ITEM 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


On January 7, 2005, Parlux Fragrances, Inc. (“Parlux”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement, effective January 6, 2005, (the “Agreement”) with Victory International (USA), LLC (“Victory”), whereby Parlux acquired the exclusive worldwide licensing rights, along with inventories, molds, designs and other assets, relating to the XOXO fragrance brand.  As consideration, Parlux paid Victory approximately $7.46 million, of which $2.55 million was in the form of a 60-day promissory note payable in two equal installments on February 6 and March 6, 2005.


On December 1, 2003, Victory had entered into a licensing agreement with Global Brand Holdings, LLC (the “Fragrance License”) to manufacture and distribute XOXO branded fragrances.  Under the Agreement, Victory assigned its rights, and Parlux assumed the obligations, under the Fragrance License.  Similar to Parlux’ other license agreements, the Fragrance License requires Parlux to pay a fixed royalty percentage and to spend minimum amounts for advertising based on sales volume.


Parlux and Victory are parties to another agreement, dated March 28, 2003, whereby Parlux sublicensed its rights to manufacture and distribute certain Fred Hayman Beverly Hills fragrance products.  The initial term of the sublicense agreement is for five years, renewable every five years at Victory’s option.
