    Lancôme (French pronunciation:[lɑ̃kom]) is a French perfume and cosmetics house that distributes products internationally.[1] Lancôme is part of L'Oréal which is its parent company and offers skin care, fragrances, and makeup.

    History

    Founded in 1935 by Guillaume d'Ornano and his business partner Armand Petitjean in France, as a fragrance house. The name "Lancôme" was inspired by the forest of Lancosme which lies in the Indre valley in the heart of France in the region of Brenne [fr] - the name was chosen by Guillaume's wife Elisabeth d'Ornano.

    The roses in the area inspired the company's symbol of the single golden rose.[2]

    Lancôme launched its first five fragrances in 1935 at the World's Fair in Brussels: Tendre Nuit, Bocages, Conquete, Kypre and Tropiques.
