The history of Coty begins in Paris, France. Founded by Joseph Marie François Spoturno, it was then a perfume house. To launch his new business, he chose a new name that could evoke elegance and beauty worldwide. Inspired by his mother, Marie Adolphine Coti, François replaced the 'i' in his maiden name with a 'y', and thus was born.
