Career
Ann Gottlieb was an untrained and unknown nose when she began her career at Revlon in 1967, traveling around the country and instructing department store saleswomen about cosmetics. Her dream was to be a buyer for Lord & Taylor yet two years later; she was hired by Estee Lauder to assist in developing fragrances for men. “Because I was involved in product development, Mrs. Lauder would ask my opinion of the fragrances she was developing. She sensed that I had talent for it.” During her six and a half years working for the corporation, she learned the art, science, and business of fragrance under the personal tutelage of Mrs. Estee Lauder, rising to the head of product development for the Estee Lauder, Clinique and Aramis divisions. Gottlieb credits Lauder with nurturing her budding career as a nose. Ann subsequently held the same position at both Elizabeth Arden, Revlon’s prestige division, Group 3 and at Warner Cosmetics Ralph Lauren Fragrances). In these roles, Ann participated in the creation of many of the classic fragrances we still know and love today. A few other job positions followed, including work on several fragrances for Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret and Axe body spray collections.

In 1983, she formed a New York-based consultancy-Ann Gottlieb Associates-specializing in new product development with an emphasis on fragrance. From its inception, Ann was committed to providing the best in specialized olfactive product development in the industry. After being hired by Calvin Klein to work on a fragrance, which became known as Obsession, her company really took off.
