Inspired by delicate, fragrant roses while vacationing in the French countryside, Armand Petitjean launched Lancome with five fragrances in 1935. Lancome soon expanded beyond its perfume line to offer a complete range of skincare and makeup products. In 1936, Nutrix cream was introduced with a formula still unchanged to this day. Lancome's beloved beauty products include concealer, powder, night treatments, sun care products, and mascara.
