Lancôme Lancôme is a French luxury cosmetics house, which offers skin care, fragrances, and makeup at higher-end prices. Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean in France, Lancôme celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010. Petitjean's motive was simple, to create a beauty brand that would deliver French elegance around the world. The name "Lancôme" was inspired by the ruins of a castle, Le Château de Lancosme, while the roses in the area inspired the company's symbol of the single golden rose.
