“La vie est belle,” a French expression meaning “life is beautiful,” is about choosing your own path to happiness and inspiring others.

Lancôme was founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean and co-founder Guillaume d’Ornano in France. “Why did I create Lancôme?” said Petitjean one day, “Because I had seen that two American brands had taken control of the beauty industry. A French brand should be up alongside them.” Originally Lancôme was a fragrance house. The name “Lancôme” was inspired by the Château de Lancosme in Vendoeuvres in the Indre region of France.

The roses in the area inspired the company’s logo the rose imprinted to this day on all Lancôme products as well as the cultivation of its very own signature rose in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world in the south of France at the Domaine de la Rose an ecological horticultural site spanning 9.8 acres (4 hectares) purchased in 2020.

Lancôme brings together French savior-faire and groundbreaking products. Lancôme is part of the L’Oréal Luxury Products division, it is a luxury brand with a collection of fragrances, skincare, and makeup. Their most famous products include their mascaras, namely “Hypnôse”, and their “Visionnaire Range” which contains a patented ingredient, “LR 2412”, aimed to improve skin texture color qualities, especially in pore reduction, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, and “L’Absolu Rouge” Cream Lipstick.
