Inter Parfums, Inc.

We have audited Inter Parfums, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Inter Parfums, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Inter Parfums, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Inter Parfums, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our report dated March 8, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Frederic Garcia-Pelayo		Director of the Luxury and Fashion division of Inter Parfums, S.A.
Axel Marot		Director of Production & Logistics, Inter Parfums, S.A.
Henry B. (“Andy”) Clarke		President of Inter Parfums USA, LLC

Our directors will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. Messrs. Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin have a verbal agreement or understanding to vote their shares in a like manner.

With the exception of Mr. Benacin, the officers are elected annually by the directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. There are no family relationships between executive officers or directors of our Company.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for the overall performance of our Company. Although certain directors are not involved in day-to-day operating details, members of the board of directors are kept informed of our business by various reports and documents made available to them. Our board of directors held 17 meetings (or executed consents in lieu thereof), including meetings of committees of the full board of directors during 2010 (with the last regular board meeting held during the first week of January 2011), and all of the directors attended at least 75% of the meetings (or executed consents in lieu thereof) of the full board of directors and committees of which they were a member, except for Messrs. Bensoussan-Torres and Rosinoer. Our board of directors presently consists of nine (9) directors, with a majority of independent directors.

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, as well as other persons performing similar functions, and we agree to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct. Any person who requests a copy of our Code of Business Conduct should provide their name and address in writing to: Inter Parfums, Inc., 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10176, Att.: Shareholder Relations. In addition, our Code of Conduct is also maintained on our website, at www.interparfumsinc.com.

During 2010 our board of directors had the following standing committees:

Audit Committee – The Audit Committee has the sole authority and is directly responsible for, the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent accountants employed by our company which prepare or issue an audit report for our company. During 2010, the Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn, Levy and Choël.

The Company does not have an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. First, finding qualified nominees to serve as a director of a public company without substantial financial resources has been challenging. Second, despite the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rule which states that being named as the audit committee financial expert does not impose any greater duty, obligation or liability, the Company has been met with resistance from both present and former directors to being named as such primarily due to potential additional personal liability.

However, as the result of the background, education and experience of the members of the Audit Committee, our board of directors believes that such committee members are fully qualified to fulfill their obligations as members of the Audit Committee.

Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee – The Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee oversees the compensation of our company’s executives and administers our company’s stock option plans. During 2010, the members of such committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn, Levy and Choël. We presently do not have a separate charter for our Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

Nominating Committee – The Nominating Committee was formed in January 2011, and the members of such committee consist of Messrs. Heilbronn, Levy and Choël. The purpose of the Nominating Committee is to determine and recommend qualified persons to the Board of Directors who will be put forth as management's slate of directors for vote of the Corporation's stockholders, as well as to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors. The charter of the Nominating Committee is posted on our company’s website.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

General

The executive compensation and stock option committee of our board of directors is comprised entirely of independent directors and oversee all elements of compensation (base salary, annual bonus, long term incentives and perquisites) of our company’s executive officers and administers our company’s stock option plans, other than the non-employee directors stock option plan, which is self executing.

The objectives of our compensation program are designed to strike a balance between offering sufficient compensation to either retain existing or attract new executives on the one hand, and maintaining compensation at reasonable levels on the other hand. We do not have the resources comparable to the cosmetic giants in our industry, and accordingly cannot afford to pay excessive executive compensation. In furtherance of these objectives, our executive compensation packages generally include a base salary, as well as annual incentives tied to individual performance and long-term incentives tied to our operating performance.

Mr. Madar, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, takes the initiative after discussions with Mr. Russell Greenberg, an Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a Director, and recommends executive compensation levels for executives in the United States. Mr. Benacin, the Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., takes the initiative after discussions with Philippe Santi, the Chief Financial Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., and recommends executive compensation levels for executives in Europe. The recommendations are presented to the compensation committee for its consideration, and the compensation committee makes a final determination regarding salary adjustments and annual award amounts to executives, including our Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin. Further, Messrs. Madar and Benacin, in addition to being executive officers and directors, are our largest shareholders, and therefore, their interests are aligned with our shareholder base in keeping executive compensation at a reasonable level.

The compensation committee believes that individual executive compensation is at a level comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development that operate in the fragrance industry and take into account our company’s performance as well as our own strategic goals. Further, the compensation committee believes that its present policies to date, with its emphasis on rewarding performance, has served to focus the efforts of our executives, which in turn permitted our company to weather the storm of this recession and put our company on track to return to a high rate of growth and profitability, which management believes will result in a substantial increase in value to our shareholders.

Elements of Compensation

General

The compensation of our executive officers is generally comprised of base salaries, annual cash bonuses and long-term equity incentive awards. In determining specific components of compensation, the compensation committee considers individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience, and other compensation awards or arrangements. The compensation committee reviews and approves all elements of compensation for all of our executive officers taking into consideration recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer of our company and the Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., as well as information regarding compensation levels at competitors in our industry.

Our named executive officers have all been with the company for more than the past ten (10) years, with Messrs. Madar and Benacin being founders of the company in 1985. As previously disclosed, Mr. Madar for United States operations, and Mr. Benacin for European operations, each recommend executive compensation levels for executives in the respective operating segments. In addition, and also as previously reported, Messrs. Greenberg, the Chief Financial Officer of the company (as well as United States operations) and Santi, the Chief Financial Officer of European operations, also participate in recommendations for executive compensation levels for executives in the respective operating segments.

As Messrs. Madar and Greenberg for United States operations, and Benacin and Santi for European operations, are most familiar with the individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer in their respective segments, the compensation committee relies upon the information provided by such executive officers in determining individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer.

The compensation committee views the competitive market place very broadly, which would include executive officers from both public and privately held companies in general, including fashion and beauty companies, but not limited to the “peer companies” contained in the corporate performance graph contained in this annual report. Rather than tie the compensation committee’s determination of compensation proposals to any specific peer companies, the members of our committee have used their business experience, judgement and knowledge to review the executive compensation proposals recommended to them by Mr. Madar for United States operations and Benacin for European operations. As such, compensation committee did not determine the need to “benchmark” of any material item of compensation or overall compensation.

The members of the compensation committee have extensive experience and business acumen and are well qualified in determining the appropriateness of executive compensation levels. Mr. Heilbronn is a managing partner of a business consulting firm in the area of mergers and acquisitions of large international companies in retail, consumer goods and consumer services throughout the world. Mr. Levy has over thirty years experience as an executive officer, including more than ten years as President and Chief Executive Officer of well known cosmetic companies such as Cosmair and Sanofi Beaute (France). Mr. Choël, the final committee member, is presently a business consultant and advisor, who previously worked as President and Chief Executive Officer of two divisions of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A., which included such well known brands as Parfums Christian Dior, Guerlain, and Parfums Givenchy.

Base Salary

Base salaries for executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive market place for executive talent. Base salaries for executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis, and adjustments are determined by evaluating our operating performance, the performance of each executive officer, as well as whether the nature of the responsibilities of the executive has changed.

As stated above, as Messrs. Madar and Greenberg for United States operations, and Benacin and Santi for European operations, are most familiar with the individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer in their respective segments, the committee relies upon the information provided by such executive officers in determining individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer.

For executive officers of United States operations, the bulk of their annual compensation is in base salary. However, for executive officers of European operations base salary comprises a smaller percentage of overall compensation.

We have paid a lower percentage of overall compensation in the form of base salary to executive officers of European operations for several years, principally because European operations historically have had higher profitability than United States operations and European operations are run differently by the Chief Executive Officer of European operations, Mr. Benacin, than United States operations. As the result of this historically higher profitability, European operations have had the ability to pay higher bonus compensation in addition to base salary. As bonus compensation is and has historically been discretionary, no targets were set in order to maintain flexibility. Further, if results of operations for European operations were not satisfactory (again, no target amounts were set to maintain flexibility), then bonus compensation, as well as overall compensation could be lowered without otherwise affecting base salary. Finally, by keeping annual bonus compensation at a higher percentage of overall compensation and base salary at a lower percentage, our company benefits because the base amount for annual salary adjustments would be smaller.

Upon the recommendation of Mr. Benacin, the base salaries of Mr. Philippe Santi, the Chief Financial Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., and Mr. Frederic Garcia-Pelayo, were each increased from 249,600 euro in 2009 to 260,400 euro in 2010, a 4% increase. Likewise, Mr. Benacin’s base compensation was increased from 249,600 euro in 2009 to 260,400 euro in 2010.

Initially in 2009, the compensation committee had agreed to have the base salary of Mr. Madar, the Chief Executive Officer, remain at the same level of $400,000, which it has been for the past several years. Further, upon recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer, the executive compensation committee had determined to increase the base salary of Mr. Greenberg, the Chief Financial Officer, by $20,000 from $435,000 to $455,000, a 4.6% increase and to increase the base salary of Mr. Clark, the president of Inter Parfums USA, LLC (Specialty Retail Division) by $20,000. Mr. Greenberg had received salary increases of $30,000 for the prior last four years.

Unfortunately, with the global economic downturn commencing in the fourth quarter of 2008, the market price of our common stock as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market had decreased substantially. Further, consolidated net sales of our company for the first quarter of 2009 had decreased and visibility for the remainder of 2009 was very unclear. Based upon the recommendations of the chief executive officer, the executive compensation committee authorized a (i) rollback the $20,000 increase in the annual base salaries previously authorized for the chief financial officer and president of Inter Parfums USA, LLC (Specialty Retail Division), so that their annual base salaries would return to the levels paid in 2008, and (ii) decrease the annual base salary by $20,000 of the Chief Executive Officer, all on a pro rata basis effective as of April 16, 2009.

For 2011, the base salaries for Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Clarke were increased by $22,000 and $20,000, respectively. The executive compensation committee believes these increases in salary were merited by the hard work and responsibility undertaken by these executive officers, as well as the increase in profitability of our company. These increase essentially restored cuts in pay for these two executive officers in 2009. Mr. Madar, the Chief Executive Officer, did not receive any increase in his base salary, which remains at $380,000.

Bonus Compensation/Annual Incentives

We have paid a higher percentage of overall compensation in the form of bonus compensation to executive officers of European operations for several years, principally because European operations historically have had higher profitability than United States operations. As the result of this historically higher profitability, European operations have had the ability to pay higher bonus compensation in addition to base salary. As bonus compensation is discretionary no targets were set in order to maintain flexibility. Further, if results of operations for European operations were not satisfactory (again, no target amounts were set to maintain flexibility), then bonus compensation, as well as overall compensation could be lowered without otherwise affecting base salary.

For 2010, Mr. Benacin, the chief decision maker for European operations, proposed and the committee concurred in the payment of bonus compensation equal to approximately 72% of base salary for executive officers of European operations. This is compared to bonus compensation as a percentage of annual salary of 58% and 71% for Mr. Benacin in 2009 and 2008, and approximately 70% for Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo in both 2009 and 2008.

A different approach is taken for United States operations as that segment is much smaller and profitability is much more volatile. A more significant base salary is paid in order to attract and retain employees with the skills and talents needed to run the operation with a lesser emphasis placed on bonuses. Based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Greenberg received a cash bonus or $17,500, and Mr. Clarke’s cash bonus is still under review. No cash bonus compensation was paid to executive officers of United States operations for 2009 due to the global recession. Mr. Greenberg had received a cash bonus of $35,000 for 2008. In order for Mr. Madar, the Chief Executive Officer to receive a cash bonus, United States operations has to achieve after tax profit target. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, based upon such targets, our Chief Executive Officer did not earn any cash bonus. The Executive Compensation Committee has determined to use the same after tax profit target for our company’s United States operations to calculate Mr. Madar’s bonus for 2011.

As required by French law, Inter Parfums, SA maintains its own profit sharing plan for all French employees who have completed three months of service, including executive officers of our European operations other than Mr. Benacin, the Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, SA. Benefits are calculated based upon a percentage of taxable income of Inter Parfums, S.A. and allocated to employees based upon salary. The maximum amount payable per year per employee is 25,000 euros, or approximately $33,130.

Calculation of total annual benefits contribution is made according to the following formula:

50% of (Inter Parfums, S.A. net income, less 5% of shareholders equity without net income for the year) times a fraction, the numerator of which is wages, and the denominator of which is net income before tax + wages + taxes (other than income tax) + valuation allowances + amortization expenses + interest expenses.

Contribution to individual employees is then made pro rata based upon their individual salaries for the year.

Long Term Incentives

Stock Options. We link long-term incentives with corporate performance through the grant of stock options. All options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of our common stock on the date of grant, and terminate on or shortly after severance of the executive’s relationship with us. Unless the market price of our common stock increases, corporate executives will have no tangible benefit. Thus, they are provided with the additional incentive to increase individual performance with the ultimate goal of increasing our overall performance. We believe that enhanced executive incentives which result in increased corporate performance tend to build company loyalty. As a general rule, the number of options granted is determined by several factors, but most importantly, both individual and company operating results for the past year, as well as past option grants to such executives.

For executive officers of United States operations and European operations, we typically grant nonqualified stock options with a term of 6 years that vest ratably of a 5-year period on a cumulative basis, so that the option will become fully exercisable at the beginning of the sixth year from the date of grant. In addition, option grants to purchase shares of our majority-owned, French subsidiary, Inter Parfums, S.A. were also granted to Messrs. Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo under the Inter Parfums SA option plan, which have a term of 6 years and vest 4 years after the date of grant.

We believe that the vesting period of these options serve a dual purpose: 1. executives will not receive any benefit if they leave prior to such portion of the option vesting; and 2. having a vesting period, matches the service period with the potential benefits of the option. Pursuant to our stock option plan, non-qualified stock options granted to executives terminate immediately upon the executive’s termination of association with our company. This termination provision coupled with a vesting period reduces benefits afforded to an executive when an executive officer leaves our employ.

Over the past several years, as our company has grown and the market price or our common stock has increased, Messrs. Madar and Benacin have realized substantial compensation as the result of the exercise of their options. As the two executives most responsible for continued growth and success of our company, the Committee believes the granting of options is an appropriate tool to tie a substantial portion of their compensation to the success of our company and is completely warranted.

The actual compensation realized as the result of the exercise of options in the past, as well as the future potential of such rewards, are powerful incentives for increased individual performance and ultimately increased company performance. In view of the fact that the executive officers named above contribute significantly to our profitable operations, the compensation committee believes the option grants are valid incentives for these executive officers and are fair to our shareholders. Generally we grant options to executive officers in December of each year.

In December 2010, upon the recommendation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer, the compensation committee granted options to purchase a total of 19,000 shares of our common stock to each of Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin at the fair market value on the date of grant, which were the same number of shares for which options had been granted to Messrs. Madar and Benacin in December 2009 and December 2008. Option grants to Messrs Madar and Benacin were identical as each is the Chief Executive Officer of their respective operating segments. Also in December 2010, the compensation committee granted options to purchase 25,000 shares to Mr. Greenberg, the Chief Financial Officer, at the fair market value on the date of grant, the same number of options granted in 2009.

In December 2010, options to purchase 3,000 shares were granted to Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo, as additional compensation for the increase in operating results for European Operations and the company overall. However, no options were granted to Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo from our company during 2009 or for 2008.

For the past few years we had temporarily discontinued all option grants to purchase shares of our majority-owned, French subsidiary, Inter Parfums, S.A. to avoid a decrease in the dilution of our ownership interest in Inter Parfums, S.A. However, at the request of Messrs. Benacin and Santi, Inter Parfums, S.A. again commenced granting options to its employees and executive officers, including to Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo, as Messrs. Benacin and Santi had determined that it was more beneficial for the employees and executive officers of European operations have a stake in Inter Parfums, S.A., rather than our company. Accordingly, in December 2009 Inter Parfums, S.A. authorized a stock option plan which provides for a maximum of 3% of the outstanding shares of Inter Parfums, S.A. to be available for grant. Under the Inter Parfums S.A. stock option plan, options are granted at the fair market value at the time of grant for a term of 6 years and vest 4 years after the date of grant. In October 2010, Inter Parfums, S.A. granted of options to purchase 7,000 shares for each of Messrs. Madar, Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo and 1,500 shares for Mr. Greenberg. In December 2009, Inter Parfums, S.A. authorized grants of options to employees of Inter Parfums, S.A. for an aggregate of 0.5% of outstanding shares, including options to purchase 6,000 shares for each of Messrs. Madar, Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo and 1,200 shares for Mr. Greenberg.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Our 2004 stock option plan authorizes us to grant stock appreciation rights, or SARs. An SAR represents a right to receive the appreciation in value, if any, of our common stock over the base value of the SAR. To date, we have not granted any SARs under the 2004 plan. While the compensation committee currently does not plan to grant any SARs under our 2004 plan, it may choose to do so in the future as part of a review of the executive compensation strategy. The Inter Parfums S.A. stock option plan does not have stock appreciate rights.

Restricted Stock. We have not in the past, and we do not have any future plans to grant restricted stock to our executive officers. However, while the compensation committee currently does not plan to authorize any restricted stock plans, the compensation committee may choose to do so in the future as part of a review of the executive compensation strategy.

Other Compensation

Mr. Benacin is the Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A. (European operations), as well as a founder of our company, and we believe we should recognize his responsibility, skills and experience, as well as the results of the company. In view of his service to the company, Mr. Benacin has received a housing and automobile allowance for more than the past ten (10) years. This is a way we have differentiated him from other executive officers of European operations, and acknowledged his responsibility, skills and experience, as well as the company’s operating results, while maintaining his base salary at the same level as Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo, the other named executive officers of European operations.

No Stock Ownership Guidelines

We do not require any minimum level of stock ownership by any of our executive officers. As stated above, Messrs. Madar and Benacin, are our largest shareholders, which aligns their interests with our shareholder base in keeping executive compensation at a reasonable level.

Retirement and Pension Plans

We maintain a 401(k) plan for United States operations. However, we do not match any contributions to such plan, as we have determined base compensation together with annual bonuses and stock option awards, are sufficient incentives to retain talented employees. Our European operations maintains a pension plan for it employees as required by French law.

Compensation Committee Report

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis provisions to be included in this amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. Based on this review and discussion, we recommend to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis referred to above be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders.

1 Amounts reflected under Option Awards represent the grant date fair values in 2010, 2009 and 2008 based on the fair value of stock option awards using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in this model are detailed in Footnote 13 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and filed with the SEC.

2 As required by French law, Inter Parfums, S.A. maintains its own profit sharing plan for all French employees who have completed three months of service, including executive officers of our European operations other than Mr. Benacin, the Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A. Benefits are calculated based upon a percentage of taxable income of Inter Parfums, S.A. and are allocated to employees based upon salary. The maximum amount payable per year is 25,000 euro, or approximately $33,130.

Calculation of total annual benefits contribution is made according to the following formula:

50% of (Inter Parfums, S.A. net income, less 5% of shareholders equity without net income for the year) times a fraction, the numerator of which is wages, and the denominator of which is net income before taxes, + wages + taxes (other than income tax) + valuation allowances + amortization expenses + interest expenses.

Contribution to individual employees is then made pro rata based upon their individual salaries for the year.

Options

As discussed above, we typically grant nonqualified stock options with a term of 6 years that vest ratably of a 5-year period on a cumulative basis, so that the option will become fully exercisable at the beginning of the sixth year from the date of grant. As reported above, options granted to French employees under the French Addendum to our stock option plan have a term of 6 years, and vest 4 years after the date of grant. Further, options granted to French employees under the stock option plan of Inter Parfums, S.A. likewise vest 4 years after the date of grant.

We believe that the vesting period of these options serves a dual purpose: 1. executives will not receive any benefit if they leave prior to such portion of the option vesting; and 2. having a vesting period matches the service period with the potential benefits of the option.

Under our stock option plans, the fair market value is determined by the average of the high and low price on the date of grant, not the closing price as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market.

We also note that the Summary Compensation Table does not include income realized by the named executive officers as the result of the exercise of stock options, but rather reflects the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for options granted in accordance with SFAS 123R. However, value realized as the result of stock option exercises is set forth in the table entitled “Option Exercises and Stock Vested”.

Inter Parfums, S.A. Profit Sharing Plan

Calculation of total annual benefits contribution is made according to the following formula:

Contribution to individual employees is then made pro rata based upon their individual salaries for the year.

Inter Parfums, S.A. maintains a pension plan for all of its employees, including all executive officers. The calculation of commitments for severance benefits involves estimating the probable present value of projected benefit obligations. This projected benefit obligations is then prorated to take into account seniority of the employees of Inter Parfums, S.A. on the calculation date.

In calculating benefits, the following assumptions were applied:

- voluntary retirement at age 65;

- a rate of 45% for employer payroll contributions for all employees;

- a 5% average annual salary increase;

- an annual rate of turnover for all employees under 55 years of age and nil above;

- the TH 00-02 mortality table for men and the TF 00-02 mortality table for women;

- a discount rate of 3.96%.

The normal retirement age is 65 years, but employees, including Messrs. Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo, can collect reduced benefits if they retire at age 60.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not maintain any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

Employment Agreements

As part of our acquisition in 1991 of the controlling interest in Inter Parfums, S.A., now a subsidiary, we entered into an employment agreement with Philippe Benacin. The agreement provides that Mr. Benacin will be employed as Vice Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums Holdings and its subsidiary, Inter Parfums. The initial term expired on September 2, 1992, and has subsequently been automatically renewed for additional annual periods. The agreement provides for automatic annual renewal terms, unless either party terminates the agreement upon 120 days notice. For 2011 Mr. Benacin presently receives an annual salary of €391,200 (approximately $523,000), and automobile expenses of €14,000 (approximately $18,700), which are subject to increase in the discretion of the board of directors but Mr. Benacin will no longer be getting a lodging allowance. The agreement also provides for indemnification and a covenant not to compete for one year after termination of employment.

Item 13. Certain Relationships And Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with French Subsidiaries

In connection with the acquisitions by our subsidiary, Inter Parfums, S.A., of the world-wide rights under the Burberry license agreement and the Paul Smith license agreement, we guaranteed the obligations of Inter Parfums, S.A. under the Burberry and Paul Smith license agreements. In addition, Inter Parfums, S.A. has agreed to reimburse us for the compensation expense attributed to a former French executive officer, and vested options which are granted to French employees under to our stock option plan.

Distribution and Support Arrangements

During 2010 we formed Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of our majority-owned French subsidiary Inter Parfums SA, for distribution of prestige brands in the United States. Interparfums Luxury Brands has also entered into an agreement with Clarins Fragrance Group US (a Division of Clarins Group) effective January 1, 2011, to share and manage an expanded sales force. Logistical and administrative support is provided by Clarins Group USA from its Park Avenue offices in New York and its warehouse in Orangeburg, New York. Mr. Serge Rosinoer, a director of our Company, is presently the Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Clarins SA, the parent company of Clarins Fragrance Group US.

Jimmy Choo

Inter Parfums, S.A. and J Choo Limited entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement commencing on January 1, 2010 and expiring on December 31, 2021, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances under the Jimmy Choo brand. Mr. Robert Bensoussan-Torres, a director of the Corporation, is a director of J Choo Limited and has an indirect ownership interest in J Choo Limited.

Yelo and Nickel USA

Nickel USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company and Yelo, LLC, a related party by virtue of the 3% equity interest in Yelo owned by Mr. Jean Madar, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, have entered into an agreement to have Yelo perform management services at the spa owned and operated by Nickel in New York City for a one (1) year period, subject to subsequent annual renewals upon agreement of the parties, and Nickel is to pay Yelo a monthly base fee of $5,000, plus a monthly performance fee based upon a percentage of increased monthly revenues above a baseline.

Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

Transactions between related persons, such as between an executive officer or director and our company, or any company or person controlled by such officer or director, are required to be approved by our Audit Committee of our board of directors. Our Audit Committee Charter contains such explicit authority, as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Director Independence

The following are our directors who are “independent directors” within the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market:

Francois Heilbronn

Jean Levy

Robert Bensoussan-Torres

Serge Rosinoer

Patrick Choël

We follow and comply with the independent director definitions as provided by The Nasdaq Stock Market rules in determining the independence of our directors, which are posted on our company’s website. In addition, such rules are also available on The Nasdaq Stock Market’s website. In addition, The Nasdaq Stock Market maintains more stringent rules relating to director independence for the members of our Audit Committee, and the members of our Audit Committee, Messrs. Heilbronn, Levy and Choël, are independent within the meaning of those rules.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Management

For more than the past ten (10) years, Jean Madar has held the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of our company. Almost since inception, Mr. Madar has been allocated the responsibility of overseeing our United States operations and the operation of Inter Parfums, Inc., as a public company. Philippe Benacin, as Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, S.A., has been allocated the responsibility of overseeing our European operations and its operation as a public company in France. In addition, Mr. Benacin is also the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of our company. Our board of directors is comfortable with this approach, as the two largest stockholders of our company are also directly responsible for the operations of our company’s two operating segments. Accordingly, our board of directors does not have a “Lead Director,” a non-management director who controls the meetings of our board of directors.

Our board of directors manages risk by (i) period operating reports and discussion with management; (ii) approval of executive compensation incentive plans through its committee, the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee; (iii) approval of related party transactions through its committee, the Audit Committee; and (iv) approval of material transactions not in the ordinary course of business. Since our inception, we have never been the subject of any material product liability claims, and we have had no recent material property damage claims.

Further, we periodically enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. We enter into these exchange contracts for periods consistent with our identified exposures. The purpose of the hedging activities is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the receivables and cash flows of Inter Parfums, S.A., our French subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Euro. All foreign currency contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries and are with large financial institutions, which are rated as strong investment grade.

In addition, we mitigate interest rate risk by continually monitoring interest rates, and then determining whether fixed interest rates should be swapped for floating rate debt, or if floating rate debt should be swapped for fixed rate debt.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

General

In connection with the termination of the alternative practice structure between Mazars LLP and Weiser LLP (now known as WeiserMazars LLP), the following has occurred effective September 21, 2010:

Mazars LLP resigned as the principal accountants of Inter Parfums, Inc.

WeiserMazars LLP, an affiliate of Mazars LLP, was engaged as the principal accountants of Inter Parfums, Inc.

The decision to change accountants was approved by the audit committee of Inter Parfums, Inc.

Fees

The following sets forth the fees billed to us by WeiserMazars LLP, and its predecessor, Mazars LLP, as well as discusses the services provided for the past two fiscal years, fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Audit Fees

During 2010 the fees billed by WeiserMazars LLP and its affiliate, Mazars S.A. for audit services and review of the financial statements contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were $608,000. Also, during 2010 the fees billed by Mazars LLP and its affiliate, Mazars S.A. for audit services and review of the financial statements contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were $301,000. During 2009 the fees billed by Mazars LLP and its affiliate, Mazars S.A. for audit services and review of the financial statements contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were $857,000.

Audit-Related Fees

Mazars LLP billed us $8,500 for audit related fees during 2009.

Tax Fees

Mazars LLP did not bill us for tax services during 2010 or 2009. WeiserMazars LLP did not bill us for tax services during 2010.

All Other Fees

Mazars LLP did not bill us for any other services during 2010 or 2009. WeiserMazars LLP did not bill us for any other services during 2010.

Audit Committee Pre Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has the sole authority for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent accountants, who prepare or issue an audit report for us.

During the first quarter of 2010 the audit committee authorized the following non-audit services to be performed by Mazars LLP, the predecessor independent accountants.

We authorized the engagement of Mazars LLP if deemed necessary to provide tax consultation in the ordinary course of business for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

We authorized the engagement of Mazars LLP if deemed necessary to provide tax consultation as may be required on a project by project basis that would not be considered in the ordinary course of business, of up to a $5,000 fee limit per project, subject to an aggregate fee limit of $25,000 for fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. If we require further tax services from Mazars LLP, then the approval of the audit committee must be obtained.

If we require other services by Mazars LLP on an expedited basis such that obtaining pre-approval of the audit committee is not practicable, then the Chairman of the Committee has authority to grant the required pre-approvals for all such services.

We imposed a cap of $100,000 on the fees that Mazars can charge for services on an expedited basis that are approved by the Chairman without obtaining full audit committee approval.

None of the non-audit services of either of the Company’s auditors had the pre-approval requirement waived in accordance with Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

On September 21, 2010, the audit committee authorized the same non-audit services to be performed by WeiserMazars LLP as disclosed above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Inter Parfums, Inc.

New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Inter Parfums, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inter Parfums, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements enumerated above, we audited schedule II for the year ended December 31, 2010. In our opinion, schedule II, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Inter Parfums, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 8, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008

(In thousands except share and per share data)

(1) The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

Business of the Company

Inter Parfums, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) are in the fragrance business, and manufacture and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products.

Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses. Revenues generated from one such license represented 53%, 57% and 56% of net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including 74% owned Inter Parfums, S.A. (“IPSA”), a subsidiary whose stock is publicly traded in France. In June 2008, IPSA formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums (Suisse) SA, to hold and manage certain of its brand names and in 2010 IPSA formed two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Interparfums Singapore Pte. Ltd., and Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., an Asian sales and marketing office and a U.S. distribution company, respectively. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Management makes assumptions and estimates to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those assumptions and estimates directly affect the amounts reported and disclosures included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from those assumptions and estimates. Significant estimates for which changes in the near term are considered reasonably possible and that may have a material impact on the financial statements are disclosed in these notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Short-term Investments

From time to time, the Company has short-term investments which consist of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk associated with financial institutions with which the Company conducts significant business. The Company believes our credit risk is minimal, as the Company primarily conducts business with large, well-established financial institutions.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008

(In thousands except share and per share data)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts or balances which are estimated to be uncollectible aggregating $5.9 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they become uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously recorded against the allowance are recorded in the consolidated statement of income when received.

Inventories

Inventories, including promotional merchandise, only includes inventory considered saleable or usable in future periods, and is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include raw materials, components, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and warehousing) as well as inbound freight. Promotional merchandise is charged to cost of sales at the time the merchandise is shipped to the Company’s customers. Overhead included in inventory aggregated, $3.0 million, $2.3 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to principally manage a variety of market risks. For derivatives designated as hedges of the exposure to changes in fair value of the recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (referred to as fair value hedges), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The effect of that accounting is to include in earnings the extent to which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For our cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported in equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of a cash flow hedge is reported in earnings immediately. The Company also holds certain instruments for economic purposes that are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. For these derivative instruments, the changes in their fair value are also recorded in earnings immediately.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for equipment, which range between three and ten years and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful asset lives for leasehold improvements.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of their underlying net assets. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets principally consist of trademarks. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized.

The Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more likely than not (i) reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its fair value or (ii) indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated using a two step process. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of that unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the second step of the process involves comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill (based on industry purchase and sale transaction data) with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized as an amount equal to the excess.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008

(In thousands except share and per share data)

Testing goodwill for impairment requires us to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using significant estimates and assumptions. The assumptions the Company makes will impact the outcome and ultimate results of the testing. In making our assumptions and estimates, the Company uses industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by management and, in certain instances, the Company engages third party valuation specialists to advise us.

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. To determine fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company uses an income approach, including the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The relief-from-royalty calculations require us to make a number of assumptions and estimates concerning future sales levels, market royalty rates, future tax rates and discount rates. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, impairment is recorded.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is a worldwide manufacturer, marketer and distributor of fragrance and fragrance related products. Domestic and international sales are made to third party distributors or direct to department stores, perfumeries and specialty retailers. The Company grants credit to all qualified customers and does not believe it is exposed significantly to any undue concentration of credit risk.

The Company’s largest customer was its former U.S. prestige fragrance distributor which accounted for 8%, 11% and 12% of consolidated net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, the Company formed a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary which took over such distribution in the U.S. beginning January 1, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when merchandise is shipped and the risk of loss passes to the customer. The Company, at its discretion, permits limited returns of merchandise and establishes allowances for estimated returns based upon historic trends and relevant current data. The Company does not bill its customer’s freight and handling charges. All shipping and handling costs, which aggregated $5.3 million, $5.0 million and $6.2 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands except share and per share data)

Payments to Customers

The Company records revenues generated from purchase with purchase promotions as sales and the costs of its purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions as cost of sales. Certain other incentive arrangements require the payment of a fee to customers based on their attainment of pre-established sales levels. These fees have been recorded as a reduction of net sales.

Advertising and Promotion

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of cost of goods sold (in the case of free goods given to customers) or selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and promotional costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $69.2 million, $55.8 million and $65.8 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions that are reflected in cost of sales aggregated $30.2 million, $29.8 million and $34.3 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accrued expenses include approximately $14.7 million and $9.2 million in advertising liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Package Development Costs

Package development costs associated with new products and redesigns of existing product packaging are expensed as incurred.

Operating Leases

The Company recognizes rent expense from operating leases with various step rent provisions, rent concessions and escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. The Company considers lease renewals in the useful life of its leasehold improvements when such renewals are reasonably assured. In the event the Company receives capital improvement funding from its landlord, these amounts are recorded as deferred liabilities and amortized over the remaining lease term as a reduction of rent expense.

License Agreements

The Company’s license agreements provide the Company with worldwide rights to manufacture, market and sell fragrance and fragrance related products using the licensors’ trademarks. The licenses typically have an initial term of approximately 5 years to 15 years, and are potentially renewable subject to the Company’s compliance with the license agreement provisions. The remaining terms, including the potential renewal periods, range from approximately 2 years to 15 years. Under each license, the Company is required to pay royalties to the licensor, at least annually, based on net sales to third parties.

Most of the Company’s licenses were entered into to create additional business. In some cases, the Company may pay an entry fee to acquire, or enter into, a license where the licensor or another licensee was operating a pre-existing fragrance business. In those cases, the entry fee is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its useful life.

Certain license agreements may require minimum royalty payments, incremental royalties based on net sales levels and minimum spending on advertising and promotional activities. Royalty expenses are accrued in the period in which net sales are recognized while advertising and promotional expenses are accrued at the time these costs are incurred.

In addition, the Company is exposed to certain concentration risk. Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses.

Income Taxes

Issuance of Common Stock by Consolidated Subsidiary

The difference between the Company’s share of the proceeds received by the subsidiary and the carrying amount of the portion of the Company’s investment deemed sold, is reflected as an equity adjustment in the consolidated balance sheets.

Treasury Stock

The Board of Directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company’s common stock (Share Repurchase Authorizations). Share repurchases under these authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts within the parameters authorized by the Board. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee stock option plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of Equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” which amends ASC Subtopic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASU 2010-06”) to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The new disclosure and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

Reclassifications

For the 2009 period, the Company reclassified $2.0 million of foreign currency translation adjustments originally included as an increase to comprehensive income of Inter Parfums, Inc., to the noncontrolling interest. There was no effect on the consolidated statements of income or per share amounts. As of December 31, 2009, the balance sheet effect of this reclassification is a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. and a corresponding increase in noncontrolling interest.

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. More specifically, proceeds from sale of stock of subsidiary and payments for acquisition of noncontrolling interests have been reclassified from net cash provided by (used in) investing activities to net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

The initial term of the agreement with The Gap Inc. expired on August 31, 2009, and the Company had entered into a series of short-term extension agreements to continue the relationship as it previously existed while the Company was in discussions with The Gap Inc. for a formal extension of the agreement. In March 2010, the Company signed a new specialty retail agreement with The Gap, Inc. covering the Gap and Banana Republic brands in the United States and Canada with terms and conditions similar to those of the original agreement. This new agreement and our international licensing agreement expire December 31, 2011. The Company is currently in discussion with The Gap Inc. on potential renewals of the agreements, however, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be renewed or what the terms of such renewal might be.

As an inducement to enter into the initial agreement with The Gap, Inc., in July 2005, the Company granted a five year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock to The Gap Inc. at $16.80 per share, and in September 2006 the Company granted The Gap Inc. an additional five year warrant for 150,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $11.46 per share. The fair market value of the warrants granted aggregated approximately $1.7 million and was determined on the date of the first grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Such amount was capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over the initial term of the agreement. Such amortization is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In May 2010, the Company received proceeds of $1.7 million upon the exercise of 150,000 of the warrants and in July 2010 the remaining 150,000 expired unexercised.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to companies for debts with the same remaining maturities and is approximately equal to its carrying value.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions and the value of interest rate swaps are the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes obtained from financial institutions.

(6)	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the value of the derivative instrument from movement in exchange rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the cash flows of the derivative instrument will effectively offset the change in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period and is based on the dollar offset methodology and excludes the portion of the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contract attributable to the change in spot-forward difference which is reported in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also recognized as a gain or loss on foreign currency in the income statement. For hedge contracts that are no longer deemed highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued and gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur, then any gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to current-period earnings. Cash-flow hedges were highly effective, in all material respects.

The following table presents gains and losses in derivatives designated as hedges and the location of those gains and losses in the financial statements (in thousands):

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion)					Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)	Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)					Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative (Effective Portion)	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative (Effective Portion) (A)

All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. The valuation of interest rate swaps resulted in a liability which is included in long-term debt on the accompanying balance sheets. The valuation of foreign currency forward exchange contracts not accounted for using hedge accounting in 2010 and 2009 resulted in an asset and are included in other current assets on the accompanying balance sheet. Generally, increases or decreases in the fair value of derivative instruments will be recognized as gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $38 million and GB pounds 5.5 million which all have maturities of less than one year.

In 2009, an impairment charge relating to the Nickel trademark in the amount of $0.54 million was recorded. No other impairment charges for trademarks with indefinite useful lives were required in 2010, 2009 and 2008. Amortization expense was $5.7 million, $6.7 million and $6.9 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to approximate $6.7 million in 2011, $6.6 million in 2012 and $5.7 million in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The weighted average amortization period for trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives are 14 years, 10 years and 2 years, respectively, and 11 years in the aggregate.

In connection with the purchase of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks in 2007, Lanvin has the right to repurchase the brand names and trademarks in 2025 for the greater of €70 million or one times the average of the annual sales for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024.

The goodwill and trademarks referred to above, relates to the Company’s Nickel skin care business which is primarily a component of our European operations. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has measured fair value of goodwill to be equal to the average of purchase price indications received from several potential purchasers of the Nickel business. As a result, the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded fair value resulting in an impairment loss of $1.7 million. The same evaluation was performed as of December 31, 2010 and no further impairment was noted. Accumulated impairment losses relating to goodwill aggregated $3.5 million as of December 31, 2010.

To determine fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company uses an income approach, including the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The relief-from-royalty calculations require us to make a number of assumptions and estimates concerning future sales levels, market royalty rates, future tax rates and discount rates. The Company uses this method to determine if an impairment charge is required relating to our Nickel brand trademarks. In 2009, an impairment charge relating to the Nickel trademark in the amount of $0.54 million was recorded. No impairment charge was required in 2010. The Company assumed a market royalty rate of 6% and a discount rate of 7.4%.

The fair values used in our evaluations are also estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 7.4%. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including, future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. The Company believes that the assumptions that the Company has made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no impairment indicators exist for our indefinite-lived assets other than the Nickel trademarks referred to above. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

The cost of trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives is being amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the respective license or the intangible assets estimated useful life which range from three to seventeen years. If the residual value of a finite life intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the asset is not amortized. The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Activity relating to the goodwill is as follows:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
Balance - beginning of year	$	3,927		$	5,470

(10)	Loans Payable – Banks

Loans payable – banks consist of the following:

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have available credit lines, including several bank overdraft facilities totaling approximately $23 million. These credit lines bear interest at the three month EURIBOR plus 0.6% (the three month EURIBOR was 1.17% at December 31, 2010). Outstanding amounts totaled $5.2 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have available a $15 million unsecured revolving line of credit due on demand, which bears interest at the prime rate minus 0.5% (the prime rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2010). The line of credit which has a maturity date of January 2, 2012 is expected to be renewed on an annual basis. There was no balance due as of December 31, 2010 and $4.2 million was outstanding at December 31, 2009.

Total	$	5,039	$	17,862

In connection with the 22 million euro variable rate facility, the Company entered into a swap transaction effectively exchanging the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of 4.42%. These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value which aggregated a gain of $0.3 million and $0.1 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, are reflected in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Some of the Company’s long-term debt facilities require the maintenance of certain financial covenants including a debt equity ratio of less than one and a debt to adjusted net income ratio of less than three. One facility contains cross default provisions by permitting acceleration of the debt if any affiliated company of the debtor defaults in any other debt facility, and the creditor of such other debt facility accelerates such debt and such affiliated debtor does not in good faith contest such default and acceleration. The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions of our debt agreements. Using December 31, 2010 exchange rates, maturities of long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2010 are $11.1 million in 2011 and $5.0 million in 2012.

At December 31, 2010, options for 823,075 shares were available for future grant under the plans. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding is $4.9 million as of December 31, 2010 and unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding on Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock aggregated $1.7 million, which will be recognized over the next five years. The amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding of our majority-owned subsidiary, IPSA, was 1.0 million euro. Options under IPSA plans vest four years after grant.

The weighted average fair values of the options granted by Inter Parfums, Inc. during 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $5.59, $4.40 and $3.36 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of options granted. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are set forth in the following table. Expected volatility is estimated based on historic volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses the simplified method in developing its estimate of the expected term of the option as historic data regarding employee exercise behavior is incomplete for the new vesting parameters recently instituted by the Company. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option and the dividend yield reflects the assumption that the dividend payout as authorized by the Board of Directors would increase as the earnings of the Company and its stock price continue to increase.

(14)	Net Income Attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. Common Shareholders

Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Net earnings attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per share assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”), is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. All share and per share amounts for dates and periods prior to the stock split discussed in Note 13 have been restated to reflect the retroactive effect of the stock split. The reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

(16)	Income Taxes

The Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006. The French Tax Authorities commenced an examination of the French subsidiary’s income tax returns for 2006 through 2008 in the first quarter of 2010 that was completed early 2011. As of December 31, 2010, no significant adjustments were reported by the French Tax Authorities on the subsidiary’s income tax positions. Management is currently evaluating those proposed adjustments and if accepted, the Company does not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-65-1. The Company did not recognize any increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and has no uncertain tax position at December 31, 2010. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. No interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented and there is no accrual for interest and penalties at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2010 state net operating loss carry-forwards, subject to applicable state apportionment, for New York State and New York City tax purposes of approximately $7.2 million and for New Jersey tax purposes of approximately $5.2 million expire at various dates through 2012. Valuation allowances had been provided on the potential benefit of such state net operating loss carry-forwards as it was determined that future tax benefits from option compensation deductions might prevent the net operating loss carry-forwards from being fully utilized. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, $0.2 million, $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively of such valuation allowances were realized which are equal to the benefits realized from the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards. The amount realized and any future realization of the valuation allowance is credited to additional paid-in capital.

In addition, valuation allowances of $0.9 million and $0.8 million have been provided in 2010 and 2009, respectively, against certain foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, as it was determined that future profitable operations from certain foreign subsidiaries might not be sufficient to realize the full amount of net operating loss carry-forwards recognized. In 2008, one of our foreign subsidiaries was merged into IPSA and as a result of the merger the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.7 million from the utilization of certain foreign operating loss carry-forwards including those for which valuation allowances had been previously recorded.

No further valuation allowances have been provided as management believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in the reduction of future taxable income.

The Company has not provided for U.S. deferred income taxes on $182 million of undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 since the Company intends to reinvest most of these earnings in its foreign operations indefinitely and the Company believes it has sufficient foreign tax credits available to offset any potential tax on amounts that have been and are planned to be repatriated.
