Coty Perfumes

Established in 1904 by François Coty, a visionary pioneer in the world of perfumery, Coty has evolved into a global corporation with 12,000 employees and a diverse collection of affordable mainstream cosmetic and fragrance brands. François Coty, renowned for his collaboration with René Lalique in introducing the modern flacon culture, revolutionized perfumery with iconic creations like "Chypre de Coty" in 1917, influencing an entire fragrance category. Beyond his olfactory talents, Coty was a savvy entrepreneur who recognized the potential of the cosmetics market and expanded his business internationally, catering to customers worldwide. Despite facing setbacks in his personal life and fortune, Coty's legacy continued through the management of his heirs and eventual acquisition by Pfizer in 1963, later passing to Joh. A. Benckiser GmbH in 1992. With a dedication to innovation and marketing, Coty remains a leading name in the beauty industry, offering a diverse range of products that are globally renowned for their quality and accessibility.
