Founded in Paris in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, Lancôme began as a fragrance house with five creations presented at the Brussels World’s Fair. The rose became its emblem, while the brand quickly expanded into skincare and makeup. After opening a beauty school in 1942, Lancôme joined L’Oréal in 1964 and continued its development in the luxury sector.
Lancôme’s style is rooted in an idea of radiant French beauty, with the rose at its heart. Its fragrances are created in France and combine research, finely crafted ingredients and the signatures of renowned perfumers. The house also maintains a close connection with Grasse, particularly through its Centifolia rose.
Lancome fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
