Beauty is my heritage, but home decor is very much my passion.

The effect of scent is really interesting. It can create a mood and change a feeling immediately. I wanted to create a modern wardrobe of fragrances ... fragrances that can be very personal to the woman who's wearing them.

I have always loved books, and as a mother, I wanted to share my passion for reading with my children.

When you ask women what's the one thing they wish they had more of, they always say time.

I'm natural, but I wear makeup seven days a week.

When I took the job as Estée Lauder's creative director, the first thing I did was go into the archives! I love taking our heritage and making it modern.

I love to decorate a room - from the furniture to the objects to the books.
