Established by Armand Petitjean (1884 to 1982) in Chevilly Larue near
Paris in 1935; named after a chateau in Touraine; born at Saint-Loup-sur-Semose;
moved to Chile after attending college in Belgium; returned to Belgium
at the outbreak of First World War; joins Coty after the war; returns
to South America; runs Coty agency; returned to Europe in 1927; realized
he was a 'nose'; starts own business; launched five fragrances that year.
Later moved to 29 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré; Petitjean retired
in 1963; the Company was taken over by L'Oreal in 1964. (The rose is
indelibly associated with Lancôme, given its founder Armand Petitjean’s
strong passion for this flower. An avid rosarian, he cultivated roses
in his garden in Ville d'Avray, outside of Paris and as a result, not
only has the rose become an important symbolic representation of the
house, but it has also found a central place in the Lancôme fragrances)
