Maison Lumière
Founded in Aix-en-Provence by chemist and cosmetician Hélène Marchand, Lumière is a study in patience, formulated one batch at a time.
Hélène opens her atelier above a perfumery in Aix-en-Provence with three formulations and a single mortar.
The Radiance Serum wins its first Beauty Heroes editorial recognition. The waitlist reaches 1,200 names.
Lumière opens its flagship boutique in Paris's 6th arrondissement and its formulation lab in Grasse.
Today, Lumière is sold in 14 select boutiques worldwide, still made in batches of fewer than 800 units.
