CHRISTOPHER DiCAS HAUTE PARFUMERIE

Wholesale & Selective Distribution Agreement – General Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 16 July 2026
Governing Version: English

PREAMBLE

Christopher DiCas Haute Parfumerie is a founder-led, independent Maison defined by artistic authorship, radical transparency, and controlled exclusivity. Every creation is conceived as a collectible luxury object, individually signed and protected as intellectual property.

Access to the Maison is governed by a strict selective distribution philosophy, in accordance with EU Vertical Block Exemption Regulation (EU) 2022/720. Global distribution remains intentionally restricted. The Maison partners exclusively with elite niche perfumeries, concept stores, galleries, and institutions capable of communicating artistic depth—not volume.

By engaging with the Maison as a wholesaler or distributor, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these General Terms & Conditions.

1. ELIGIBILITY AND APPROVAL

1.1 Qualification

All prospective partners must complete a formal application and provide full corporate documentation. The Maison reserves the right to request completion of a Discovery Kit qualification.

A qualification fee of €20 applies and will be credited in full against the opening wholesale order upon approval. This qualification process ensures alignment with the Maison’s artistic, commercial, and selective distribution standards.

1.2 Approval

Approval is granted solely at the discretion of Christopher DiCas Haute Parfumerie.

Approval is personal, non-transferable, and may be revoked at any time should the partner breach these Terms or act in any manner detrimental to the integrity, prestige, reputation, or exclusivity of the Maison.

2. COMMERCIAL TERMS, PRICING AND PAYMENT

2.1 Minimum Order Quantities

  • Opening Order MOQ: 24 units (mixed assortment permitted)

All allocations remain subject to artisanal production capacity and product availability.

2.2 Recommended Retail Price

The global Recommended Retail Price (“RRP”) is established at €225 per 50 ml.

All wholesale pricing is strictly confidential.

To preserve brand equity and protect the selective distribution network, authorized partners agree to maintain the Maison’s recommended retail pricing. Unauthorized discounting, promotional pricing, couponing, cashback offers, marketplace price reductions, or any direct or indirect price devaluation constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of distribution rights.

2.3 Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • all opening orders;

  • all international orders; and

  • any order designated by the Maison,

must be paid 100% in advance by bank transfer.
