Though founded in 1935, the history of Lancome begins years earlier
when the relationship of its founder, Armand Petitjean came to a head
with Francois Coty with whom he had collaborated to produce perfumes.
Parting ways because of differences in perceptions regarding production
and sales, Petitjean introduced the first five Lancome fragrances at
the World’s Fair in Brussels in its founding year. The company’s name
was inspired by the ruins of Le Chateau de Lancosme and the roses in
the vicinity of the castle, the company’s symbol. The brand’s first
five fragrances—Tropiques, Conquete, Kypre, Tendres Nuit and Bocages
were created to represent the five continents of the world, each
distinct and unique but all immediate successes.
Petitjean’s goal was to create a beauty brand to deliver French
elegance around the world and his collaboration with Coty’s former
artistic director in creating their elegant perfume bottles was a
start. Lancome later expanded its brand to include cosmetics and skin
care products for both men and women and is known today not only for
the quality of their goods, but by their high profile advertising
campaigns that feature top models and celebrities photographed by
leading fashion photographers.
