Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The Company's long-term business strategy of building core volume and
profitability, developing products in new categories, exploring and closing on
strategic acquisitions, and pursuing expansion in international markets, have
resulted in another record for quarterly growth in sales and earnings.

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to June 30, 1994

Net sales increased 45% to $22.2 million, as compared to $15.2 million in 1994. 
This increase reflects the Company's ability to integrate new product lines with
existing product offerings, thus, creating greater opportunities to serve the
needs of our customers.  Sales generated by the Company's domestic operations
increased 56%.  Such growth is primarily the result of our recently acquired
Cutex nail care and lip color product line which did not exist in the second
quarter of 1994.
  
Sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 33%; at comparable foreign
currency exchange rates, sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased
14%.  Such increase reflects new product introductions under the Ombre Rose and
Burberrys labels.  

The Company's primary sales efforts are focused on capitalizing on its expanding
list of customer relationships both domestically and abroad.  With efficient
product development and a strong national sales force, the Company can now offer
all customers its growing collection of fragrance, personal care and color
cosmetics products.    

Gross profit margin for 1995 increased to 50% of sales from 46% in 1994.  Sales
of Cutex products continue to enable the Company to improve overall gross
margin.  However, as discussed below, such sales require additional selling
expenditures.  The Company's business lines, excluding Cutex, generated a 46%
gross margin in both 1995 and 1994.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 36% of net sales in
1995 as compared to 31% in 1994.   The increase is primarily the result of
promotion and advertising expenses required for certain new product lines.  In
addition, most licensed product lines call for royalties to be paid based on
sales volume and some require minimum advertising expenditures.  After 1995,
with a full year of sales for most new product lines, the Company believes it
will once again be in a position to leverage its selling, general and
administrative expenses with increased sales volume.

                JEAN PHILIPPE FRAGRANCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Interest expense increased to $287,000 in 1994 from $173,000 in 1993. The
Company uses its available credit lines, as needed, to finance its working
capital needs.  

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 23% to $1.6

million compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior
year.  Earnings per share increased 23% to $0.16 per share compared to $0.13 per
share for the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 10,458,483 in 1995 and
10,538,411 in 1994. 


     Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to June 30, 1994

Net sales increased 46% to $43.8 million, as compared to $30.0 million in 1994. 
This increase reflects the Company's ability to integrate new product lines with
existing product offerings, thus, creating greater opportunities to serve the
needs of our customers.  Sales generated by the Company's domestic operations
increased 51%.  Such growth is primarily the result of our recently acquired
Cutex nail care and lip color product line which did not exist in the first half
of 1994.
  
Sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 40%; at comparable foreign
currency exchange rates, sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased
23%.  Such increase reflects new product introductions under the Ombre Rose and
Burberrys labels.  

The Company's primary sales efforts are focused on capitalizing on its expanding
list of customer relationships both domestically and abroad.  With efficient
product development and a strong national sales force, the Company can now offer

cosmetics products.    

Gross profit margin for 1995 increased to 50% of sales from 46% in 1994.  Sales

margin.  However, as discussed below, such sales require additional selling

gross margin in both 1995 and 1994.

1995 as compared to 31% in 1994.   The increase is primarily the result of

administrative expenses with increased sales volume.

Interest expense increased to $530,000 in 1995 from $291,000 in 1994. The
Company uses its available credit lines, as needed, to finance its working
capital needs.  


In 1995, as a result of the precipitous decline of the U.S. dollar relative to
the French franc, the Company incurred a loss on foreign currency of $259,000 as
compared to a loss of $87,000 in 1994.  The Company, on occasion enters into
foreign currency forward exchange contracts as a hedge for short-term
intercompany borrowings.  No material hedge transactions were entered into
during 1995.    

The Company recognized a net gain on sale of stock of a subsidiary aggregating
$20,000 in 1995 and $113,000 in 1994.  The 1995 gain resulted from the
conversion of debt into common stock of a consolidated subsidiary and the 1994
gain resulted from the sale of common stock of the consolidated subsidiary. 
Such issuances of shares has been accounted for as a gain on sale of stock of a
subsidiary and is not part of a broader corporate reorganization contemplated by
the Company.  Although additional shares may be issued in the future, the
Company has no plans to spin-off its subsidiary nor to repurchase the shares
previously issued.  

The Company's effective income tax rate was 39% in 1995 and 40% in 1994. 

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased 28% to $3.2 million
compared to $2.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. 
Results include a net gain from the sale of common stock of a subsidiary of
$20,000 in 1995 and $113,000 in 1994.  Excluding such gain, net income increased
33% and earnings per share increased 35% to $0.31 per share compared to $0.23
per share for the corresponding period of the prior year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 10,443,885 in 1995 and
10,456,086 in 1994.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's financial position continues to show solid strength as a result of
profitable operating results and positive operating cash flow.  At June 30,
1995, working capital aggregated $32.6 million and the Company had cash and cash
equivalents on hand of approximately $6.1 million.  The Company's Board of
Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock and as of June 30, 1995, 238,800 shares had been purchased at an
average price per share of $8.51.

The Company's short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by
available cash at June 30, 1995, cash generated by operations and short-term
credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks.  The principal credit
facility for 1995 is a $12.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided
by a domestic commercial bank.  Borrowings under the domestic revolving line of
credit are due on demand and bear interest at the bank's prime lending rate.  

Management of the Company believes that funds generated from operations,
supplemented by its available credit facilities, will provide it with sufficient

resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.

Operating activities provided $280,000 of net cash for the six months ended June
30, 1995.  The Company continues to closely monitor and improve its procedures
with respect to collection of outstanding receivables and inventory levels
reflect the increase necessary to support the upcoming selling season and new
product introductions scheduled for shipment beginning in August of 1995.  

Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which the Company operates
have not had a significant impact on operating results for the period ended June
30, 1995.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     The Company previously reported that the Town of Kearney had commenced an
administrative proceeding against the fee owner and managing agent of a public
warehouse located at 100 Central Avenue, South Kearney, New Jersey ("the South
Kearney Warehouse"), where the Company is one of several lessees.  Although the
Company had been provided with a copy of an administrative order directing that
the South Kearney Warehouse be vacated by January 13, 1995, the Town of Kearney
granted the Company's request to remain in the South Kearney Warehouse until
October 31, 1995.

     In July 1995 the Company entered into a lease for warehouse space at 60
Stults Road, South Brunswick, New Jersey (the "South Brunswick Warehouse").  The
commencement date of the lease for the South Brunswick Warehouse is subject to
vacation by the existing tenant, and receipt by the Company of certain local
governmental approvals.  Management believes that it will be able to vacate the
South Kearney Warehouse and move into the South Brunswick Warehouse prior to
October 31, 1995.
