She is also the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.

The money raised jointly by Coty Inc., a leading global beauty company, and DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center, will help register over 19,000 bone marrow donors and work to save lives worldwide. <\/P>\n<P>The highlight of the night is the \"Moment of the Match\", when a leukemia patient and donor meet for the first time. This year's moment united three-year-old leukemia survivors Keane and Ethan Denke and their parents with Monika Rasche, the twins-life-saving donor match, and left few dry eyes in the room. In 2007, at just four months old, identical twins Keane and Ethan Denke were diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Their parents, Xander and Carrie Denke, immediately began searching for one bone marrow donor to save both of their sons, and found support through the Coty-DKMS Linked Against Leukemia partnership. <\/P>\n<P>\"When I met Xander and Carrie Denke during the twins\" donor search, I was blown away by their determination and strong will,\" said Bernd Beetz, Coty CEO. \"Three years later, Coty is honored to stand beside two very healthy boys and their proud parents as they meet the woman who saved Keane and Ethan. This is the reason we are committed to DKMS, saving lives one donor at a time.\"<\/P>\n<P>During the Gala, Coty CEO Bernd Beetz and Oscar winning actress and Coty partner, Halle Berry, presented Island Def Jam Chairman, Antonio \"LA\" Reid with the \"DKMS Linked Against Leukemia Award\" in honor of his tireless work in fighting cancer. <\/P>\n<P>\"I'm thrilled with my partnership with Coty, a company that has such a great sense of social responsibility, in supporting DKMS in the fight against leukemia,\" said Halle Berry.<\/P>\n<P>Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson emceed the black tie event, which included a special performance by legendary music icon, Jon Bon Jovi.

Leukemia also touched Coty Inc. in a very personal manner in 1991, when the wife of longtime Coty Inc. Chairman Peter Harf succumbed to the disease. Each year, more than 140,000 people are diagnosed with a blood cancer, including leukemia, which is the most common cancer among children and adolescents. <\/P>\n<P>All proceeds from the DKMS 4th Annual Gala will go directly to enrolling life-saving bone marrow donors, and furthering advancements in cancer treatment and care.<\/P>\n<P>\"We are moved by the support of all our long term supporters, especially our legacy corporate sponsor, Coty,\" said Katharina Harf, Executive Vice President, DKMS Americas. \"The money raised will further the DKMS mission to save lives around the world.\"<\/P>\n<P>For more information on Coty-DKMS Linked against Leukemia partnership visit <A href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedagainstleukemia.org\" target=_blank>www.linkedagainstleukemia.org.<BR><\/A><\/P>\n<P>About Coty Inc.<\/P>\n<P>Coty was created in Paris in 1904 by Francois Coty who is credited with founding the modern fragrance industry. <\/P>\n<P>Today, Coty Inc. is a recognized leader in global beauty with annual net sales of nearly $4 billion.

Diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), the identical twins are in search of one bone marrow donor to save both of their lives. With the help of DKMS, the world's largest marrow donor center, the goodwill of Coty Inc., and local donor drives, the Denke family holds fast to hope.<br><br>In February 2007, new parents Carrie and Xander Denke, admitted four month old Ethan to Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center (Tarzana, CA) with a distended abdomen and a fever of 103, only to receive the unbelievable news that their son had a fatal auto-immune disease HLH. The bad news did not stop there. As the majority of HLH cases in children under one years-old are genetic, this would mean that Ethan's identical twin brother Keane would get sick too. Keane's illness manifested itself in April. <br><br>The only cure for the boys is a bone marrow transplant - another person's healthy cells -giving Ethan and Keane a second chance at life. For six months now, the Denke's have been sharing their story in hopes of finding the one perfect match to save both of their sons' lives. As the twins undergo daily chemotherapy treatments, the family continues to suffer many hardships. Recently, Xander has had to cut back on hours at work, to help Carrie with the boys while the family incurs large out-of -pocket expenses, such as numerous hospital bills and expensive prescriptions costs.<br><br>Recently, the Denke family's financial woes were eased thanks to Coty Inc., the world's largest fragrance company. Coty Chief Executive Officer Bernd Beetz, presented the family with a monetary donation of $10,000 on August 24 to help off-set financial costs. Beetz learned of the Denke family through the Coty-DKMS: Linked Against Leukemia partnership. In L.A. for business, Beetz set aside time to visit with the family. <br><br>\"It's the kindness of Coty Inc., the community and our endless hope to find a donor that keeps our family going through these hard times,\" says Xander Denke. \"Coty's donation is just one example of the outpouring of support we have received that helps make each day a little easier.\"<br><br>\"As a father myself, I was personally moved when I heard about Keane and Ethan and I immediately wanted to help the family through our Coty -DKMS initiative: Linked Against Leukemia,\" said Bernd Beetz, Coty Chief Executive Officer. \"We hope with this donation the Denkes will have one less worry on their minds.\" <br><br>As the search for a donor continues for the Denke twins, a special donor drive will be held at Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, CA on Sunday, August 26.

UNVEILS CORPORATE ART COLLECTION - Unparalleled Collection of Precious Perfume Bottles Demonstrates Coty's Leadership in the Fragrance Industry for more than a Century","video":"false","bodyText":"Toronto, September 19, 2006 - Jeffery Wagstaff, president of Coty Canada Inc. is pleased to announce the debut of the Coty Collection. This unique corporate art collection of precious perfume bottles documents the company's 102-year heritage of leadership, innovation and design in the fragrance industry. Coty Inc. is the largest fragrance company in the world and a recognized leader in global beauty.<BR><BR>The Coty Collection debuts on September 19 ending on October 17, 2006 at The Bay on Queen Street in the St. Regis Room. It will showcase twenty-five original twentieth century perfume bottles, created exclusively for Coty over the course its102-year history. The collection reveals a unique and ever-evolving collaboration between business and the arts. Coty's commitment to compiling this collection gives the company a significant place in the history of both perfume and the decorative arts. \"We're exceedingly proud of the Coty Collection,\" says Jeffery Wagstaff, president of Coty Canada Inc., \"as it represents the avant-garde, entrepreneurial spirit on which Coty was founded. The collection chronicles our past, but is also emblematic of our future, as we build the Coty of tomorrow with new and exciting fragrances for today.\"<BR><BR><BR>WHAT IS THE COTY COLLECTION?<BR><BR>The Coty Collection is a unique corporate art collection created in 1999 that celebrates the company's history of leadership in the perfume industry. The collection consists of twenty-five original and precious twentieth century commercial perfume bottles, as well as related packaging and advertising material.<BR><BR>The collection traces the development of twentieth century perfume from some of the earliest known commercially produced perfume bottles and related packaging, dating from the company's inception in 1904 to recent bottles by fashion designers Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole. <BR><BR>WHY WAS THE COLLECTION DEVELOPED?<BR><BR>The Coty Collection exists due to the vision of two men: the company's original founder, Francois Coty and Coty Inc.'s chairman, Peter Harf. <BR><BR>In 1904, Coty's unique vision united art and industry to produce perfume products of superior artistic integrity. Coty's approach revolutionized the fragrance industry, turned the House of Coty into the first international fragrance company, as well as created the basis of the modern fragrance industry.<BR><BR>Harf established the Coty Collection to document Coty's rich heritage, as well as chronicle the ongoing innovation and quality design that Coty brings to the fragrance experience.<BR><BR>Today, Coty follows this vision. Like Francois Coty, Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty Inc., is a visionary and the driving force behind Coty''s success. Beetz has transformed the organization into the largest fragrance company in the world and a leading global beauty company. <BR><BR>WHERE DID THE COLLECTION COME FROM?<BR><BR>The collection is from various sources: the most important of which were Coty's own archives. Additional material was gathered by way of acquisitions and donations.<BR><BR>WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE COTY COLLECTION?<BR><BR>The Coty Collection is significant to both the company's heritage and the art-world. It is important to Coty as it archives over 100 years of the company''s commitment to progressive design and offers its employees and in-house designers inspiration to create future innovations. The collection also represents the continuation of an entrepreneur's vision -- Coty was a pioneer in terms of innovative design and the manufacture of high quality products, which made his company a leader in the fragrance industry. <BR><BR>The collection also has significance in the realm of art and design. While perfume bottle collecting is still in its infancy, it is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most intriguing new commodities of the decorative arts market. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The British Museum and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, among others, have all acquired perfume presentation material for its artistic value, as well as its ability to document the culture, manufacturing, marketing and merchandising techniques of this century.<BR><BR>WHICH ARE THE MOST VALUABLE BOTTLES IN THE COLLECTION?<BR><BR>The value of a perfume bottle is based of various criteria, including the artist who designed it, its place of manufacture, condition, rarity and provenance (the object's history). Accordingly, some of the examples in the Coty Collection could be considered priceless, as they are one-of-a-kind items that have been retained by the company from its earliest years. <BR><BR>Increasingly, perfume bottles are recognized for their artistic value, as well as their ability to document the culture, manufacturing, marketing and merchandising techniques of this century. <BR><BR>WHAT FURTHER DISTINGUISHES THE BOTTLES FROM ONE ANOTHER?<BR><BR>Each bottle represents the changing ideals of beauty and design that are representative of the time in which they were created. As Coty commissioned bottles that reflect the character of the fragrance they contained, each bottle is unique in its own way. However, one of the most important distinctions to make is between the bottles produced in France by the artist Rene Lalique and those made by the Glassworks of Baccarat. <BR><BR>While both created a number of exquisitely crafted bottles for Coty, the pieces produced by Lalique set a new standard in the fragrance industry. Coty particularly admired Lalique's Art Nouveau jewelry and art glass when the two men met in 1904. <BR><BR>Once they began to collaborate on creating luxurious perfume bottles, Lalique, while not abandoning jewelry, became just as renowned for these fanciful bottles. Today, the Lalique designs created for Coty -- in the Art Nouveau style with intricate patterns and sinuous lines-- exemplify the best of their craft and helped to elevate the decorative arts to a stature equivalent to the fine arts.<BR><BR>Conversely, Baccarat produced high quality cut and blown glass bottles for Coty from 1908 to the mid-1960s. This glass was prized for its brilliance, which rivaled the luminosity of crystal. To best display this radiance, the Baccarat bottles were more simply designed.<BR><BR>WHAT MOTIVATED FRANCOIS COTY TO COMMISSION THESE BOTTLES?<BR><BR>Coty recognized that people wanted quality products in luxurious packaging, and that this was an unfulfilled niche in the fragrance industry. Previously fragrance was a luxury in which primarily the wealthy indulged. Coty was the first to commission the creation of beautifully designed bottles that reflected the character of the fragrance they contained and make them available at all price points. In doing so, Coty created the basis of the modern fragrance industry. <BR><BR>Additionally, Francois Coty was the first to use synthetic ingredients in his fragrances as a means to ensure the longevity and consistency of the scent, a method that is almost exclusively used in fragrance production today. He was also forward thinking enough to look to other industries for solutions to his large-scale production problems, borrowing the technology from the wine and pharmaceutical industries.<BR><BR>The Coty Collection may be enjoyed by the public on September 19 until October 17, 2006 at The Bay on Queen Street, in the St. Regis Room, located in downtown Toronto.

Inc. has emerged as a major success story in the world of beauty. But its success is not new. <BR><BR>A native of Corsica, 29-year-old Fran\u00e7ois Coty founded the fragrance company that would bear his name, in Paris in 1904.&nbsp; Determined to revolutionize a fragrance industry that had seen little change during the 19th century, Coty set about reinventing the perfumer's fragrance palette.&nbsp; He developed Perfume City in 1909, a residential villa that was transformed into a grand industrial complex.&nbsp; Over time, Perfume City grew and by 1920, Coty owned and controlled all aspects of his fragrance production, including flower fields, packaging factories, print shops and delivery vehicles. <BR><BR>Coty understood that to succeed on a larger scale, he needed to reach a wider audience.&nbsp; His strategy was simple: offer a product of rich appearance that was affordable at a variety of price points.&nbsp; To this end, Coty commissioned artists and manufacturers, such as Ren\u00e9 Lalique and the Glassworks of Baccarat, to design affordable beauty products imbued with luxurious quality never previously available to the masses.&nbsp; The strategy worked and perfume quickly became an international mass-market luxury product. <BR><BR>Coty expanded his company beyond the borders of his native France.&nbsp; In 1912, he opened subsidiaries in New York and London, an important move for the company, as at the end of World War I, many soldiers returned home with gifts of French perfume for their loved ones.&nbsp; This led to a demand for Coty products in the U.S.&nbsp; During the 1920s, Coty continued to diversify and secured a substantial hold on the Italian, Swiss, German, Spanish and South American markets. By 1925, an estimated 36 million women in Europe and the Americas used his products. <BR><BR>Fran\u00e7ois Coty continued to direct this empire until his death in 1934. \u201cOne thing eluded me,\u201d he confessed in the same year. \u201cI never managed to capture the smell of honeysuckle.\u201d It's one of the very few things that eluded perfumery's first genius. <BR><BR>Today, Coty is a&nbsp;leading global&nbsp;beauty company. After more than one hundred years in the business, Coty continues to draw on the creative, entrepreneurial and visionary legacy of its founder and, more recently Bernd Beetz, Chief Executive Officer of Coty Inc. Both visionaries have dramatically shaped and re-shaped the future of the company and the beauty industry itself.","filters":[null],"thumbnailImage":"content\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/gallerythumbnail\/heritage.jpg","headerImage":"content\/sites\/default\/files\/heritage.jpg","headerFlash":{"gradientcolor":"false","brandimagesmall":"false","brandimagelarge":"false","brandlogosmall":"false","brandlogolarge":"false"}},"444":{"contentType":0,"real_id":"30","headerText":"Philanthropy and Community Involvement","video":"false","bodyText":"Over the years, Coty has supported many institutions and programs that reflect the interests and concerns of our consumers and employees around the world.
