EX-99.1 CHARTER

Exhibit 99.1

INTER PARFUMS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

New York, New York, November 10, 2004 - Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ National Market: IPAR) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Third Quarter 2004 Compared to Third Quarter 2003:

• Net sales rose 17% to $67.1 million from $57.4 million; at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales were up 11% for the period;
• Gross margin increased to 50% in the 2004 period, as compared to 48% in 2003;
• S,G&A expenses as a percentage of sales were 38% compared to 33%;
• Income from operations declined 5% to $8.0 million from $8.4 million;
• Net income declined 14% to $4 million from $4.7 million; and,
• Diluted EPS were $0.20 compared to $0.23.

Sales for the first nine months of 2004 totaled $172.2 million, an increase of 26% from $136.4 million, in the same period last year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales rose 21%. Net income through September 30, 2004 was $12.2 million, up 21% compared to $10.1 million in the same period one year earlier. Diluted earnings per share increased 18% year-to-date to $0.60 from 2003's $0.51.

As previously reported, the sales increase in the third quarter reflects the very successful launch of the Burberry Brit men's line in Europe, North America and Asia. Also contributing to the growth was the introduction of Paul Smith London, initial sales of Lanvin fragrances since July 1, 2004, when Inter Parfums acquired the fragrance license and inventory, and a modest sales contribution by Nickel, the men's skin care line in which Inter Parfums acquired a majority stake in the spring of 2004. Prestige product sales, which represented 83% of total sales, rose 26%, while mass market sales decreased by 22% for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Discussing third quarter operating income, Jean Madar, Chairman & CEO of Inter Parfums, noted, "Third quarter results were in line with our expectations. The increase in S,G&A as a percentage of sales reflects the increased Burberry royalty rate effective July 1, 2004, which was primarily responsible for the decline in profitability. As we stated in prior news releases and SEC filings, the higher royalty provisions under the new Burberry license agreement has and will have a short-term impact on our bottom line, particularly for the second half of 2004 and the first half of 2005. Nonetheless, the growth potential and long-term prospects of the world-renowned Burberry brand combined with the measures that we are taking to offset the increased costs associated with the Burberry fragrance business, should, over time, be reflected in improving operating margins."

Mr. Madar went on to say, "These proactive steps include increasing selling prices, cost-sharing with suppliers and distributors, establishing sales and distribution joint ventures or Company-owned subsidiaries. We also look forward to exploring additional facets of the agreement, including the skin care category."

He continued, "The Burberry Brit men's line will continue its global roll out over the coming months in South America and the Middle East. With respect to new fragrance introductions, Burberry Brit Red, the most recent addition to the successful Burberry Brit family, is being launched in Burberry retail stores and select retailers worldwide. In the spring of 2005, we will be introducing new Celine and Christian Lacroix fragrance families. In addition, we expect to introduce our first new Lanvin fragrance toward the end of 2005 or in early 2006."

Discussing the outlook for the Company, Mr. Greenberg stated, "We continue to expect to meet our net sales and net income goals for 2004 of approximately $228 million and $15.8 million or $0.77 per fully diluted share. With respect to 2005, we plan to issue our initial guidance for the year toward the end of this month."

The Company's financial position remains strong. At September 30, 2004, working capital aggregated $115.0 million resulting in a working capital ratio of 2.6 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $34.7 million or approximately $1.80 per outstanding share, while long-term debt was $14.8 million.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share will be payable on January 14, 2005 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2004.
