Shares of Estee Lauder (NYSE:EL), which already licenses Tom Ford fragrances and cosmetics, fell marginally in extended trading.

Tom Ford entered into exclusive negotiations with Estee Lauder last week, beating competing bids from a number of other companies including Gucci owner Kering (EPA:PRTP) SA, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
