Part I. Financial Information

Item I. Financial Statements

    In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position

periods presented. Such financial statements have been condensed in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
therefore, do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction

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 March 31, 1995 Compared to March 31, 1994

Net sales increased 47% to $21.6 million, as compared to $14.7 million in 1994.
This increase is reflective of the Company's success in integrating new product
lines with pre-existing product offerings, and creating greater opportunities

to serve the needs of our customers. Sales generated by the Company's domestic
operations increased 46%. 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 quarter of 1994.

Sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased 49%; at comparable foreign
currency exchange rates, sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries increased
31%. Such increase reflects recent new product introductions under the Ombre
Rose and Burberrys labels.

In connection with recent acquisitions and license agreements, the Company has
restructured its retail sales force and has added additional experienced
salespeople. The Company's primary efforts are now focused on capitalizing on
its expanding list of customer relationships. 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 51% 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.

Interest expense increased to $242,000 in 1995 from $118,000 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 $239,000 as
compared to a loss of $92,000 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.

In 1994, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of stock of a subsidiary
aggregating $91,000. No such gain was recognized in 1995. The 1994 gain resulted
from the sale by Inter Parfums, S.A., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company,
of 10,000 shares of its common stock to enable the stock of Inter Parfums, S.A.
to commence trading on the over-the-counter Paris Stock Exchange. This issuance

of shares by Inter Parfums, S.A. 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 both 1995 and 1994.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 33% to $1.6
million compared to $1.2 million for the corresponding quarter of the prior
year. Results for the prior year included a net gain from the sale of common
stock of a subsidiary of $91,000 or $0.01 per share. Excluding such gain, net
income increased 43% and earnings per share increased 45% to $0.16 per share
compared to $0.11 per share for the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 10,429,287 in 1995 and
10,373,760 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 March 31,
1995, working capital aggregated $31.8 million and the Company had cash and cash
equivalents on hand of approximately $7.6 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 March 31, 1995, 202,800 shares had been purchased at an
average price per share of $8.40.

                JEAN PHILIPPE FRAGRANCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company's short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by
available cash at March 31, 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 $2.6 million of net cash in the three months ended
March 31, 1995. The Company continues to closely monitor and improve its
procedures with respect to collection of outstanding receivables and its
purchasing and production activities. Inventory levels reflect anticipated needs
for the upcoming selling season and new product introductions.

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
March 31, 1995.
