Established by Gillaume Lenthéric, a hairdresser, at 245 rue
du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, Paris in 1875. Expanded into millinery
and originally made fragrances only on request to his customers; between
1910 to 1964 launched approximately 140 fragrances. Acquired in 1965
by the British American Tobacco group, sold to Smith Kline Beecham pharmaceuticals
in 1985, merged with Yardley in 1993; the name was licensed to International
Brands in 1994. In 1998 Lenthéric Ltd was re-established as an
independent perfume company under the Fine Fragrances & Cosmetic
umbrella.
