The real coup was winning in 2004 the North American rights to distribute the much coveted fragrance brand Creed, maker of scents for the likes of Princess Grace. Emmanuel and Thomas have new titles, vice chairman and president, respectively, for the launch this year of a new fragrance and a luxury skin-care line, the latter in partnership with Brazilian plastic-surgery specialist Clinica Ivo Pitanguy...
