Slightly ahead of expectations

Interparfums’ sales grew 7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 to US$386m, bringing growth across the year to 2% and hitting a record $1.49bn sales.

The performance of the fragrance specialist was slightly ahead of expectations, and came “while effectively navigating macroeconomic headwinds and the introduction of tariffs in the US”, said Jean Madar, Chairman and CEO of Interparfums.

Posted by Robin on 3 March 2026 2 Comments

Until about the mid 20th century, trademarks applied only to logos or wordmarks, until the category was expanded to include sounds such as the Intel “bong” and colors like Tiffany Blue. Now India joins the nations that recognize an even more elusive sense than sight and hearing: smell.

In November 2025, India approved the application filed by Japanese company Sumitomo Rubber Industries for a scent described as, “Floral fragrance / smell reminiscent of roses as applied to [tires]”. The move signals a decisive shift in the way Indian trademark law engages with non-traditional marks.
