Those seeking a break from the saccharine prettiness of Oxford's colleges-or the steep prices of its centuries-old pubs-will find it here.

...keyed to the chronological and cultural differences of its consumers. The result of this market segmentation: a long-term global-beauty jigsaw, coming together piece by piece. "We're going to have to imagine things that appeal to both ends of the age spectrum and to very different ethnic consumers," says Lindsay Owen-Jones, 57, the Brit who has been at L'Oreal's helm for the past 19 years.
