Lancôme

	The year it all began was 1935. While vacationing in the French countryside, Armand Petitjean happened upon a charming castle ruin- Le Chateau de Lancôme. He was inspired by the delicate, fragrant roses, which grew among the weathered stones. The rose encapsulated the feminine beauty of a woman. M. Petitjean chose the rose as the symbol of his new company, Lancôme. A perfumery, which would bring the same beauty into the lives of all women. He orchestrated Lancôme's first appearance with great skill. In 1935, he launched five new fragrances simultaneously, presenting them to the world at the June opening of the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Lancôme was the center of attention. Building upon this success, M. Petitjean soon expanded beyond his perfume line to offer a complete range of products, including makeup and skincare. During the years that followed, Lancôme continued to establish its prestigious reputation throughout the world and came to the United States in the 1950's, answering a growing need for superior-quality products.

	Lancôme Today Today, more than ever, Lancôme is dedicated to maintaining exacting quality standards and developing the new concepts in beauty, which have trademarked its products for over 60 years. The sprit of creativity is fully expressed through Lancôme's renowned makeup range. The spirit of Petitjean's original concept, of Lancôme as a great perfume-house, is demonstrated in all its subtle glory with successes such as Attraction, Trésor, and Miracle. Armand Petitjean himself could have chosen such a description for his dream, a dream that has today become a global reality. With the dawn of the new millennium, Lancôme has become what he dreamed it could be.
