FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTER PARFUMS, INC. REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Net Sales Up 32% and Net Income Increases 25%

New York, NY - May 6, 2003 - Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ National Market:
IPAR) today reported record results for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

First Quarter 2003 Compared to First Quarter 2002:
X	Net sales increased 32% to $37.6 million from $28.4 million.  In comparable
	foreign currency exchange rates, current first quarter net sales were 15%
	ahead of last year's first quarter;
X	Prestige product sales grew 37% (12% in constant dollars) and mass market
	sales were up 21%;
X	Gross margin was 47.8% compared to 48.2%.  The modest drop was due to the
	declining rate of the dollar relative to the euro;
X	SG&A rose slightly to 35.2% of net sales versus 34.8%, which was
	attributable to higher insurance, rent and payroll costs;
X	Net income rose 25% to $2.5 million and diluted earnings per share
	increased 30% to $0.13, as compared to $2.0 million and $0.10 per diluted
	share in 2002.

Commenting on the results, Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "The new year started on a strong note with healthy gains in both
prestige and mass market sales.  We achieved double digit sales growth in each
of our major prestige brands, highlighted by the continued roll out of the
Christian Lacroix Bazar fragrance line, as well as our two fragrance line
extensions, Essence Pure by S.T. Dupont and Paul Smith Extreme."

Mr. Madar continued, "The launch of a Burberry Touch brand extension, Burberry
Tender Touch, began this month.  Other new product plans for the current
quarter include seasonal, limited edition fragrances under the Celine and
Christian Lacroix labels.  Our major new prestige product launches are coming
in the second half of 2003.  We have our first ever Diane von Furstenberg
brand products - both fragrance and color cosmetics - hitting high end
specialty stores in October.  In addition, an entirely new Burberry fragrance
family will make its debut in the fourth quarter.

"With respect to our mass market product lines," Mr. Madar stated, "the
Tristar brands acquisition continues to benefit our alternative designer
fragrances lines and our new product development program for cosmetics and
health and beauty aids is well underway.  We plan to bring out new mass market
products throughout 2003."

sales and net income projection of $150 million and $11 million, respectively,
we are quite confident about our prospects for the year.  Profitable
operations and the cash flow it generates continue to fortify our balance
sheet. While growing the top line by 32% and remaining free of long-term debt,
we closed the first quarter with:
X	working capital aggregating  $88 million;
X	a working capital ratio of 3.3 to 1;
X	a net book value of $4.46 per outstanding share and
X	cash and cash equivalents totaling $40 million."
