Hypnôse Eau De Parfum

A swirl of powdery vanilla, passionflower and white florals - jasmine and gardenia. But that's not all, because the vetiver is there to elevate the composition, adding a warm, woody dimension to the fragrance. The result is a very distinctive scent, and I'm genuinely surprised that some people consider it "basic". Yes, it's sweet, but it's worlds apart from the kind of sweetness that dominates modern perfumery. There's a real delicacy here, and the composition is beautifully built around the passionflower. This is a fragrance that transcends both age and season; it feels timeless. In my opinion, one of Lancôme's last truly great perfumes...
