USA- Assouline Publishing, the illustrated book publishing house behind such fashionable titles as Bettina Zilkha’s Ultimate Style: The Best of the Best Dressed List, Dolce & Gabbana’s Hollywood, Gladys Perint Palmer’s Fashion People, Linda Fargo’s Dreams Through the Glass, and Brooke de Ocampo’s Bright Young Things will release a new title this Fall Coty: Perfumer and Visionary by Orla Healy. To those who believe the craft of making perfume is the ultimate in abstract art, François Coty is regarded as perfumery’s first abstract genius. A hundred years after he founded a fledgling empire in the back room of a small Parisian apartment, Coty Inc. celebrates its centennial in 2004 with a global operation in more than 25 countries. But more than creating perfumes—and then cosmetics—that set pulses racing, François Coty revolutionized the alchemy of the fragrance industry. Pioneering the way perfume is sold throughout the world today, Coty also redefined the marketing and packaging process. A champion of design talent, Coty spawned a maverick art form when, in collaboration with René Lalique, he produced the first modern perfume bottle. Today, the philosophy at Coty Inc. reflects the creative values and entrepreneurial and visionary spirit of its founder—but on an even grander scale. A major player within the worldwide cosmetics and fragrance market, Coty’s global portfolio includes fragrance and cosmetic brands as diverse as Jennifer Lopez, Céline Dion, adidas, Rimmel, and Lancaster cosmetics. With wit, spirit, and luminous images, Orla Healy tells the inspiring story of Coty, both the man and the company.
