About Coty

Coty, Inc. is a major player in the global beauty industry, renowned for its innovations in fragrances, cosmetics, and skin and body care. Founded in Paris in 1904 by François Coty, a Corsican-born perfumer, Coty revolutionized the fragrance industry by combining his artistic flair with his business acumen. He is credited with transforming perfume from a luxury accessible only to the elite into a more affordable and widespread consumer product. Coty's initial success came from the creation of the perfume "La Rose Jacqueminot" in 1904, which became immensely popular. The company quickly expanded globally, establishing a significant presence in the United States by 1910. Known for both its luxurious scents and its innovative packaging, Coty pioneered the practice of collaborating with artists to design perfume bottles, which elevated the packaging to a form of art.

Coty's reputation has been built on its ability to blend artistic creativity with innovations, making high-quality fragrances that appeal to a broad audience. The company owns numerous well-known brands and has licenses to produce perfumes for celebrities and fashion houses. Despite facing competition, Coty remains influential in the beauty industry. It has also made headlines for acquiring other companies, including some of its direct competitors, to expand its market reach and product offerings.
