The Lancôme philosophy
Modern temples dedicated to both beauty and sensual pleasure, our
boutiques are the Embassies of the Paris Institute and of French
glamour throughout the world. From the inviting lounge to the playful
but professional make-up bars, all of our boutiques are an enticement
to a tactile discovery of the multiple facets of the Lancôme universe.
Seduction and elegance are at their peak in the polysensorial intimacy
of our beauty booths. Greeted by the sensuality of the textures and
fragrances and the elegance of the shapes and dream-like sounds, from
the moment you enter, each of your senses is stimulated in a perfect
blend of harmony and understanding so that luxury, calmness and sensual delight reign in the depths of your being. To quote the essential
words of Paul Valéry, “The deepest is the skin”… Your skin.
For Lancôme, it is also a commitment to gaining ever deeper insights
into the scientific knowledge of the human metabolism each day and
assuring women, and modern men, the safety and optimal performance of
its innovative products. Allow yourself to be seduced by the excellence
of our polysensorial beauty treatments and ranges…
Our luxury
is your well-being.
Your beauty,
our signature.

The Ambassadors of Institut Lancôme
Today, the pleasure and efficacy of Lancôme beauty products are available to you – in more
than 40 countries across five continents – courtesy of our estheticians and the standard of
excellence of their expertise. Welcoming and discreet, these beauty professionals take all your
wishes into consideration and are the ambassadors of the unique Lancôme “savoir faire”
throughout the world.
Assisted by highly sophisticated equipment, trained in thousand-year old massage techniques
and, of course, the performance of Lancôme products (reinforced by the efficiency of our
serums and our professional ranges), they will advise and recommend the best customised
treatments to make the most of your physical aura.
The Lancôme High Tech Chrysalis
Like sensory and emotional cocoons, our beauty booths provide a precious moment in your
own private world. As you surrender to the gentle embrace of the beauty cocoon, far from
the gaze and pressures of the outside world, you are the centre of all our attentions.
Depending on each treatment, the “high tech chrysalis” becomes a firefly, a chromotherapy
session, and a warm orange glow to stimulate joy, ocean blue if you long for serenity or
Amazonian green if you need deep revitalising.
An ingenious alchemy between perfume and music increases the state of receptiveness to
products and massage in sensuous harmony. Our cosmetic ranges use a wide palette of aromas combining the pleasure of the senses with the power of essential oils. The sound design
uses as many shades and tones in their invigorating or relaxing compositions created exclusively by the International Center for Music Therapy.
The Lancôme philosophy is to cater to the body and mind. “A beautiful skin is a happy skin”.
The treatment areas come alive, as the polysensorial adventure is an event in itself.
The event of beauty. Your event.
