While there were no major launches this year, Lanvin fragrance sales increased 13% for the quarter and year-to-date due to continuing gains by Eclat d’Arpège and the 2012 introductions of Avant Garde and Jeanne Couture. With Montblanc Legend as the catalyst, Montblanc brand sales rose 72% in the second quarter and 75% through the first half.
