From the entrance, Lancôme welcomes visitors into an immersive and experiential space: the Joy Of Now.

With updates that will “pop up” five times a year, this ephemeral beauty pop-up is a grandiose exhibition space with a triple height ceiling and ornamented with hanging rose petals, that recreates the essence of the Lancôme world. This striking decor marks the entrance into Lancôme’s world of happiness with an immersive experience, both physical and digital.

From the Joy of Now space that greets you first, the store opens up into a large space devoted to fragrance.

Beauty tech for all

Shade Finder by Lancôme is a unique and revolutionary tool that can recommend the most accurate Lancôme foundation shade for your skin thanks to advanced technology combining artificial intelligence and consumer needs.

This technology’s powerful algorithm is highly precise and can identify 20,000 potential skin tones. This is based on tens of thousands of tests that have been carried out on real skin tones.

Also available at the flagship, our patented bespoke foundation technology Le Teint Particulier, that creates tailor-made foundation, in perfect harmony with each woman’s complexion. Le Teint Particulier, the ultimate personalization tool, can make up to 72,000 different formulas depending on the desired shade, level of coverage and hydration.

And Youth Finder is a skincare diagnostic tool connected to an iPad app that evaluates the face’s skin in order to obtain a personalized skincare routine based on the needs identified by the scanner.

On top of these innovations, all other technologies including the virtual mirror are available to meet your needs, desires and dreams.

Many tangible achievements like rechargeable products and a zero-waste bin provided by TerraCycle® in which customers are invited to deposit their finished products for recycling are available at the flagship.

Among the rechargeable products, you can find the Absolue Soft Cream and Absolue L’Extrait Elixir skincare creams. Each of them has dedicated capsules that clip into the jar which can be kept, in order to limit the environmental impact.

In 2019, Lancôme launched the new Idôle fragrance that can be refillabled thanks to a recharging fountain.

The societal commitments of the brand are also highlighted: Lancôme is committed to supporting a cause close to our hearts with Write Her Future, which aims at fighting illiteracy among young women around the world.
