Lancome is a French cosmetics and fragrance company first started as a perfumery in 1935 by Armand Petitjean. Both the name
Lancome and the logo, a rose, came from a visit Petitjean took to the castle Le Chateau de
Lancome.
The company's products were first introduced to the United States in 1950, and are currently available on all seven continents in 163 different countries.
Lancome offers a wide variety of makeup, fragrances, and skin and hair care products for both men and women.
