On the death of his father Emile Lecaron (1830-1909) and subsequently his elder brother Maurice Lecaron (1858-1907), he would inherit in 1885 the perfumes and cosmetics company Gellé Frères which his grandfather, Jean Baptiste Gellé (1801-1895) founded in 1826.
He was named a knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honour in 1921, then an officer in 1926.
He died in 1940 at his residence, Avenue Kléber in Paris.
