Interparfums, Inc. IPAR is strengthening its long-term fragrance portfolio through an extended partnership around the Roberto Cavalli brand. The company and Marquee Brands have renewed Interparfums’ exclusive worldwide license for Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli fragrances for another 20 years, extending the agreement through Dec. 31, 2046. This agreement covers the continued creation, development and global distribution of fragrances under both brands.
The renewal gives Interparfums greater visibility to develop the Cavalli fragrance business over an extended period. Since adding the license in 2023, the company has introduced extensions and collections across established franchises, including Uomo, Just Cavalli and Marbleous. The 2025 launch of Serpentine also helped broaden the brand’s presence in important markets. With additional launches planned, the longer agreement provides scope to support existing franchises while introducing new products to a wider consumer base.
Roberto Cavalli has maintained positive momentum within Interparfums’ portfolio. Sales for the brand increased 8% in the first half of 2026, supported by new product introductions, including Marbleous Cypress. Serpentine also continued to perform strongly globally. This growth came despite disruption in the Middle East, where Roberto Cavalli is Interparfums’ largest brand, highlighting the importance of geographic diversification as the franchise expands.
The extended license should support continued investment in the Cavalli fragrance business, including future launches, franchise extensions and broader distribution opportunities. It also provides continuity for a brand that has been expanding within Interparfums’ portfolio. The Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli fragrance licenses will continue to be operated by Interparfums Italia Srl, its wholly owned Italian subsidiary, supporting ongoing product development and global distribution.
