About Abercrombie & Fitch Fragrances
Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister fragrances are made by Inter Parfums under worldwide licences entered into in 2014, both of which expire on 14 March 2028. The retailer keeps the names. The licensee's own launches began with First Instinct in 2016 and now include the Authentic and Away duos and, in 2025, 100% Passion; separately, an expanded distribution agreement signed in March 2025 gave it global distribution of Fierce, the retailer's own best-selling men's fragrance, terminable by either party on two years' notice.
Trademark record for Abercrombie & Fitch Fragrances
The USPTO record for the Abercrombie & Fitch Fragrances mark lists Abercrombie & Fitch Trading Co as the owner of record (serial number 88726126). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[2]

About the owner: Inter Parfums
Inter Parfums is a publicly listed company headquartered in New York, United States, founded in 1982.
Inter Parfums has been in the prestige fragrance business since 1982 and answers the question of who is behind a designer perfume more often than the designer does. It develops, produces and distributes fragrances for about two dozen fashion, jewellery and lifestyle names, most of them under licence from the brand owner rather than owned outright, and it owns no factories: it acts as a general contractor and has third-party fillers assemble the finished goods. European brands run through Interparfums SA in Paris, a separately listed company 72 per cent owned by the New York parent, and 28 per cent of whose shares trade on Euronext. Its four largest brands in 2025 were Jimmy Choo at 17 per cent of net sales, Coach and Montblanc at 15 per cent each and GUESS at 12 per cent.
