Item 5.  Other Events.

         Inter Parfums, Inc. (the "Company"), announced today that LV Capital, a
 wholly-owned subsidiary of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. ("LVMH") and
 the two principal shareholders of Inter Parfums, Inc., Messrs. Jean Madar and
 Philippe Benacin, have reached an agreement in principle for LV Capital to
 increase its equity ownership in the Company, to 20% of the outstanding shares
 at $12.00 per share, by purchasing outstanding shares, including shares held by
 the principal shareholders, and shares underlying outstanding options. LVMH
 previously filed a Schedule 13D which disclosed that it had accumulated 6.3% of
 the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Inter Parfums.

         The agreement in principal is subject to the execution and delivery of
 formal, written agreements, and routine closing conditions, including
 regulatory compliance. Subject to the foregoing conditions, the closing is
 expected to occur in early November 1999.

         In addition, LV Capital and the Company have agreed in principle upon
 certain corporate governance issues, including increasing the number of Board
 members from seven (7) to ten (10) and granting two (2) seats on the Board to
 designees of LV Capital.

         Further, in return for LV Capital becoming a strategic partner of the
 Company, LV Capital is to be granted a preemptive right to purchase shares of
 the Company for cash at fair market value upon issuance of shares to any party
 other than LV Capital, subject to certain exceptions. Finally, LV Capital is to
 agree to a standstill agreement, which includes a cap on the amount of shares
 that LV Capital can purchase equal to 25% of the outstanding shares of Common
 Stock.
