                                                                    ------------

 Certification

I, William P. Lauder, certify that:                                             

1.     I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of The Estee Lauder   
Companies Inc.;                                                   

2.     Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue 
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
    to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
  such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this quarterly report;                                 

3.     Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial     
  information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
       material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
   flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
quarterly report;                                                 

4.     The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for      
 establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
       defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant
and have:                                                         

    a)         Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                 our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
             during the period in which this quarterly report is being
prepared;                                   

   b)         Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
            controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
               and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
report based on such evaluation; and        

c)         Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                 the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
               fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
            affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting; and                              

5.     The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on 
      our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's
  board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

    a)         All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
          design or operation of internal control over financial
                 reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
                 registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial information; and                  

     b)         Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
         or other employees who have a significant role in the
           registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
