Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

        Our Paris-based subsidiary, Inter Parfums, S.A., and Boucheron Parfums SAS, have 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 Euros to Boucheron Parfums SAS as a lump sum, up front royalty payment. After a short transition period ending March 31, 2011 to terminate existing distribution arrangments of the former licensee, Inter Parfums, S.A. has agreed to purchase the remaining inventory, which we estimate will be approximately 1.3 million Euros.
