Charles Lalanne initially ran a beauty salon at 3 rue d’Aguesseau in Paris, where he established his reputation as an innovative figure in the beauty industry. Around 1919, he founded Parfums Lalanne, a short-lived but versatile company that not only created perfumes but also produced a wide range of cosmetics, perfumed soaps, hair care products, and various toiletries. The company operated until 1933, when it was acquired by Académie Scientifique de Beauté. Lalanne’s venture stood out during its time for the diversity of its offerings and for incorporating both traditional and inventive beauty solutions.
Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, Charles Lalanne was known for his patented hair care innovations. He developed a number of unique hair waving devices, hair tinting methods, wig-making techniques, and other specialized beauty products. Among his more unusual creations was a "Barrette parfumée," an intriguing item that seemed to function as a perfume-infused hair barrette, offering a wearable fragrance accessory.
