NEW YORK- A hundred years after he founded a fledgling empire in the back room of a small Parisian apartment, Francois Coty is regarded as perfumery's first abstract genius. This month, Coty celebrates its centennial with an evening of fun and dance under the stars to take place at the American Museum of Natural History Rose Center For Earth and Space on Sunday, 12 September 2004 hosted by CEO, Bernd Beetz. Please note that this is a closed event and by invitation only. With a global operation in more than 25 countries, Francois Coty revolutionized the alchemy of the fragrance industry. Today, the philosophy reflects the creative values and entrepreneurial spirit of its founder. A major player within the worldwide cosmetics and fragrance market, Coty's global portfolio includes award-winning brands as diverse as Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, adidas, Rimmel, The Healing Garden, Waters Sheer Passion, Club Med for Men and Lancaster cosmetics. With wit, spirit and luminous images, writer Orla Healy tells this inspiring story in Assouline Publishing's upcoming coffee table stunner Coty: Perfumer & Visionary (Sept, 2004).
