The French company Interparfums, which produces Jimmy Choo and Coach perfumes among others, announced on Thursday that it had taken over two additional licenses. These are the fragrances by David Beckham and Nautica.
“Interparfums today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, global license agreement with David Beckham for 20 years,” says a statement from the group, which was published on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. “The agreement covers the creation, development, production and distribution of perfumes.”
“I am very pleased to announce my partnership with Interparfums to further develop my perfumes in the long term,” the former England footballer is quoted as saying in the statement. “With their world-leading team, we will create distinctive and timeless products,” he added.
For this new license, Interparfums expects annual sales of over 50 million US dollars (around 41.74 million euros) in the first few years. A new ‘Signature’ fragrance is scheduled to be unveiled by the end of 2029.
The head of Authentic Brands Group, current owner of the brand David Beckham, said: “Given the incredible success that Interparfums has had with the Guess perfumes, we are confident that they will bring the same level of creativity, quality and long-term value to the Beckham brand.”
Authentic Brands Group also owns the Nautica brand. An agreement for the creation, production and distribution of the perfumes for 20 years was announced on the same day. With this brand, the group is aiming for annual sales of $70 million in the first few years.
The amounts for purchasing the licenses were not disclosed.
On January 22nd, the Interparfums Group announced a 2.1 percent increase in sales for 2025 to 899 million euros. Despite the difficulties in the US market, an operating margin of “between 19 and 19.5 percent” is expected.
