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 Ronald S. Lauder, as Grantor, 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

ITEM 3.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP
(a) At December 31, 2005, the Reporting Person beneficially owned
2,843,002 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows: the
Reporting Person directly holds 2,843,002 shares of Class B
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the "Class
B Common Stock").
(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 2,843,002 shares of Class
A Common Stock, which would constitute 2.2% 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 2,843,002 shares
of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person constitute 2.9% 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
2,843,002 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting
Person.
