Parlux has announced that it has signed an agreement with Iconic Fragrances, LLC (“Iconic”), a licensing company in which entertainment mogul and icon Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter is a principal. The agreement includes individual worldwide fragrance licenses for multiple Grammy award winning and multi-platinum selling international entertainers Rihanna and Kanye West. Iconic also is in the final stage of negotiations for a worldwide fragrance license with Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, and in discussions with a well-established female artist.
Neil Katz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Parlux said, “We have been negotiating this agreement for over nine months. We believe that its implementation, combined with the success of our core brands, will allow us to significantly increase revenues and improve our bottom line. The investments we have made to build a positive relationship with our customers and improve our standing in the industry made us an attractive partner for Iconic.”
Mr. Katz added, “We are extremely excited to begin work on our projects with Rihanna and Kanye West. Each is an extremely highly regarded celebrity at the top of his or her profession who is undoubtedly going to make an indelible impression in the fragrance industry, just as each has done in the entertainment world. Their stars continue to rise rapidly in the entertainment arena, which will represent a terrific springboard for us in launching their fragrance brands.
This agreement also enhances our attractiveness to other premier talents interested in associating with an established manufacturer and distributor of fragrance products.”
