Lancome Perfumes Collection
Lancôme is a prestigious French perfume and cosmetics house, founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, with a mission to spread the spirit and taste of French elegance around the world. The brand operates as part of the Luxury Products division of its parent company, L'Oréal, which acquired it in 1964
Brand Philosophy and Mission
Lancôme's core philosophy is that "beauty is more than appearance; it is a source of happiness, confidence, and self-expression". The brand's mission is to "make every woman feel beautiful – and happy – in her own way". This is achieved by combining scientific expertise with an intuitive understanding of women's needs, offering high-quality, effective, and sensorial products

- Innovation & Science: The brand is at the forefront of beauty tech, using decades of research to create high-performance, innovative products while also focusing on sustainability and ethical sourcing
Heritage and Symbol
The name "Lancôme" was inspired by the ruins of the castle of Lancosme in the Indre valley in France. The roses in the area inspired the company's enduring symbol: the single golden rose. In 2020, Lancôme acquired the Domaine de la Rose in Grasse, the historical birthplace of modern perfumery, to further its commitment to fragrance heritage, biodiversity, and sustainable production of perfume plants
