LONDON/PARIS, April 16 (Reuters) - Coty on Thursday said it is not in talks to sell any of its prestige brand licenses, denying a report by luxury news site Miss Tweed that the U.S. beauty company was discussing selling its Hugo Boss and Burberry licenses to Paris-based Interparfums IPAR.PA.

"Any suggestion that Coty is in talks to transfer or sell prestige brand licences is categorically false and without merit," a Coty spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.

Interparfums CEO Philippe Benacin also denied that any talks were taking place. "There are currently no discussions whatsoever underway," he said.
