Lancome Paris

Lancôme Paris is a leading international manufacturer and marketer of perfume, cosmetic, and skin care products. It is the prestige cosmetics division of L'Oréal.

The company began in 1935, when its founder, Armand Petitjean was exploring the ruins of a castle, Le Chateau de Lancôme, while vacationing in the French countryside. Petitjean's inspiration for the company's symbol, a rose, were the many wild roses growing around the castle.

Lancôme launched its first five fragrances in 1935 at the World's Fair in Brussels. The fragrances were Tendre Nuit, Bocages, Conquete, Kypre and Tropiques.

Lancôme was introduced in the United States in the 1950s.

The company's dermatologist is Dr. Tina Alster, founder of the Washington Institute of Laser Cosmetic Therapy.
