ITEM 1. IDENTITY OF ISSUER
(a) The name of the issuer is The Estee Lauder Companies Inc.
(the "Issuer").
(b) The address of the Issuer's principal executive office is
767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY OF PERSON FILING
(a)-(c) This report is being filed by the Trust f/b/o Aerin Lauder
and Jane Lauder u/a/d December 15, 1976 created by Estee
Lauder and Joseph H. Lauder, as Grantors, with a business
address of c/o Richard D. Parsons, One Time Warner Center,
New York, New York 10019 (the "Reporting Person"). The
Reporting Person was organized in the State of New York.
(d)-(e) This report covers the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"). The CUSIP
number of the Class A Common Stock is 518439 10 4.
ITEM 3.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP
(a) At December 31, 2006, the Reporting Person beneficially
owned 3,646,591 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
3,646,591 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Issuer (the "Class B Common Stock") held
directly by the Reporting Person.
(b) Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the
option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock
and is automatically converted into one share of Class A
Common Stock upon transfer to a person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, as that term is defined in the
Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation. Assuming conversion
of all such shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person would
beneficially own 3,646,591 shares of Class A Common Stock,
which would constitute 2.9% of the number of shares of Class
A Common Stock outstanding.
Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to
one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer's
stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock
entitles the holder to ten votes on each such matter,
including the election of directors of the Issuer. Assuming
no conversion of any of the outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock, the 3,646,591 shares of Class B Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Reporting Person constitute 3.8%
of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer.
(c) Richard D. Parsons, as the sole trustee of the Reporting
Person, has sole voting and dispositive power with respect
to the 3,646,591 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the
Reporting Person.
ITEM 5. OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS
Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON
Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder, as beneficiaries of the Reporting
Person, and Richard D. Parsons, as the sole trustee of the Reporting

of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the 3,646,591
shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.
ITEM 7. IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE
SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY

ITEM 8. IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP
The Reporting Person is a party to a Stockholders' Agreement (the

offer to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the stockholder in
the event the stockholder intends to sell to a person (or group of
