Oriflame issues trading update for Q3 and incre...

Group sales for  the third  quarter 2008 have  developed strongly  in
most markets, and will  be approximately 30%  in Euro, implying  even
stronger sales growth in local currency. Sales growth for Russia  was
approximately 36% in local currency mainly due to strong recruitment.

Margins for the third  quarter are expected  to be slightly  stronger
than last year (8.6% before restructuring costs).

As a consequence, Oriflame  is increasing its  sales outlook for  the
year, which previously was  to increase sales by  above 15% in  local
currency. Sales growth for  2008 is now expected  to be above 20%  in
local currency. The outlook that the operating margin is expected  to
improve despite  the  prevailing exchange  rate  environment  remains
unchanged.

As has  been shown  historically,  Oriflame's quarterly  results  are
affected by a number of factors such as the:

  * Effectiveness of individual catalogues and product introductions
  * Effectiveness and timing of recruitment programmes
  * Timing of sales and marketing activities
  * The number of effective sales days per quarter
  * Currency effect on sales and results

Oriflame Cosmetics SA is publishing its interim report for the period
January - September on 22 October.
