Helping your clients achieve the healthy, beautiful skin they want begins by helping them understand what a big role cleansing should play. From the lead inventor of Sonicare,®, the Clarisonic ® Skin Cleansing System uses sonic micro-massages to remove makeup 6X better than manual cleansing. Using it for just one minute twice a day helps free skin of makeup, dirt and sebum — making it more receptive to skin care products and treatments. It’s a difference your clients will see and feel. And they’ll thank you for it. But don’t just take our word, ask a colleague.

ROUGE COCO SHINE HYDRATING SHEER LIPSHINE Coco Chanel revolutionized the way women dressed by designing looks that were elegant, yet surprisingly comfortable. Her vision: simple, uncomplicated silhouettes in modern fabrics to lend a new ease and modernity to a woman’s wardrobe. Today, CHANEL carries on that vision with new ROUGE COCO SHINE HYDRATING SHEER LIPSHINE, the exciting next chapter in the evolution of the iconic modern crème lip colour. Lips are effortlessly dressed in the most elegant shades, with the most comfortable wear. ROUGE COCO SHINE HYDRATING SHEER LIPSHINE is available in a complete range of shades, with hints of shimmer to enhance a glossy finish. The formula glides on for easy application, and a unique Hydratendre complex hydrates and softens lips, giving them a healthier and fuller appearance. Each of the 18 shades is linked to the world of Coco Chanel. . . each a source of inspiration or influence that profoundly impacted her life.

Smell The Flowers The longest and hardest winter we have known could serve as a metaphor for the toughest and longest recession we’ve seen since the Great Depression. As May 2011’s flowers bloom, they symbolize the consistently improving retail numbers emerging this spring that are causing vendors to express cautious optimism. I herald the month of May, which underscores this budding optimism, with a plethora of events. There is nothing better to kick off the celebrations than Marc Rosen’s annual fundraiser for Pratt Institute, which this year honors P&G Prestige. These events segue beautifully into the much anticipated Cosmetic Executive Women’s annual Beauty Awards, and kudos to Carlotta Jacobson and her CEW team for making it such a success. These are all perfect lead-ins to The Fragrance Foundation’s FiFi® Awards—of course preceded by Beauty Fashion’s annual reception. So, take a deep breath and inhale it all in…I think it smells great!

Bond No. 9 At Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks Fifth Avenue’s Wendy Gottfried and Bond No. 9’s Millie Ramos hold a flacon of Madison Square, Bond No. 9’s new fragrance.

Beauty Fashion visited New York City’s Saks Fifth Avenue on April 14 to check out Bond No. 9’s “Countdown to Earth Day” promotion for recycling empty fragrance bottles. Wendy Gottfried, Vice President and DMM of Fragrances at Saks Fifth Avenue commented, “The Bond No. 9 recycle event at Saks is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Earth Day. Customers could bring their empty products from any brand, both juice and ancillary products, to the Bond counter from April 10 through April 22, and, with any Bond purchase, receive a free refillable pocket spray of their choice. This is an incredible value and helps us do our part to protect the environment.”

Special Promotions At Lord & Taylor On April 15, Beauty Fashion took a guided tour on Lord & Taylor’s beauty floor with the retailer’s Senior Vice President/GMM of cosmetics and fragrances, Barbara Zinn-Moore, to visit some promotions and animations. “We are committed to continuously create excitement for the customers,” Ms. Zinn-Moore affirmed. The first stop was Bobbi Brown where the new Creamy Concealer & Corrector was highlighted with displays. Next, Ms. Zinn-Moore arrived at the Lancôme counter CEW’s Women In Beauty where the brand was holding Series with CHANEL’s National Makeup Artist Day.

THELATESTLAUNCHES

Scentual V isions According to beauty market research conducted by The NPD Group, Inc. for 2010, prestige fragrances sold mainly in US department stores experienced dollar sales that posted their first annual gain since 2006. Dollars grew +1% versus 2009. Juices, excluding ancillary or gift set items, grew 4% for both men and women, which helped drive the overall performance of +1% for both. Fragrance launches were up +3%, driven by men’s fragrance launches, which grew +10%. Gift sets, which have traditionally been the better performing segment in prestige fragrance, declined in both the women’s (-1%) and men’s (-5%) market. As we move through the second quarter, here are the scents that will help to drive consumers to points-of-sale.

Night

Life

Palm Beach Beauté has created Judith Leiber Night, a sparkling couture perfume that is a bouquet of exotic oriental essences. The fragrance complements the iconic Judith Leiber accessories that comprise an American luxury brand with timeless quality and international appeal. Judith Leiber Night, an oriental amber, was developed by Firmenich’s Perfumer Richard Herpin. It begins on a top note of black cinnamon and bergamot. Its middle note of night blooming jasmine, lilies and passion peonies dries down to a base of caramelized amber, creamy woods, patchouli and incense. The fragrance is presented in a flacon created by Joseph Messina of Joseph Messina Design who also designed the carton and collateral. Mr. Messina was inspired by Judith Leiber evening bags and “wanted the bottle to be like a miniature purse a woman might carry at night.” The cap, encrusted with Swarovski crystals, resembles a jeweled catch on a Judith Leiber evening bag. The fragrance comes in a 1.3 oz. size for $115.00 and 2.5 oz., $175.00. Judith Leiber Night has been launched at Bergdorf Goodman and will be available at specialty department stores nationwide. Sampling includes blotter cards and a deluxe mini in a ‘matchbox’ presentation. Palm Beach Beauté presents Judith Leiber Night, a glamorous new fragrance.

Summer

Lagoon

Issey Miyake Parfums’ L’Eau d’Issey departs from its familiar brand code of white, silver and black to bring a colorful interpretation to their packaging for the 2011 Summer Limited Edition of L’Eau d’Issey Fragrance. Beauté Prestige International has selected “Voyage To The Heart Of A Lagoon…” with the turquoise water of the sea revealed with the clarity of a submarine waterscape. Summer Limited Edition L’Eau d’Issey Fragrance, created by Firmenich’s Perfumer Jacques Cavallier, is presented in a flacon and carton embellished with delicate branches of bright orange coral prominent against the turquoise water of the lagoon. The scent comes in a 3.3 oz. size for $64.00 and is now at fine retail stores nationwide including Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and Sephora. M AY 2 0 1 1 /

Gary McNatton, Managing Partner of Through Smoke Creative, a leading fragrance design firm based in San Francisco, California, helped design and conceptualize each of the scents in the Disney Store Fragrance Collection. He considered it as a “labor of love that coincided with the reinvention of the Disney Store.” Mr. McNatton shared that Through Smoke Creative built the fragrance collection “from the ground up, and the challenge was to exceed the Disney Store guests’ expectations.” He informed that the target customer for the collection is a teenager, but it is expected the scents will have an ageless appeal. “The power of fragrance is truly magical—it can evoke memories and convey dreams and aspirations,” affirmed Jim Fielding, President of Disney Stores Worldwide. “With the launch of Disney Store’s own fragrance collection, we’re touching all of the senses for the first time in a uniquely Disney way.” The first fragrance in the Disney Store collection, Imagination, will be available beginning next month. Imagination’s fragrance was developed by Jean-Claude Delville when he was at Symrise. Mr. Delville is now with drom Fragrances. The juice is a blend of sequoia trees, cool moss and green leaves. The SKUs are an Imagination Candle, Room Spray, Hand Wash and Lotion. In July, Magic will appear in-store. Its juice, developed by Givaudan’s Perfumer Stephen Nilsen, consists of icy blue mint, rich chocolate and sea spray. The line includes a Magic Candle, Room Spray, Hand Wash and Lotion. A fall launch is planned for the Pixie Dust collection. Perfumer Constance Georges Picot of Cosmo International Fragrances developed the juice for the Beauty Fashion’s George Ledes (c.) with Through Smoke Creative’s Gary McNatton products in this collection, which includes Eau de Toilette in a 50 ml size, Roll and Lisa Wilson at a display of the Disney On Eau de Toilette, Body Wash, Lotion, Body Mist and two Gift Sets. Store collection The prices for the SKUs range from $9.50 to $29.50.

Love Notes

Ralph Lauren Summer Romance, developed by Firmenich’s Perfumer Harry Fremont, is a fresh, fruity floral that suggests fragrant warm summer breezes and romantic escapes. The newest addition to the Ralph Lauren Romance Collection, the fragrance is a tropical twist to Ralph Lauren Romance. The top note of Ralph Lauren Summer Romance is a mix of mandarin and passion fruit. Its middle note of hibiscus and tiare flower is based on a drydown of exotic woods and apricot musk. The fragrance is presented in a flacon decorated in a glowing gradient of pink and topped with the classic silver cap enhanced by a pink band. The carton, in a deep pink, is accented with a silver diagonal grid pattern and a crisp silver border. Ralph Lauren Summer Romance comes in a 3.4 oz. size for $78.00. It is on-counter this month at all major department stores.

Ralph Lauren Summer Romance follows in the tradition of the original Ralph Lauren Romance introduced in 1998.

The Global Provider of Sampling Solutions Expands On 4-Pillar Foundation

D

ebra Leipman-Yale, President of Arcade Marketing in New York City, explained recently that the company has expanded its reach and capabilities based on a much focused agenda. Reporting that Arcade has had a very busy first quarter 2011, Ms. Leipman-Yale said, “We are building our business based on four pillars—new technology, new markets, new capabilities and new channels of distribution.” The first pillar of Arcade’s growth plan is new technology, which has driven such innovative sampling products as the BeautiPod™. “Our challenge was to build a larger sample, which was able to be mailed and also worked for use in the media. It allows for a full dose sampling from 1.5 ml to 10 ml of liquid foundation, cream, lotion or gel-based products and even works for shampoos and conditioners. It also provides controlled delivery of the product.” The BeautiPod™ is complementary to Arcade’s BeautiSeal® sampler, still widely used for up to 350 ml samples. Ms. Leipman-Yale shared that “Arcade can customize sampling to the needs of our clients, such as a multi-pod kit. The BeautiPod™ inextricably ties the sampling to the brand message. We are challenged by clients to do better, and we meet those expectations.” Another innovation from Arcade The BeautiPod™ design allows for a controlled is the new ClearAdvantage, a clear delivery of product. label that’s affixed directly to a page or card permitting the customer to have immediate visual access to the product. Each hygienic sample holds the actual product available for convenient shade trial. There can be one or two labels per page prominently displayed beneath the clear overlay for multiple shade or product trials. New ColorFixations from Arcade appear as single trial samples, but with a simple pull from the back, they become stickers. The stickers can be mixed and matched to create custom finished looks with face powder, blush and eyeshadow. They are available as single samples or sheets of multiple samples perforated for easy removal. Up to four different colors can be done on one sheet for added variety. ColorClearAdvantage Color Labels are easy to open. Fixations can be reminders of products by being placed on business cards, stationary and educational materials among other possible uses. Arcade’s new, user-friendly fragrance sampler, Scentalker™, is a self-service fragrance dispenser, described by Ms. Leipman-Yale as repurposing the scent strip. “Point-of-sale is one of our major focuses, and the Scentalker™ helps to complete the purchase cycle.” Customers can grab the sample and try in-store without Arcade’s ColorFixations can be given to a cusby a Makeup Artist after an in-store any assistance or take away to use later.

The first phase in the company’s global expansion plan is the creation of Arcade LatAm.

TOUCH THE STAR POWER OF JUDITH LEIBER NIGHT FRAGRANCE BY SANDRA LANG DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS PALM BEACH BEAUTÉ Judith Leiber, a brand synonymous with elegance, style and sophistication, is going forward in modern beauty and glamour with the launch of Judith Leiber Night. The gorgeous, couture perfume was introduced to Fragrance Sales Associates at Bergdorf Goodman, who were invited to share in the star power of the brand.

Palm Beach Beauté’s Sandra Lang and Joan Strubbe (r.) with Judith Leiber’s George Surles

The Judith Leiber Night display for the Fragrance Sales Associates at Bergdorf Goodman

The contemporary luxury and ‘WOW’ factor of Judith Leiber Night was important to communicate to the Bergdorf Goodman Fragrance Sales Associates at our in-store training seminar. Judith Leiber’s new direction has a modern appeal with a nod to Judith Leiber’s extraordinary legacy. High profile names have carried Judith Leiber bags on red carpets around the world. These custom-made creations are a runway favorite with young and beautiful actresses such as Charlize Theron and Christina Hendricks. Uniting the creativity, inspiration and brilliant details of Judith Leiber Night for the Sales Associates enhances their ability to communicate the fragrance’s story to consumers at point-of-sale and Ms. Strubbe with Palm Beach Beauté’s Maria effectively reveal its opulent essence. Figueredo and Bergdorf Goodman’s Maddi Marlowe To illustrate the glamorous inspiration for ‘Night’ at our training seminar, a collection of extraordinary Judith Leiber handbags was included in our visual display. Modeled after the ‘Streamline’ evening bag, the fragrance is encased in an opaque black glass bottle embellished with sparkling, white Swarovski crystal stones in an Art Deco motif. Emulating a clutch closure, the bottle top is a crystal clasp. The synergy between the stunning, elegant bags and the architectural, ornamental bottle was captured by the Fragrance Sales Ms. Lang and Ms. Figueredo hold Judith Leiber purses. Associates with keen interest and excitement. The scent was created by juxtaposing the drama of the handbag design with the absolute luxury Judith Leiber represents. The Perfumer chose notes of night blooming jasmine, peony, patchouli and amber to illustrate the aura of sensuality. The spiciness of lilies mingled with incense, and a creamy wood accord emphasizes the addictive ‘night’ feeling. Romancing the facets of the fragrance and the alchemy of its notes to enchant, we empower the Fragrance Sales Associates with the knowledge needed to close the sale. The fragrance will fulfill the aspirations of all women who celebrate femininity and desire the ultimate in luxury. With the brand principles and positioning that we share with our Fragrance Sales Associates, we give them the ability to reach out confidently to the consumer with enthusiasm for this extraordinary fragrance.

Instead of the inspiring survival story of a premature infant, this year’s Mission Family, Paulina and Josh Levine, spoke of the tragic loss of their twins born prematurely after 26 weeks of pregnancy. All of the evening’s honorees spoke eloquently of the need to support the March of Dimes’ work. Mr. Bloom put the fragility of premature babies in perspective by showing a tiny cap and diaper the size of a thumb. Ms. Collins spoke of her own premature birth, and Ms. Zimmerman was grateful for the survival of her son, Doug Zimmerman, who was born prematurely. The gala ended after Chris Wragge, Co-Anchor of CBS News’ The Early Show, conducted a spirited auction to raise dollars instead of dimes to promote the March of Dimes’ future work.

tlantic Coast Media Group (ACMG) has revolutionized the traditional model for developing, marketing and distributing its skincare and hair care brands. The Jersey City-based company was founded in 2005 by Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Andrew Surwilo and Thomas Shipley to provide women with efficacious beauty products grounded in real science. At the end of 2010, ACMG had $170 million in annual revenue. “Our brand-building strategy is one of the important successes of the company,” Mr. Surwilo affirmed. “This is just one of the accomplishments made possible by our greatest strength, our team. We count on everyone’s collective experience to think critically about the business in order to make us better.” That critical thinking led ACMG to its defining innovation: the multi-channel, multi-brand marketing and development model. ACMG’s flagship beauty product, AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex under the Hydroxatone® brand, was launched with a direct-toconsumer marketing test. After a positive consumer response, the product powered ACMG’s growth in customers and the expansion of the science-based Hydroxatone ® brand. The products are promoted heavily through television, radio, magazines, direct mail and online media filling out the multi-channel ACMG’s Thomas Shipley ACMG’s Andrew Surwilo strategy. Hydroxatone®’s nearly ubiquitous presence on radio and TV airwaves amplified consumer awareness of the brand, opening an inviting door to online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Products from the Hydroxatone® collection are now at all ULTA locations nationwide and will be entering Macy’s this summer. The products debuted on HSN in February and have been mainstays at a number of online retailers since Hydroxatone®’s launch in that space last year. Hydroxatone® products returned to HSN in April and will be back on that television network in May and July. The brands also appear in many red-carpet giveaway bags. Using the multi-channel strategy to promote, distribute and market the Hydroxatone ® brand allowed ACMG to expand adding the Keranique™, D.N.A. by Hydroxatone® and Luminique™ brands to its portfolio. This year, ACMG plans to launch the new Instant Effect brand and many new SKUs in its other brands. Another core focus of ACMG is the product development Hydroxatone®’s Advanced Under Eye Formula, AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex and Declatone® Neck & Décolleté process featuring skincare technologies unique to each brand. Complex by Hydroxatone® “We source our key ingredients from leading pharmaceutical companies and labs throughout the world,” informed Mr. Shipley. “Our team then works with R&D labs to develop proprietary formulations using these key ingredients along with exclusive delivery systems and vigorously testing variations until the perfect formula is discovered.” ACMG will continue its mission of creating iconic beauty brands using cutting-edge science to provide customers world-class products with state-of-the-art marketing and packaging and exceed their expectations for real beauty results. “It is in the DNA of this company to actively look for new and better ways of doing things,” Mr. Surwilo reveals. “Never count on us to be predictable. We delight in upending traditional models to achieve transformative innovation in all aspects of the business.” BF

On March 16, the global beauty press assembled at Manhattan’s Center548 to learn about Estée Lauder’s upcoming launches and to celebrate women and beauty. The presentation was led by Mrs. Estée Lauder’s granddaughter Aerin Lauder, Style and Image Director of Estée Lauder and Estée Lauder’s Global Brand President, Jane Hertzmark Hudis. Aerin Lauder believes there is no one definition of beauty today. “Our brand represents every woman,” she affirmed. It is revealed in the Spokesmodels that represent the brand today. “Estée’s choice of Models throughout the brand’s evolution was always extraordinary. We continue this legacy with a new group of diverse faces that truly represent a modern vision of beauty.” Estée Lauder has unveiled a new The Estée Lauder Companies’ Jane Hertzmark Hudis and Aerin Lauder with Spokesmodel advertising campaign, supporting the Carolyn Murphy “Every Woman Can Be Beautiful” philosophy, which will be launched next month. It stars Constance Jablonski from France, Liu Wen from China and Joan Smalls from Puerto Rico. These global beauties reflect the Estée Lauder brand’s growing consumer base. The advertising campaign, shot by Photographer Craig McDean, features the three Spokesmodels together to promote two new skincare products, Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator and Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator.

In July, a campaign featuring four Estée Lauder Spokesmodels—Hilary Rhoda, Ms. Jablonski, Ms. Wen and Ms. Smalls—will be dressed in white to communicate the elegance, personality and style of each one. These images will appear globally at store level to bring the “Every Woman Can Be Beautiful” concept to life. “The phrase ‘Every Woman Can Be Beautiful’ is still as relevant today as it was when Mrs. Estée Lauder first used Spokesmodels Joan Smalls, Constance Jablonski, and Liu Wen in a it,” declared Ms. Hudis. “It is inclusive, empowering and a shot from the new Estée Lauder advertising campaign universal truth that appeals to women around the world… We are proud to take the words of our Founder and use them to bring together the heritage, the image, the products and the conversations the Estée Lauder brand is having with women today.” BF M AY 2 0 1 1 /

ESTÉE LAUDER SALUTES WOMEN AND BEAUTY


W

hat’s in, what’s out, and most importantly, what’s next, were the themes discussed at The Fragrance Foundation’s Fragrance Trends Forecast: Reset and Recharge. Industry leaders congregated on March 23 at the Time-Life Building in Manhattan to share their expertise on business norms and realities. The event was moderated by Pamela Vaile, President of Pamela Vaile Associates, with a panel featuring Laurie Black, Executive Vice President General Merchandise Manager Cosmetics & Fragrance of Nordstrom, Frédéric Jacques, Vice President Fine Fragrance NA of Mane Laurie Black, Sephora’s Allison Slater, P&G Prestige’s Donald Loftus, USA, Donald Loftus, President and CEO of Nordstrom’s G-Group Market Research’s Judy Galloway, Mane USA’s Frédéric Jacques, The P&G Prestige, U.S. and Allison Slater, Vice Fragrance Foundation’s Rochelle Bloom and Pamela Vaile Associates’ Pamela Vaile President Retail Marketing of Sephora. The panelists discussed the state of the fragrance industry from the effects of the recession, what the new consumer is now searching for and how she is shopping. The forum began with Rochelle Bloom, President of The Fragrance Foundation, as she commended the industry as a whole for joining together to openly discuss strategic insights among adversaries. 2010 marked the year of recovery for the fragrance industry, as sales grew to $2.5 billion—an increase of 1%—as per research conducted by The NPD Group. But regardless of this slight increase, and despite countless product launches, a decline in unit sales remained. Mr. Jacques noted that over the past few decades, the focus to deliver the artistry and craftsmanship found in prestige products at a mass value has not been without consequence. A plethora of launches creates less distinctiveness and exclusivity which affect sales. Companies must now make choices that drive retail sales growth. Consumers have become more discerning, with blogs and social media Web sites heavily influencing the purchasing process, and companies must react. Ms. Black discussed a recent survey detailing how the Nordstrom customer shops for fragrances. Research revealed that the first reason a customer purchases a fragrance is to replenish, followed by returning to the store to buy the full-size bottle of a sample she received. Sampling fragrance is vital for today’s consumer. Nordstrom restructured its sampling process around the survey’s results. Ms. Slater agreed, citing Sephora’s sampling program, Sephora Favorites. The store sells collections containing a combination of new and classic scents in smaller vials for the customer to test and to find one that pleases—complete with voucher to return to Sephora for purchase of the full-size version. Sephora also offers scents in roller ball form, the ideal solution for first-time buyers and on-the-go travel. The roller ball is a smaller investment compared to committing to a full-size product. “This allows customers to think of fragrance as an accessory,” said Ms. Slater. She revealed that Sephora is constantly looking at client data to elevate the customer experience. The store has a constant commitment to educating its sales teams Pochet’s Gerald Walle with Qualipac’s Herve Robine to make sure everyone on the floor has a basic knowledge of all the and Mr. Jacques (Continued on page 51) products offered.

New Ad Campaign For Ralph Lauren Romance

R

alph Lauren Romance, launched in 1998, rekindles the spirit of romance with a new advertising campaign shot by Photographer Bruce Weber. As in previous imagery of real-life couples in the advertisements, the new chapter in the Romance story stars husband and wife Nacho Figueras and Delfina “Delfi” Blaquier. The campaign exemplifies the world of Ralph Lauren, renowned for his devotion to family traditions, authentic equestrian heritage and the sport of polo. The previous campaigns photographed by Mr. Weber in black and white are succeeded by imagery in color with scenery that illustrates the fairy-tale life of Mr. Figueras and Ms. Blaquier. It was shot on location in Buenos Aires, Argentina at La Concepcíon, the estate of Ms. Blaquier’s grandparents where she spent many of her early years riding and watching polo matches. It was here that she met her husband and where they were married. “We wanted to bring back the romance with three key values of authenticity, passion and the dream,” explained Guillaume de Lesquen, President of Ralph Lauren Fragrances Worldwide. “The first campaign in 1998 told an amazing story and touched women all Ralph Lauren Fragrances’ over the world. It was a unique expression of a romantic moment in a very particular way.” Guillaume de Lesquen Mr. de Lesquen expressed that the sincerity and emotional intensity of the new campaign was achieved because “we decided to shoot this real-life couple in their own house in their own environment with their own family, kids, horses and dogs. It is their own lifestyle, and it creates a new step in storytelling.” “It is very difficult to play romance, but Bruce has the ability to bring ideas and express them in a spontaneous way. Through his own talent and experience,” Mr. de Lesquen declared, “Bruce was able to capture a totally unplanned moment of Delfi and Nacho kissing on horseback.” “It was amazing that Bruce Weber was able to capture our happiness…our true romance for the new ad campaign,” shared Ms. Blaquier. Embodying the Ralph Lauren lifestyle, Mr. Figueras is a handsome and talented Polo Player, and Ms. Blaquier balances her professional life as a Photographer with her roles of wife and mother as well as traveling around the world to the beautiful locations where polo matches are held. The new ad spread for Ralph Lauren Romance Mr. de Lesquen attributes the success of Ralph Lauren Romance in maintaining high rankings since its launch to “its amazing floral juice.” Firmenich’s Master Perfumer Harry Fremont, who developed the fragrance, maintains its popularity endures after 13 years because “it transcends time and trends and embodies the elegant and magical world of Ralph Lauren. I knew immediately that Ralph Lauren Romance would be adored by women who embrace passion and emotion.” Mr. de Lesquen reports that the advertising campaign for Ralph Lauren Romance was previewed on April 28, in advance of the April 29 date of the British royal wedding. “It was an opportunity to be linked with that amazing romantic wedding,” he said. There will be a single page ad and a spread for the new Ralph Lauren Romance campaign. It will be reinforced by social media including online video placements of a 2-minute extended commercial film shot by Mr. Weber, a video teaser campaign using a short trailer and an online application that consumers can interact with. “We will reach lovers on wedding sites,” Mr. de Lesquen revealed. “We are planning to be on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and will connect with the millions of fans on Ralph Lauren’s Facebook page.” BF M AY 2 0 1 1 /

Amway Independent Business Owners Share Their Sales Tips For Success Jolene Conat Amway Independent Business Owner Wenatchee, Washington When Jolene Conat began her Amway business in 2004, she had no idea the impact it would have, not only on her, but also on the small town of Wenatchee, Washington where she lives. The ARTISTRY® brand of the Amway business focuses on beauty that comes from within, which inspired Jolene to establish the Nuestra Belleza Latina NCW (Our Latin Beauty) Pageant. Jolene Conat “We wanted to mentor leadership and self-esteem, to teach these young ladies about community involvement and how important they are,” said Jolene. “Through the Amway business, we learned how to share our hearts—what we were feeling and our personal enthusiasm for the business. In Nuestra Belleza Latina NCW, it is sharing my enthusiasm for the future of these young women.” Jolene said the key lesson she has gained from her Amway business includes learning how to share her heart and her personal enthusiasm for the ARTISTRY® brand.

Juana Gonzalez Amway Independent Business Owner Wildomar, California When Juana Gonzalez and her husband came to the United States, they were searching for a better life for their two children. “I was looking for a job where I could talk a lot and speak Spanish,” said Juana. When introduced to the Amway business opportunity, they were excited about the possibilities and began their business in 2006. Juana Gonzalez “The products were high quality,” said Juana, sharing that the Cuban community enthusiastically embraces ARTISTRY® skincare and cosmetics. “We like looking good and showing off!” she joked. “The key is learning to demonstrate and sell the products while speaking with confidence,” said her husband, Roberto Gonzalez.

Ivan And Carmen Morales Amway Independent Business Owners Guaynabo, Puerto Rico Ivan and Carmen Morales had ties to the Amway business even before they chose the opportunity for themselves in 1984. Ivan’s father had started their Amway business after his mother was diagnosed with cancer, leaving her too ill to work and the family facing bankruptcy. Carmen’s father, however, had passed on the opportunity when she was a child, a decision she believes he Carmen and Ivan regrets as it led to long work hours and time away from family. Morales But when Ivan and Carmen were expecting their first child, they decided to begin the Amway business for themselves, selling ARTISTRY®, NUTRILITE®, and other Amway products. They were inspired to use the business to bring them a life of travel and spending time with their children. “Our kids have a very different life than I did growing up,” said Carmen. “I’m thrilled that this business gives me the opportunity to both support our family and be with them. We feel our kids will grow into happy and successful adults with the values we both teach them through this business.” (Continued on page 55) M AY 2 0 1 1 /

Saks Fifth Avenue offered its customers new fragrances and makeovers during its recent Beauty Week, and clients certainly received a lot of bang for their buck during the ten-day event. Beauty Week incentives included giftswith-purchase as well as showcasing the store’s latest products. Beauté Prestige International (BPI) Account Manager Thomas Preziosi used this opportunity to tell customers the stories behind the fragrances of Hermès and Narciso Rodriguez, brands that he represents. One of the fragrances he highlighted during this event was Voyage d’Hermès, a scent reminiscent of embarking on a journey. When asked how a perfume can elicit thoughts of travel, Mr. Preziosi responded with lively vignettes that kept women lining up at his booth. Freelance Fragrance Specialist Yelena Migriova and Mr. Sasser Beauté Prestige International Account Manager Thomas Preziosi shares the stories behind the fragrances.

Mr. Preziosi has been in the fragrance industry since 1992 and really has a passion for the perfumes that he represents. The key to success, Mr. Preziosi described, is the excitement that the entire BPI team has and their knowledge of the scents. “The more you know about the fragrances, the easier it is to sell them.

In addition to having effective and appealing products that are offered at the right price, successful retail sales are a result of adept customer service. Like any other relationship, the customer and salesperson interaction requires a personal approach. Companies must not only work at fine tuning their approach, but also need to create an experience that is distinctive from its competitors. Here we look at two international brands, Kiehl’s and Shu Uemura, which have evolved their in-store customer experience in Australia. Kiehl’s is building on its engagements with customers with its Circle of Service program that focuses on the consultation element when interacting with patrons. The Kiehl’s stores in Australia will now each be furnished with a consultation table, creating a more personal interaction. The company states that it’s a place where the patron can feel comfortable, at ease and receive the attention they deserve. Tere Heathcote-Love, General Manager at Kiehl’s, said “Just like a family table, our consultation table is a place to learn and to share. [It’s] an opportunity to welcome and engage with our patrons.”

Kiehl’s new Circle of Service allows the Kiehl’s Customer Representative to interact on a more intimate level with the customer.

Cosmetic Market Report

bU Australasia’s Stephanie Villeneuve, Brett Mason, Jo-Anne Mason, Lisa McFarlane and Tim Davis

In Australia, the cosmetics market is analysed through data supplied by the retailers and companies directly to one source, bU Australasia. bU Australasia produces a half-yearly and annual detailed Cosmetic Market Report for its member companies. The latest report for 2010 has just been released, and the company hosted a presentation for industry guests to hear highlights from the latest market facts and figures. Jo-Anne Mason, Managing Director of bU Australasia, revealed and commented on the strongest trends and the standout highs and lows of the year. Spending Sacrificed For Saving Consumer savings now run at a very high 10% of disposable income. Credit card debt has shrunk, and the average transaction was down 5-6% from the previous year. Category Results There was a negative skincare result, despite a small growth in mass. The makeup category alone delivered market growth at +2.2%. The fragrance result was the most disappointing, showing a -6.3% vs. 2009. Parallel roars back to life as the AUD (Australian dollar) hits parity with USD (U.S. dollar). A ‘Turkey’ of a Christmas With November 2010’s interest rate increase, stores battled soft sales and disinterested consumers.

BEAUTY AUSTRALIA The Global Consumer With the AUD at parity with the USD, there were bargains galore on the Internet. The new value-seeking consumer was taking full advantage of this online opportunity. Many shoppers visit a store to inspect an item, but then make their purchases from the Internet.

Grocery: Beauty and the Beast The grocery channel has been the star performer, with solid growth and market share gains in 2010. Driving this explosion, the supermarket group Coles has relaunched its Health and Beauty offerings. Overall Health and Beauty is a high value category for the grocers, as there is more leeway to discount prices than in other mass channels. There has been price deflation at the expense of both the mass merchants and pharmacy channels.

Ms. Mason with Estée Lauder’s Emmerentia Wilding

Prestige in Crisis Mass brands’ advertising was tapping into the consumer’s new frugal shopping approach, promising the benefits of prestige products at a mass price. The discounting of luxury and premium brands has stripped away brand mystique, which now has cynical consumers questioning the high retail price of prestige brands. The high AUD delivered a price variation of 40%+ against the U.S. market. Consumers are losing interest in traditional ‘gift’ marketing.

Ms. Villeneuve joins The Estée Lauder Companies’ Terry Little, Holly Masters and Caroline Scott with Esprit Magazine’s Andrea Ferrari

Brands that delivered growth included: In Prestige: Aveda, BeneFit, Bobbi Brown, M·A·C, Marc Jacobs, Napoleon Perdis, Ralph Lauren, Ella Baché and Freeze Frame Wrinkle

Retail-tainment This year, an overall ‘brand fatigue’ in prestige was apparent. There has been a ‘McDonalds-isation’ of both the retail environment and the retail offer. The ‘sameness’ of cosmetic marketing is not stimulating to the consumer. Consumers are looking to be delighted and excited.

In Mass: Australis, Innoxa, Aveeno, Maybelline New York, Bio Oil, Natio, Bloom, Nude by Nature, Bourjois, QV, Chi Chi Cosmetics, Redwin, Clearasil, Revlon, CoverGirl, Simple, Cutex, The Body Shop, Hi Life and Vaseline
