.lancome
generic
.lancome is a generic top-level domain that was intended for the Lancome brand, a French cosmetics company owned by L'Oreal. The domain extension did not launch and has no sponsoring organization assigned. It was never added to the root zone. In July 2016, ICANN delegated the domain to L'Oreal. That delegation was revoked in November 2019. The .lancome domain has no active registry or name servers. It is effectively a retired TLD. Anyone hoping to register a .lancome address cannot do so. The domain was created as part of ICANN's new gTLD program but did not survive the post-delegation phase. L'Oreal requested its revocation three years after the initial contract was signed.
History
The .lancome domain was delegated to L'Oreal on July 13, 2016. It was part of a wave of brand-specific TLDs awarded during ICANN's new gTLD expansion. The domain never appeared in the root zone. On November 28, 2019, ICANN revoked the delegation at L'Oreal's request. The IANA record was last updated on that date. The extension's registration date was July 7, 2016. The domain is one of several brand TLDs that were delegated but later withdrawn before they could be used.
Eligibility and restrictions
The domain is not available for registration. It is a retired brand TLD that was revoked by the sponsor.
