Which Should You Buy?
Climat is a legend, but Lancôme has truly messed it up with constant, often inferior, reformulations. If you're lucky enough to find a true vintage, you'll understand the hype for this clean, complex aldehyde floral. Otherwise, prepare for disappointment.
A legendary scent, Climat is a vintage jewel that evokes immense nostalgia for many, particularly those with a sentimental connection. It's a clean, aldehydic powerhouse that, while beloved, might feel too 'retro' or 'soapy' for modern tastes. Be warned though, fakes are everywhere, so only seek out authentic bottles for a true masterpiece.
