Lancôme

This is an exclusive early trade catalog of the great French perfumer produced by Draeger, the talented French designer and printer. A photographic illustration for each fragrance is included, along with a full description of each product, including details of the bottle and packaging. The volume includes the name of each perfume manufactured by Lancôme and a description of the scent with its chief ingredients. The company’s name was inspired by the ruins of a castle in the Loire River Valley, Le Château de Lancosme, while the company's symbol, a single rose, was inspired by the wild roses present in the area of the chateau. This is one of a limited edition of 100 numbered deluxe copies and you can read more about this Lancôme catalog in the Cooper Hewitt Museum’s Object of the Day blog.
