ConquĂȘte by LancĂŽme, launched in 1935, emerged during a tumultuous and transformative era known as the Great Depression. This period was marked by widespread economic hardship, yet also saw a remarkable flourishing of creativity and escapism in popular culture. Amidst the struggles, there was a longing for romance, adventure, and heroism, which found expression in various forms of media, including films and fashion that often romanticized the medieval era, knights, and chivalric conquests.
The choice of the name "ConquĂȘte" for this perfume is particularly evocative and fitting for the time. The word "conquĂȘte" is French for "conquest," a term rich with historical and emotional resonance. It conjures images of knights, gallant battles, and the pursuit of noble goals, themes that were incredibly appealing during the Great Depression. These themes offered an escape from the harsh realities of daily life, providing a sense of grandeur and timeless elegance.
