In this guide, I have listed the various perfumes presented by Lentheric from  1922 to 1986, as well as some brief history of the company. Lentheric produced presentations that ranged from luxury to low-priced and was the first beauty salon with its own perfumes.

Lentheric is an old company which was established in 1795 as a millinery. In the 19th century, fashion accessories were added to the store. From 1873, perfumes were being informally blended in the store for sale. Guillame Lentheric, a hairdresser, established the perfume-cosmetics company La Parfumerie des Orchidees in 1885.  A large building at 245 rue du Faubourg-Saint Honore in Paris was acquired in 1885 and turned into a salon for millinery, perfumes, cosmetics and important beauty-hairdressing.

By 1900, branches were opened in Deauville, Monte Carlo, Nice, Baden-Baden, and London. In 1910, the company was acquired by Velsch & Holtz.
