Today, Lancôme has appointed some of the greatest contemporary perfumers to pay homage to Lancôme's founder, Armand Petitjean. The result is Maison Lancôme, a new collection of fragrances that so exquisitely touch upon and carry on Petitjean's dream and the essence of the House itself. This new High Perfumery experience takes a creative stance: the very French art of blending. Each fragrance is crafted in the same manner in which one composes a wine of the most superior grade (Grand Cru), with a combination of varieties, origins and extractions that are all specially selected according to precise criteria.
