In 1989, Lancôme celebrated its rich fragrance heritage with the launch of Les Trésors de Lancôme, a limited edition collection that reissued some of the house’s most beloved perfumes. This special line included iconic scents such as Sikkim, Magie, Balafre, Climat, Sagamore, Magie Noire, Ô Intense, Ô, and Trophée, each offered in both Parfum and Eau de Parfum concentrations. The bottles were presented in luxurious cardboard boxes covered with gold paper, emphasizing the elegance and timeless quality of the fragrances. Collectors and perfume enthusiasts could purchase individual bottles or a curated trio of three 15ml flacons, allowing them to experience multiple classics in miniature form.
Promotional materials at the time highlighted the nostalgic and evocative nature of the collection: “Give 21 years of French fashion in three original fragrances: Les Trésors de Lancôme. Magie (1950), Climat (1967), and Sikkim (1971). Send someone you love on a journey through time and space to Paris in the ‘Fifties, the ‘Sixties, the ‘Seventies. The power of fragrance to bring back times past is legendary.”
The perfumes were recreated from the original formulas preserved in the Lancôme archives in Paris, ensuring that each scent captured the character and essence of its original era. The offerings—Eau de Parfum in 50ml flacons retailing at $60, or a coffret of three 0.5 oz bottles for $100—presented these classics as collectible treasures, akin to estate jewels or haute couture, emphasizing their enduring style, beauty, and charm across generations.
