responsible for olfactive sensations like Dior’s J’Adore.“When I was around four years old, I wanted to know

how flowers got into the perfume bottle,” becker said. “Now, I can actually answer my own question.”

ms. Loren wanted to go into pharmaceutical research and ended up taking a job close to home as a fragrance developer and evaluator. “I remember the strong smell of Pierre Cardin’s fragrance on my father and Chanel No. 5 on my mother,” Loren said. “Fragrance is emotional, and we need to make it so that there is no longer a barrier between the product and the consumer.”

They also discussed their opinions of the most significant feature of a fragrance.

“It needs to have memorability,” becker said. “You need to be able to recognize it and take a strong message from it.”

ms. Loren talked about the power of meaning, and the importance of the quality of raw materials. “A product with meaning is going to break through the clutter,” Loren said. “After lots of trials, I’ll know which is the right one when it brings a certain imagery to my mind and it just clicks.”

News anchor Katie Couric presented the “triumphant trifecta,” Dr. Hawa Abdi and her daughters, with their award for their efforts in changing the lives of Somalis.

Pop star Fergie accepted her award from actress Kate Hudson, and told girls in the audience “to have an honest voice and know how to use it.” Adventurer Katie Spotz was awarded for raising money to fund the global need for clean drink-ing water, and mississippi-native Constance McMillen received her award for standing up for gay rights in order to take her girlfriend to her high school prom.

Award-winning actress Julia Roberts was presented her award by Oprah Winfrey, who said Julia is “a different kind of powerful woman because when she looks at you, she really sees you, and that makes a person feel valued.”

Dr. Susan Rice, United Nations ambassador, honored five women that are leaders of their countries: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, president Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, prime minister Jadranka Kosor of Croatia, prime minister Iveta Radicova of Slovakia and prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of Trinidad and Tobago.

And lastly, actor Stanley Tucci presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Cher, for her outstanding humanitarian efforts, especially with the Heroes Project for wounded veterans. Cher pointed up at the girls in the balcony and said, “Don’t take no for an answer. No is just some bullshit word someone made up.”

ESTÉE LAUDER DELIVERS PROMISING RESULTS

2010. Growing market share in every region, especially skin care, and negotiating the agreement to acquire Smashbox Cosmetics, the company delivered its best results ever despite uncertain economic conditions.

As the parent company of 25 prestige brands, estée Lauder has determined that newness drives the beauty industry. In order to continue their success, they have developed key strategic characteristics such as focusing on the biggest initiatives in the biggest markets, increasing advertising for the biggest innova-tions and adding television and digital to their mix of advertising.

According to Fabrizio Freda, president and Ceo of The estée Lauder Companies, the company’s monthly stock price increased 70.6% over the fiscal year, resulting in a $4.6 billion rise in market value. estée Lauder continues to deliver value to its shareholders, as manage-ment announced a 36% increase in its annual dividend from $0.55 per share to $0.75 per share.

As far as goals they would like to achieve by 2013, the company plans to cut costs by approximately $550 million and generate more than 60% of its total sales outside of the U.S. “Innovation is vital, and we see a large opportunity for growth in our near future,” Freda said.

CITYSCENE

The Clarins team gathered with Lord & Taylor executives to showcase the debut of

their redesigned beauty counter on November 3.

“everything has been redesigned to fit the Lord & Taylor atmosphere,” said Jonathan Zrihen, president and Ceo of Clarins North America. “We also wanted to be close to the entrance so shoppers could see our products as they enter—creating a traffic stopper.”

The counter has four access points and two service counters, allowing four customers to be serviced at a time. “We wanted to make sure the space was open and inviting,” Zrihen said. “We like to listen to customers and make sure we’re aware of their beauty concerns.”

Six Scents Parfums paired Givaudan perfumers Yann Vasnier, Roberto Flores-

Roux, Stephen Nilsen, Shyamala Maisondieu, Natalie Gracia and Christophe Raynaud with visionary fashion designers to create olfactory interpretations around a central theme and contribute the sales to a charitable cause. They came together to celebrate their collaboration at a party at the 3 Legged Dog in New York City on November 5.

each fragrance will be offered in a limited quantity of 3,000 bottles at over 220 retailers worldwide, and a large portion of the net pro-ceeds will go to War Child International.

Macy’s Herald Square in New York City welcomed makeup

artist and best-selling author Bobbi Brown on November 9 for a book-signing in celebration of her new book Beauty Rules, a beauty guide for young women. Filled with over 300 photographs, insider beauty tricks, before-and-after makeovers and real-life advice from beauty experts, models and celebrities, the book was written to help young women learn the beauty basics and then get creative and experiment with their look to ultimately find their own style.

Avon hosted a luncheon at A voce in New York City on November 3 to celebrate their new skin care

breakthrough, Anew Platinum, and discuss the redefinition of aging.

The face of the new product, actress Jacqueline Bisset, led a panel conversation with Anthony Gonzalez, senior manager of global skin care development for Avon, and the beauty editors from More, Ladies’ Home Journal and Better Homes & Gardens to talk about what women are looking for in terms of skin care.

“This product is majorly flattering and has practically given me a new lease on life,” bisset said. “The feeling of feeling good is an addiction—and one worth working for.”

were happy to have America’s largest fragrance retailer on the show. I think the results Kim is going to see are going to be unbelievably impressive.”

During the episode, teams worked directly with ms. Kardashian to create an in-store retail display for her perfume. The winning team’s ideas will be incorporated into the market-ing campaign that will appear in Perfumania stores across the country.

“Donald and Kim are well respected business moguls and working with them was a very positive experience,” said Stephen Nussdorf, Perfumania’s chairman of the board. “We are excited to see the outcome of The Apprentice candidates’ promotional and marketing efforts.”

on the red carpet at the party, ms. Kardashian exclaimed, “I knew that doing the show was going to be intense and judgmental, but we Kardashian girls always love a good challenge.”

Whether she’s engaging viewers with her New York wit on QVC, or baking her makeup in a plant in Italy, Laura Geller is gleaming with the success of her brand Laura Geller Beauty Ingenuity, and she owes it all to her personal motto, “innovate, don’t imitate.”

Starting as a young makeup artist, ms. Geller knew she had a gift for teaching women how to use make-up. eventually her gift became gifts for hundreds of other women when she opened the doors to her Laura Geller makeup Studio on the Upper east Side in New York City. offering educational sessions for individuals and groups, she wants to interac-t i v e l y e d u c a t e women on the right way to use each of her products. “my store is a living laboratory,” Geller said. “Women are so voca l about their wants and needs, and my staff and I think we have something to offer them.”

Known for her color-corrective pigments and “baked” makeup, ms. Geller’s products reach a multitude of women—young to old and black to white. each product begins as a smooth liquid that is then infused with a variety of colors. The colors are then swirled together and baked for 24 hours on terracotta pans to create a rich texture and vibrancy. “The integrity of the ingredients in my products can be stabilized

because of the baked process being used,” Geller said. “We aren’t using machines to create the makeup, and no two are ever identical.”

Until this point in her life, ms. Geller has learned a great deal about managing her company—conquering challenges, embracing successes and being very careful so she doesn’t “implode.”

“I owe a great deal of my success to QvC, and the people that believe in me there,” Geller said. “Since 1997, I’ve been more comfortable on air than off. I know that I’m speaking to that one woman who is hungry for my knowledge.”

expanding her distribution inter-nationally, and to a fresh landscape of channels includ-i n g n u m e r o u s websites and Ulta, ms . Ge l le r has also recently made the move into the

newly created Macy’s Impulse section inside select macy’s stores. “I am so proud of the partnership,” Geller said. “macy’s is discovering the new niche brands of today and making them the stars of tomorrow.”

Using feedback from her rapidly growing Facebook page, ms. Geller is constantly brewing a pot of ideas for the future. “Five years from now I hope to see more of my makeup studios, maybe even in different cities,” she said. “I want to find more artists like myself who can understand the psyche of a woman as soon as she sits down.”

For a little more than two years, a team of perfumers and designers collaborated to create the latest Chloé fragrance, Love, Chloé.

The name was inspired by Hannah MacGibbon, creative director of Chloé, and the way she signs all her notes and messages to friends with “Love, Hannah.”

“Hannah wanted to capture the spontaneous, natural beauty of the Chloé woman, while revealing the elegance of a modern, grown-up Chloé woman,” sa id Phi l ippe Desroche, marketing director of Chloé for Coty Prestige.

The metallic t r i m o n t h e flacon and the delicate chain attached to the cap are emblem-a t i c o f Ch loé accessories and fashion.

Developed by Givaudan perfumers Louise Turner and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, the notes include orange blossom, pink pepper, iris absolute, lilac, hya-cinth, wisteria blossom, heliotropine, powdery musks, talc and rice powder.

“Love, Chloé embodies all the olfactory expressions of cosmetics, leaving a fine, powdery scent that is light and sensual with a slightly retro feel,” Turner said. “The color of the juice ties back to the fashion house of Chloé, and the nude richness of the Chloé fashion palette.”

The fragrance is available exclu-sively in the U.S. at Saks Fifth Avenue and distribution will expand to additional doors in January 2011. The collection includes 1.7 oz. and 2.5 oz. eau de parfums for $85.00 and $110.00, a shower gel for $50.00 and a body lotion for $45.00.

brazilian model Raquel Zimmerman is the face of the fragrance, and will be seen in international campaigns beginning in February.

“Raquel so well embodies the Chloé fragrance with her effortless-ness and chic femininity,” Desroche said. “It is all about the simplicity of style and contagious beauty.”

SEPHORA’S ENDLESS COLOR BLOCKBUSTER

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY 2010

on November 18. Rochelle Bloom, p r e s i d e n t o f Th e F r a g r a n c e Foundation, introduced Peter Siris, managing director of Guerilla Capital Management and columnist for the New York Daily News, as this year’s keynote speaker, to provide a U.S. and global economic overview of past, current and future trends. “The worst is over. Stocks are going up, and they will keep going up,” Siris said. “However, we are not cre-ating jobs and we aren’t re-inventing our economy, so people in other countries are moving ahead of us.”

A panel of fragrance industry experts also gave presentations to highlight their economic outlook for the last quarter and going forward. Susan Babinksy, senior vice presi-dent of consumer products for Kline Group, told guests that business is

moving in the right direction, with the most improvement showing in specialty stores and the online sector. “Department stores are hold-ing steady, but other channels are learning how to compete more successfully,” babinksy said.

ms. babinksy called attention to some of the fragrance industry’s “best-in-class,” including Marc Jacobs Bang, Justin Bieber My World, Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce and Ralph Lauren Big Pony. She also addressed the success of brands like Old Spice and Axe because of their ability to embrace social media mar-keting and attract consumers.

Candace Corlett, president of WSL Strategic Retail, focused on what the future holds for shopping and the lessons that shoppers have learned throughout the recession.

-Continued from Page 229

“Shoppers are looking online for the best prices, sticking to brands they can afford and they are willing to try products that cost less,” Corlett said. “Consumers now shop to live, not live to shop.”

Representing The Conference Board, economist Ken Goldstein discussed his research and analysis on recent economic trends and what it means for business in the U.S.

“We’re in the process of a big trans-formation,” Goldstein said. “We’re likely to see a very cold January and February, but by march and April we should be seeing some thaw.”

BEVERLY HILLS LAUNCHES FRAGRANCEThe City of beverly Hills, JT Brands, and the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to launch a fragrance collection that carries the beverly Hills name and trademark.

Firmenich perfumers developed scents incorporating plants and flowers native to beverly Hills, and architect Zoltan Pali of Studio Pali Fekete designed the bottle. The launch includes a trio of signature scents, “must Have,” “Rodeo Dr.” and “Iconic,” that portray the various moods and activities of a typical beverly Hills woman.

The fragrances are available begin-ning this month in select retailers in the U.S., France, United Kingdom and Dubai.

Fans waited in line to meet Katy, purchase the perfume and hear her discuss the making of Purr. Clowns performed for fans outside the tent with streamers, bubbles and puppets, and men juggled purple balloons and balls while guests waited in line.

Tents and balloons advertising “Purr” and “Katy Perry,” were set up around 9:00 am and fans lined the streets for most of the afternoon.

To celebrate the launch, a vIP party was held the same night at The bowery Hotel. Guests mingled with Katy over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, congratulating her on her recent marriage to actor Russell Brand, the success of her fragrance launch and her latest single “Firework,” sitting pretty at #2 on the iTunes Top 100 list.
