workplace by providing expert advice, interactive tools and educational events, and this year’s event raised $583,000 to further the cause.

The Founders’ Circle, which includes Procter & Gamble, The Estée Lauder Companies, L’Oréal USA, Avon Foundation for Women, Shiseido Cosmetics America, Johnson & Johnson Group of Consumer Companies and Genentech, joined together at the event amongst the rest of the beauty industry guests to honor the extraordinary life of Evelyn Lauder, who was recently taken from us due to a battle with cancer.

“Today we remember evelyn Lauder, who helped put breast cancer on the map with the co-founding of the Pink Ribbon almost 20 years ago,” said Carlotta Jacobson, president of CeW. “She was a rockstar, one-of-a-kind. She used her contacts, experiences and resources to help others, and I admired her. When we do have a cure for breast cancer, we can all thank evelyn.”

Barbara Zinn Moore, senior vice president/Gmm of cosmetics and home for Lord & Taylor, took the stage to share her memories of how mrs. Lauder touched her life.

CEW HONORS FOUNDERS’ CIRCLE

“In 1991 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it only took one phone call before evelyn was help-ing my parents and I through the terribly hard journey,” said Zinn moore. “She gave total support and guidance, and always wanted to know how she could help. I feel tremendous loss from her passing, but I am blessed that she was such a wonderful mentor for me—her spirit of giving will forever be remembered.”

Self Magazine, the publication responsible for co-founding the Pink Ribbon with mrs. Lauder, also reflected on her assiduous contributions to the cause.

“We don’t only remember her for her famous name,

but for her famous fight,” said Laura McEwen, vice president and publisher of Self.

Over the span of 10 years, the seven supportive companies creating the Founders’ Circle have together contributed a staggering $4 million to the Cancer and Careers program.

“780,000 cancer survivors return to work each year,” said Gina Drosos, group president of global beauty for P&G and CeW Foundation chairwoman. “We are only touching a fraction of those lives right now, and this is the only organization to help balance work with the fight of cancer. There is great work left to be done.”

VERSACE REVEALS YELLOW DIAMOND

SENSORIUM WOWS CONSUMERS

To create the juice, Euroitalia and donatella Versace collaborated with Firmenich perfumer Alberto Morillas. The scent opens with notes of citron blended with pear and bergamot, which unfold to reveal a heart of orange blossom, freesia, mimosa and nymphea. Ambery woods and palo santo wood mix with musk for a sensual dry down.

“Yellow diamond is a burst of juicy freshness and enveloping sensuality; a diamond that has got character and reminds us of the brightness of a sunny day,” said morillas. “It expresses luxury, energy and warmth.”

A clean, carved bottle highlights the brilliance of the yellow juice, and is topped with a jewel-cut top designed to create the impression of a precious jewel glimmering in the sun. The bottle is housed in a yellow box patterned with a vintage Versace baroque, which is the first time Versace has directly linked its fashion to fragrance.

The eau de toilette will be priced at $50.00 for 1.0 oz., $67.00 for 1.7 oz. and $88.00 for 3.0 oz., and wi l l be avai lable a t Macy’s , Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom and Sephora stores nationwide.

their needs…emotional and olfactive. We built this into the Sensorium and it hit the mark.”

The Sensorium addressed the mul-titude of consumer needs from many varied points of interest: education on materials, on science; the majesty of perfumers and artistic creation; the incorporation of every day olfac-tive moments; the recipes of emot ion ; and the technologi-cal d r e a m . At the end of the 4-d fragrance journey, consum-ers were invited to explore their scent preferences through an unbranded exper ience a t the “Fragrance bar.”

“Consumers lingered at the bar for much longer than we ever anticipated—sometimes two and three people deep,” said butler. “It was so surprising, and so thrilling, to see them play! In fact, the same was true for industry experts who had the chance to re-discover the essence of what, and why, we create.”

An overall theme that stood out to Firmenich executives was the many different entry-points to understanding and loving the art of perfumery. Jerry Vittoria, president of fine fragrance North America for Firmenich, said that the “Sensorium showed the need to give consumers authenticity, to listen to a broader consumer base, to speak in multiple voices, and most importantly, to share the knowledge and passion of the perfumer.”

Firmenich also noted that the turnout over the six-week period far exceeded their expectations.

“The total attendance was close to

10,000 including consumers and beauty insiders,” said butler. “Often there were crowds when changing from private, professional tours to public exhibition hours that we weren’t prepared for. We sold out three consecutive nights on Gilt City, and had creative agencies and groups

from countless outside industries come seeking sensorial inspi-ration with their own clients. And of course, most of the industry, including com-petitive fragrance houses, came to share the dream

with us. We didn’t want to send a single person away. It was an evan-gelical mission—changing the hearts of people one nose at a time!”

In partnership with Sephora, the $15.00 ticket cost could be redeemed for a purchase at any Sephora store and sephora.com, or put towards a fragrance offered at the Fragrance bar.

“Once a guest entered the space, it was so visually compelling and sensorially-intriguing that consumers seemed comfortable with the $15.00 entry fee,” said butler. “When they learned that the fee was ful ly redeemable for product at any

Sephora store, it w a s a n e x t r a perk for most . m o s t v i s i t o r s w e r e e x c i t e d about what they discovered and many claimed they ‘ f ound a new fragrance,’ o f t e n a s k i n g d i r e c t i o n s t o

Sephora meatpacking as they left. They wanted to continue their journey. That was the real delight, especially as consumer engagement was always the ultimate goal. On that front, all agree, ‘home run.’”

Meet 6 of the 6,000 employees at Firmenich who believe sustain-ability is broader than a “green strategy”. It’s a game changer.

Co-Creating SolutionsThe power of partnerships to empower thought leadership – to bring to life our vision of individual and collective responsibility – is magical. And, it’s more than that. By harnessing the passion and experience of our internal and external experts, we are trans-forming ourselves into the fragrance and fl avor house of the future.

A differentiating feature of Firmenich’s sustainability vision is expertise in public-private partnerships. Patrick Firmenich, CEO, explains, “Our fi rst partners in sustainability are our clients. We integrate their objectives and set priorities on projects where we can co-create sustainable solutions, leveraging our wide network of partnerships to promote a holistic view.”

Thinking AheadSustainability has long been embedded in Firmenich’s business strategy, as evidenced by the steady track record of “fi rsts” achieved in our industry, including the signing of The Business Charter for Sustainable Development (1991), The World Safety Declaration (2007), and the UN Global Compact and UN CEO Wa-ter Mandate (2008). Describing the evolution of their strategy, David Shipman, Group Vice President of Corporate Compliance remarks, “Having met and exceeded seven safety and environ-ment goals set for 2010, we recognized that it was now time to challenge ourselves to reach even more ambitious sustainability goals across all aspects of our business.”

Today, with a strong global presence and a network of partnerships, Firmenich is committing to a 2015 business and sustainability strategy that focuses on meeting the challenges of water manage-ment, CO2 reduction, and on fi nding nutrition and hygiene solutions to positively impact the lives of children around the world.

Firmenich, together with The Firmenich Charitable Foundation, supports more than 200 organizations worldwide. Thinking ahead, we have recently entered into fi ve new sustainability partnerships, including, the Naandi Foundation, the BioTrade Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Rainforest Alliance and the Interna-

tional Business Leaders Forum.

The Long Term ViewAs the largest privately-owned company in its industry and a leading creator of fragrances and fl avors for the world’s most desirable brands, Firmenich’s success has been built upon a long-term view, one that naturally

translates into building sustainable partnerships that last.

For 2011, Firmenich continues its support of the GoodPlanet Foundation and their President, renowned photographer Yann Arthus Bertrand, the UN’s main partner for the 2011 International Year of Forests campaign. Globally recognized for his use of art to capture the vulnerability of the earth, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has previously collaborated with Firmenich on the Company’s 2010 Sustainability Report.

Believing in a business strategy that fully integrates our clients, employees and partners into one sustainable vision…this is where the magic begins.

Broader than a green strategy, a game changer.

StriVectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum and StriVectin-EV Get Even Spot Repair.

“Hyperpigmentation is one of the fastest growing segments in the skin care market today,” said Dr. Ellen Marmur, vice chair of cosmetic and dermatologic surgery at The mount Sinai medical Center in New York City. “Getting an even, clear skin tone, without discoloration, is just as important as wrinkle-fighting to achieving a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. To some patients, it is even more important.”

different types of hyper-pigmentation—melasma, sun spots, freckles, age spots and more—caused by an uneven nutrient supply to various parts of the skin, can be treated topically with an ingredient called niacin.

“Our proprietary accel-erator molecule, NIA-114, is a patented form of niacin designed to target the triggers that cause hyperpigmentation by normalizing the transfer of pigments and rebuild-ing skin health,” said Dr. Myron Jacobson, chief scientist for StriVectin. “With these two new products, we can guarantee that we are going to enhance the health of your skin.”

both the serum and the spot repair treatments work on three levels to slow down the production of melanin,

normalize the transfer of pigment and improve the overall quality of the cell, and increase cell turnover to reveal those higher quality cells and get rid of spots quicker.

“Str iVect in-eV was tested in 12-week, independent placebo- controlled, double-blind clinical trials with 39 women,” said Dr. Elaine Jacobson, chief scientist for StriVectin. “each subject conducted self-assessments and provided feed-

back, as well as participated in before and after analysis using digital photography. The images speak volumes.”

The brightening serum is to be used all over the face for mild to moderate spots, and the spot repair—an ultra-concentrated formula in a unique c l ick-pen applicator—is meant to target dark, stubborn spots.

“We’ve learned that 63% of women ages 35 and older experience age

spots, discolorations and uneven skin,” said Kristine Cryer, vice presi-dent of product development for StriVectin. “These new products push efficacy and speed of results to a new level.”

StriVectin-eV Get even brightening Serum will be priced at $89.00 and StriVectin–eV Get even Spot Repair will be priced at $49.00. both will be available in stores in January, as well as at strivectin.com.

retailers in europe to offer a more diverse perspective of the market.

Keeping with the cheer of holiday spirit, retailers reported that they were happy with the sales throughout the season so far, and saw increases across a majority of prestige beauty categories, including fragrance. There were, of course, a few signs of worry about the potential for a slow-down, but overall, thoughts were positive and so were the numbers.

Cosmetic World met with Annalise Quest, general merchandise manager for beauty at Harrods, to discuss the store’s new holiday promotions.

“Harrods is embarking on a Crystal Christmas theme in-store and have collaborated with Swarovski to transform a collection of iconic, hero beauty products into crystallized, coveted items—perfect for that all-important Christmas gift, as well as being collector’s pieces,” said Quest. “Key exclusive products that we hope will enjoy strong results are the Crème de la Mer 16.9 oz. holder with a crystal encrusted lid, which I’m sure will appeal to our loyal core of Crème de la mer customers; Sisley has transformed the lid of their Phyto Poudré Compacte into a twinkling leopard print, and Bond No. 9 Harrods Oud is a sparkling example of the classic Harrods bond No. 9 iconic bottle, encrusted with Swarovski elements. There are some fantastic stocking filler ideas too that we predict will be popular with our younger customers; for example, Benefit High Beam with a Swarovski lid, and the hugely popular Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara with ribbons of crystals adorning the product.”

tireless volunteer efforts dedicated to a variety of worthy and relevant social and philanthropic causes.

“This is a very special and eventful evening,” said Karen Fondu, president of L’Oréal Paris. “Not only because it’s the 6th anniversary of the program, but because it’s the 40th year of cele-brating our brand tagline, ‘because You’re Worth It.’ And I’m happy to announce we’re going to take the Women of Worth program global.”

On behalf of each of the following women and her charitable cause, L’Oréal Paris made a $10,000 donation: Susan Munsey of GenerateHope; Shanta Barton Stubbs of New Image Youth Center; Stephanie Clark of Project Single Moms Worldwide, Inc.; Ann Solorio Brownell of The Amanda Network; Sheila Warnock of ShareTheCaregiving, Inc.; Gina Keatley, Nourishing NYC; Pilar Pinel of Embracing Latina Leadership Alliances; Cora White of Partners in Foster Care, Inc.; Gretchen Holt Witt of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer and Dr. Barbara Summey Marshall of Jubilee House.

Nathalie Kristo, senior vice president of marketing for L’Oréal Paris, announced the national honoree that was voted for by the public via womenofworth.com. Over 23,000 votes were received in a two-week period for the woman whose story inspired consumers the most.

iPerfumer2 continues the campaign to help consumers buy fragrance in an informed way, but includes improved usability and search facilities that have been inspired by the comments and suggestions of the iPerfumer community.

New features make it easier for users to update their profiles and post a “wish list” for friends and families to see, and provide a number of ways to explore the fragrance market—searching by brand, fragrance family or even by “note.”

iPerfumer2 also provides ready-made lists—the “Top Rated” function allows users to see which fragrances have been most highly-rated by the iPerfumer community, and “New Launches” provides information on the most recent releases.

“Apps are a growing way that we access information today,” said Felix Mayr-Harting, global head of fine fragrance for Givaudan. “The response to iPerfumer was great last year, and we hope that this latest version will be easier to use and even more infor-mative. Perfume is our world, and one that we are passionate about sharing with people everywhere.”
