  • Entering the Men's Fragrance Market

    After seeing Dana Perfumes' Canoe sell out rapidly in the U.S., Estée Lauder decided to enter the men's prestige fragrance market. They launched Aramis in December 1963 with a five-product range, even though department stores didn't have dedicated men's counters yet.

    LessonEarly entry into an emerging category can define a brand as a pioneer, even if the retail infrastructure isn't fully ready.

  • Final Closure and Asset Absorption

    The e-commerce operation finally closed in 2019, but Estée Lauder moved successful products like the 'Calyx' fragrance to Clinique. Technologies like the 'Virtual Match' were integrated into the main Estée Lauder and MAC brands.

    LessonA failed brand's 'DNA' can still provide value if you successfully migrate its best assets to other parts of your business.
