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

The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of fragrances, cosmetics
and personal care products, where innovation, diversity and commitment to
creating quality products for sale at intelligent prices are achieved.

The Company and its French subsidiary Inter Parfums, S.A., specialize in
prestige perfumes (63% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999) and
consumer perfumes and cosmetics:

o Prestige products -- For each prestige brand, owned or licensed, the Company
  develops an original concept for the perfume consistent with world market
  trends;

o Consumer products -- Domestically, the Company designs, markets and
  distributes inexpensive fragrances and personal care products including
  alternative designer fragrances and mass market cosmetics. Inter Parfums S.A.
  designs, markets and distributes a broad range of inexpensive fragrances,
  highlighting the "Made in France" label.

     THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX
     MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $22.2 million, as
compared to $24.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $41.8 million, as compared to
$44.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Sales generated by
the Company's French subsidiary, Inter Parfums, S.A., increased 3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior
year. There was no material effect of foreign currency exchange rates during the
period. Sales within the Company's prestige fragrance lines increased 5% while
sales of consumer products decreased 23%.

The increase in sales of prestige fragrances is in line with management
expectations and reflects expanded distribution of the S.T. Dupont fragrance
line which was launched in September 1998. While several new prestige fragrance
projects are on the drawing board, most have target launch dates in the year
2000. These projects include, the launch of the Company's Paul Smith fragrance
line, two new perfume lines under the Burberry name, as well as two new perfume
lines under the S.T. Dupont name.

                      INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In March 1999, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with the
Christian Lacroix Company (a division of Group LVMH). This new association, with
a prestigious fashion label, will further strengthen the Company's position in
prestige fragrance distribution. The first Christian Lacroix product line is
expected to be launched internationally at the end of 1999, on the basis of a
project currently under development. Management is also actively pursuing new
license agreements to build upon the strength of its existing portfolio.

The success of the Company's prestige fragrance lines was mitigated by sales
declines in its consumer products lines, including the domestic alternative
designer fragrances. The economic situation in Eastern Europe, Brazil and other
Latin American countries continues to affect sales in these territories. In
addition, the market for alternative designer fragrances is very price sensitive
and the consolidation of customers through numerous announced mergers of mass
market customers is also affecting sales as customers reduce inventory levels
and eliminate duplicate vendors. This trend is expected to continue throughout
1999 and is affecting the entire industry.

In an attempt to combat the negative impact of this industry-wide trend, in
January 1999 the Company introduced its newest consumer products line, "Parfums
Deja New." Parfums Deja New was conceived, designed and created entirely
in-house, and is produced domestically. This line, which consists of an original
fragrance, unique packaging and premium ingredients, has a suggested retail
price of $15.00 to $35.00. It was created to capitalize on a recent developing
trend in the fragrance market, the blurring of the distinction between prestige
and mass market products. Initial orders have exceeded original expectations and
management expects this line to contribute positively to sales and earnings in
1999. However, for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, sales generated by
Parfums Deja New did not fully compensate for sales declines in the Company's
other consumer product lines.

Gross profit margin aggregated approximately 47% for all periods presented. The
Company's prestige fragrance lines generate a slightly higher gross profit
margin than the Company's consumer product lines. Sales of the Company's
prestige line products continue to experience solid growth, and therefore,
represent a greater portion of the Company's overall sales. These gross profit
margin benefits have offset the negative affect of the lower margin consumer
product sales and closeout sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $8.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $9.1 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year and aggregated 37% of sales in the 1999
period, as compared to 38% in the 1998 period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses declined to $15.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to $16.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior
year and aggregated 37% of sales in both periods.

                      INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Domestic selling, general and administrative expenses declined 27% to $2.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $2.9 million
for the corresponding period of the prior year. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses was 36% for both periods. During
this period of weak domestic consumer product sales, management has instituted
extraordinarily tight controls in an effort to keep spending in line with sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by Inter Parfums S.A. was
$6.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.
Such spending is necessary to support the Company's growing portfolio of
prestige fragrance brands and to build upon each brand's awareness.

Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, which is slightly below that incurred
during the corresponding 1998 periods. The Company uses its credit lines, as
needed, to finance its working capital needs. As a result of profitable
operating results and positive cash flow, overall borrowing levels continue to
decline.

On occasion, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts
as a hedge for short-term inter company borrowings, and for receivables to be
collected in a foreign currency. Such investments did not have any material
effect on the Company's results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 40% for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to 41% for the corresponding period of the prior year. The
1998 rate was negatively impacted by losses from the Company's Brazilian
subsidiary for which no tax benefit could be recognized at the time. The Company
made its decision to close its Brazilian subsidiary during the second half of
1998, and simultaneously with that decision, the Company was able to recognize
the expected tax benefit.

Net income was $1.1 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $1.2 million or $0.13 per diluted share for
the corresponding period of the prior year.

Net income was $2.2 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared to $2.4 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the
corresponding period of the prior year.

                      INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Weighted average shares outstanding aggregated 7.4 million and 7.7 million for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, as compared
to 8.8 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998. On
a diluted basis, average shares outstanding were 7.9 million for both for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 9.2 million and
9.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. Such decline is the result of the Company's ongoing stock
repurchase program.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As a result of continued profitable operating results, the Company's financial
position remains very strong. At June 30, 1999, working capital aggregated $43
million with a working capital ratio of almost 3 to 1. The Company had cash and
cash equivalents on hand of $18 million, its net book value aggregated $6.19 per
outstanding share as of June 30, 1999 and the Company had virtually no long-term
debt.

The Company is confident in the long-term growth potential of its business. As
such, it has consistently used its common stock repurchase program in an effort
to increase shareholder value. During the six month period ended June 30, 1999,
the Company continued to repurchase its shares. During such period the Company
repurchased 1,045,200 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of
$6.47.

Since the inception of the repurchase program, which began in 1995, the Company
has repurchased 2.9 million shares of its common stock, or approximately 29% of
outstanding shares, at an average price of $6.92 per share, bringing total
shares outstanding to its present level of 7.4 million.

The Company's short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by
available cash at June 30, 1999, cash generated by operations and short-term
credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit
facilities for 1999 are a $12.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit
provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately $12.0 million in credit
lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions.

Cash provided by operating activities aggregated $1.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to a (use) of cash for operating activities of
($1.7) million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Cash provided by
operating activities continues to be the Company's primary source of funds to
finance operating needs, investments in new ventures, as well as to finance the
Company's stock repurchase program.

Management of the Company believes that funds generated from operations,
supplemented by its present cash position and available credit facilities, will
provide it with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably
foreseeable future operating needs.

The Company has substantially completed all projects to address "Year 2000"
compliance with respect to its internal information systems. As such, management
believes that "Year 2000" transition will not have a material adverse effect on
future results.

In January 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established
permanent fixed rates between their existing currencies and the European Union's
common currency ("the Euro"). The transition period for the introduction of the
Euro is scheduled to phase in over a period ending January 1, 2002. The
introduction of the Euro and the phasing out of the other currencies will not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 six months ended
June 30, 1999.
