Interparfums to acquire 25% of www.origines-parfums.fr
Interparfums and Divabox, owner of the Origines-parfums e-commerce platform for beauty products, today announced the signing of a strategic agreement and an equity investment whereby Interparfums will acquire 25% of Divabox's capital through a reserved capital increase.
As a website of reference for all selective fragrance brands, Origines-parfums is a key French player in the online beauty market recognized for its customer relationship expertise.
For Origines-parfums, the agreement will provide the resources it needs to strengthen its existing organization and raise its online visibility to support its development in France and in Europe.
For Interparfums, this agreement will enhance the introduction of dedicated fragrance lines and products designed to address a specific consumer demand for this distribution channel and accelerate the Group's digital development.
Jean Philippe de Peretti, Chairman and CEO of Divabox, added: "Our goal is to exceed the milestone of €100 million in sales and become a European e-commerce leader for perfumes and cosmetics. This partnership with Interparfums will provide us with substantial operational and financial resources to maintain the pace of our strong growth."
Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO of Interparfums commented: "With online sales for perfumes and cosmetics growing every year, a trend that has been accelerated by the health crisis, we have been on the lookout for an opportunity to integrate an e-retail dimension since 2019. This partnership fits perfectly with this strategy."
