My instinctive first guess would be that they sound like brand names of ladies fashion or cosmetics. Whenever I see a smalltime Japanese designer in the wild, the brand name is in French 6 times out of 10, especially if they're aiming for the Japanese market.

Unfortunately, googling does not seem to support this guess.
