Coty Inc. Company Description
Sarah Jessica Parker, J.Lo, and Celine Dion all go to Coty to smell good. It is the world's leading maker of mass-market fragrances for men and women. Coty scents have turned heads since François Coty created his first perfume, La Rose Jacqueminot, in 1904. Its boudoir includes moderately priced 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.
