RIMMEL

(HISTORY)

Beauty loves a legend, and legends don’t come much more compelling than the story behind Rimmel, one of the world’s oldest cosmetics brands. In 1820, a respected French perfumer who had been trained by the famous Lubin, perfumer to Empress Josephine, the wife of Napoleon I, accepted an invitation to manage a perfumery in London’s prestigious Bond Street. By 1834, the move to London had proved so successful that, together with his son and apprentice Eugene Rimmel, then aged just 14, he opened a perfumery of his own. The House of Rimmel was established.

As the business flourished, so too did the talents of Eugene Rimmel. By the age of 24, he had become, not only an expert perfumer, but also a cosmetics visionary, experimenting with fragrance and colour, and travelling the world in search of exotic ingredients and new ideas. A pioneer of personal hygiene, he developed some truly innovative products, including

1. mouth rinses,

2. 2.fragranced pomades and

3. 3. an ingenious scented steam vaporizer.

While high society flocked to his flagship perfumery in Regent

    Estee Lauder, born Josephine Ester Mentzer, is a somewhat mysterious figure in that little is known of her formative years. She and her husband Joseph founded the company with the couple’s formulation of their original products; Estee Lauder Creme Pack, Estée Lauder Cleansing Oil, and Estée Lauder All Purpose Creme and Skin Lotion. By the year 1948 they had established Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City as their first retail department store account. Five years after the rollout of their first products, the company produced a surprising new product with the development of Youth-Dew; a bath oil with a lingering quality fragrance versatile enough to double as a perfume.…

    Estee Lauder’s beauty and health skin products made a huge impact to women around the world. She was an exceptionally talented and successful promoter. Lauder later decided to venture into the male cosmetic market in 1964 using her sons to test the products. In 1965 she came out with Aramis and an entire line foe men’s skin which she relaunched in 1967. Another popular product was the fragrance-free Clinique line. Both of her sons Leonard and Ronald Lauder took over the company along with their wives Evelyn and Jo Carole. Leonard took over as president of Estee Lauder, Inc in 1973. In 1970 she was recognized by 575 business and financial editors as one of ten outstanding women in business. Three interesting facts about Estee is that in 1984 she and seven others were chosen as outstanding mother of the year, the second fact is that she was listed by Forbes as one of the four hundred richest Americans, and the third one is that she was the only woman on time magazines listed as the 20 most influential businesses of the 20th century. Till this day the product still exist. Estee Lauder died on April 24, 2004 at her home in Manhattan. She died at the age of 97. One of her quotes that I really liked was “I was a woman with a mission and single-minded in the pursuit of my dream” this quote simply explains the secret to her success.

    Elizabeth Arden made her passion known by revolutionizing the world of cosmetics, converting merchandises into necessities for the commercial consumer and establishing a flourishing international business. Her industry trick ‘repetition makes reputation and reputation makes customers’, has never let her down. It’s hard to belief, once a young woman with only her massage skills would ever become a successful businesswoman in a time and industry with not considerable promise. Against odds, Arden succeeded in creating a name for herself and transforming an entire trade. Even starting out with just her salon on 5th Avenue, Elizabeth knew that to sell a product, she had to sell herself. Using her extreme confidence and elegance, she expanded her business rapidly. Undeniably, Arden’s accomplishments originate from her sense of salesmanship and knack of making anyone believe in her magic. Described as ‘indisputably, the originator of the global, luxury, beauty industry as it exists today’, her efforts as a cosmetic/pharmaceutical/beauty professional are worth recognition.…

    Likewise, Women aged between eighteen and above are the targeted audience for Rimmel London’s product. I am given this impression as Kate Moss; a successful ‘cool’ style and beauty icon (many men love and women look up to) is the model being used to display and promote this product. This is an advantage as it would boost Rimmel London’s sales due to the fact that many women would purchase this product satisfied with Kate’s involvement and simply in order to feel beautiful, like Kate moss and model material.…

    Perfume has played a role in human existence and interaction for many thousands of years. The word “perfume” is widely acknowledged originates from the Latin language, and if divided the word into two word, ‘per’ is meaning ‘through’ and ‘fumar’ meaning ‘to smoke’.

    Introduction In Russia, any cosmetic coming from France has a special aura. The reason is that, for the Russian and a lot of other countries, France rimes with glamour, fashion and elegance. That is why I decided to study one of the most successful French business abroad, Yves Rocher, created in 1959 and now implemented in more than 50 countries all over the world. We are going to see how the company spread in Russia starting in the beginning of the 90s, first in Moscow, to reach today Vladivostok and we will observe the very specific political context the firm settled in and how it contributed, in a way, to the success of the French business. History The man who created Yes Rocher Company was Yves Rocher himself, his concept was to use plants to make cosmetics and to sell it by mail order. Yves Rocher is born in 1930 and died in 2009; he was an industrial and a politic. He grew up in La Gacilly in France, where everything started for him. When he was 14, an old lady gave him the recipe of a hemostatic cream, and then he decided to create it in his attic and to sell it by mail order. Natural products and mail order constituted the foundation of his cosmetic business founded in 1959. Early he was focused on the biological agriculture and he wanted to democratize access to beauty products. His business won’t stop to grow up and 3 years after the beginning he opened his first shop. At the late 80’s Yves Rocher group was a prosper business with international dimension, and open its first shop in Russia, in 1991 in Moscow.…
