Male madness by Calvin Klein
Every day, researchers are working to bring the best of science. Among the great famous perfumes of the brand, we note "Trésor, Magie Noire, La vie est belle or Magnifique". In 1969, the Lancôme house unveiled “ ô de Lancôme ”, a fresh and feminine eau de toilette. “Ô d'Azur” in 2009, was intended as a first variation, then “Ô de l'Orangerie” was born in 2011 and puts the orange blossom in the spotlight.
Originally, the Ô de Lancôme
In 1969, the Lancôme brand unveiled its fresh water, “Ô de Lancôme”. The fashion for perfumery was at that time, with heady and sustained essences. However, Lancôme decides to go against the tide and offers light and airy water. As soon as it was released, “Ô de Lancôme” won over a large number of women, including Brigitte Bardot, and will be a timeless success… To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Lancôme wishes to offer its fans a variation as fresh and light as its eldest, “ Ô de l'Orangerie ”. For this new “Ô”, Lancôme wanted a sensual juice, as delicate as a caress of orange blossom, the central flower of the composition. This fresh essence plunges us into a garden in the middle of an orangery. The freshness is found through a corner of shade, where the smells intoxicate us.
Orange blossom at the heart of the composition
“L'Ô de l'Orangerie” is defined as a sensual, fresh and daring eau. Its composition gives pride of place to orange blossom. It is two talented perfumers who are at the origin of this essence, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion. Both have decided to pay tribute to the orange blossom. Dominique Ropion thus expresses the beginnings “We had in mind the idea of a fresh and radiant femininity. We dreamed of a refined fresh water that would celebrate this mythical flower of perfumery by letting it unveil itself with modesty and majesty ”. “L'Ô de l'Orangerie” begins with the fresh notes of bergamot, associated with aquatic notes. Orange is added here by bringing a very particular sparkle. The orange blossom absolute envelops the heart in its beauty. With her, neroli and jasmine deliver touches of great femininity. The base brings together benzoin with woody notes and envelops the whole in a soft sensuality. The bottle uses the codes of its elder. Heavy and majestic, it lets its tender green juice show through almost innocent.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its first fresh water, Lancôme unveils “L'Ô de l'Orangerie”, designed all around orange blossom. Faithful to the Ô de Lancôme, this new variation is meant to be fresh and feminine. However, she is more airy than her eldest and also more sensual. A refined water for a seductive anniversary.
