Ô de Lancôme
by Lancôme
Ô de Lancôme is a classic, unisex citrus chypre that delivers an intense yet refined aromatic freshness. The opening bursts with bright, zesty citrus notes—bergamot, lemon, and mandarin—paired with a sharp herbal kick from basil, rosemary, and coriander, giving it a lively, clean character reminiscent of an herb garden after rain. As it develops, the fragrance softens into a layered, earthy base of oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, and subtle floral hints like honeysuckle and jasmine, creating a quietly powerful, high-toned chypre aura. It feels both timeless and wearable, evoking a sense of elegant freshness—ideal for warm weather, casual outings, and day-to-day wear. The scent is bold but never overwhelming, offering a dignified, meticulously balanced profile that stands out among modern floral or sweet-focused fragrances.
