Another fragrance I find similar in the drydown is Viktor & Rolf's "Antidote". It smells like a super-complex, multi-layered, niche, unisex variant of hypnosis. But does the vibe have any. Lancôme Paris is a French cosmetics company launched by Armand Petitjean, a former Coty employee, in 1935. The company's name was inspired by the ruins of a castle, Le Château de Lancosme, and the brand's rose symbol was inspired by the roses that surround it.

Lancome has worked with some of the most established perfumers in the world, as well as several illustrious models and actresses. Here are just a few well-known faces of the Lancome brand. Perfumers By the way, there is another EdT, which I think is very similar to Hypnosis: "Horizon Man" by Esprit. I matched it from memory, but verified it with perfume. Largest note: Lavender.Isabella Rossellini: A world-famous model who was the face of Tresor for many years, before handing the torch to her daughter Elettra. Floral: These perfumes smell like fresh-cut flowers. Common floral notes include rose, jasmine, and gardenia. Fans of floral scents will like these Lancome perfumes: In the base notes, the warmth of amber is the most dominant scent, lending the perfume a rich and resinous undertone. This is balanced by the animalic and slightly powdery aroma of musk, which adds depth to the overall composition. Patchouli makes a subtle appearance in the base, contributing a touch of earthiness and woody character to the fragrance. However, Horizon somehow plays in a different league, is from my memory simply a cheaper entry-level scent. Like a teen version of Hypnosis. Le Male is stronger, more maritime, therefore really refreshing / cooling in the summer or during sports, and at the same time better cushioned by the vanilla there sweeter. And probably even more attractive.

Maurice has better options even with low budget (Nautica Voyage). I compare this one with Ted Lapidus pour Lui which has the same problem but that one is actually worse cause it's just a Le Male done wrong. For pragmatists or people with a collection of < 10 perfumes, this is an outdated, mid-range, designer fragrance, and there are just so many more modern and better workhorses out there. The better perform, more pleasing, easier to wear. Dominic Ropion: A master perfumer, widely regarded as one of the finest in the world, who helped develop the bestselling La Vie Est Belle collection.I would even say slightly unapproachable, which is probably also the reason that after several tests I let him get dusty in the cupboard for years, and poor "Andi136" had to wait until now for my review. I'd give him the rating "La Nuit Understatement" or something. You could use it for occasions where you want to wear this fragrance but don't want to create a false impression, such as funerals, business meetings, or job interviews. Eau de parfums have a large concentration of perfume oil versus other ingredients, typically fifteen to twenty percent. This means they have stronger sillage and longer longevity than Eau de toilettes. Lancome Eau de parfums include: The first fragrances from Lancôme in 1935 are womens' scents Tendre Nuit, Bocages, Conquete, Kypre and Tropiques. Lancôme joined the L'Oreal family in 1964, after which many of their classic and best-loved fragrances were produced, including Climat, Magie Noire and Tresor. I think hypnosis is a good way out for days when you don't want to be so attractive, or in the case of Le Male want to come across as bold, but a little more confident, and more inconspicuous, mysterious, - but still want to wear about this scent DNA!
