Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Inter Parfums, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that Mazars USA LLP (“Mazars”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, entered into a transaction with FORVIS, LLP (“FORVIS”) whereby substantially all of the partners and employees of Mazars joined FORVIS. As a result on the effective date of June 1, 2024, FORVIS changed its name to Forvis Mazars, LLP, and Mazars resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has appointed Forvis Mazars, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective June 1, 2024.

During the past two fiscal years and through June 1, 2024, there were no adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinion issued by Mazars, and no Mazars’s report on the financial statements for either of the past two years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding June 1, 2024, there were no disagreements with Mazars on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mazars, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
