Excerpt: Coty, Inc. is the world's largest fragrance company. It is also a beauty products manufacturer whose main businesses are fragrances (65% of revenue), followed by color cosmetics (20%), toiletries (12%) and skin care (3%). It is known for its cooperation with designers and celebrities for the creation of fragrances; prominent among them are David and Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé Knowles, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jennifer Lopez. Coty, Inc. is a century-old fragrance manufacturer that also produces cosmetics and other health and beauty aids. Founded by a Corsican who exploited his marketing knack to become, reputedly, the richest man in France, the company has experienced numerous changes in ownership and management over the years. It is the world's leading maker of mass-market fragrances for men and women. Coty scents have existed since François Coty created his first perfume, La Rose Jacqueminot, in 1904. Its range includes fragrances and colognes sold by mass retailers and prestige brands found in department stores. Coty's brands include Jennifer Lopez, JOOP!, Jovan, Rimmel, Stetson, and Vivienne Westwood. The company also offers aromatherapy, foot care, nail care, and sun care items. Following its acquisition of Unilever's fragrances division (UCI) in May 2005, it has become the world's largest manufacturer of mass-market fragrances. The company has its headquarters in both New York City and Paris, France. Coty is privately owned by Joh. A. Benckiser GmbH, the German holding company that manages the interests of the family of Johann A. Benckiser. Coty was acquired in 1996 to operate its fragrance and cosmetics businesses. The company was a subsidiary of Pfizer from 1963 to 1992. Born on the island of Corsica in 1875, François Spoturno was orphaned at an early age and reared by a grandmother. After leaving school he drifted to Marseille and then, in 1900, Paris, where he worked as a haberdashery salesman. Foll
