About Philippe Benacin

Philippe Benacin cofounded French fragrance company Interparfums in 1982, along with Jean Madar.

The pair started the company out of business school after learning in class about the high margins of the fragrance industry.

They took the business public on the NASDAQ in 1988 at a $4 million valuation. It is now worth more than $3 billion.

Benacin became President of the company in 1994, and has been the CEO of Interpafums' European subsidiary since 2018.

Benacin oversees the company's European operations, which account for 65% of net sales.
