Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its understated projection and sparkling freshness suit office, casual, and sporty settings perfectly, never overwhelming. For formal events, the breeziness may feel too relaxed or informal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ô de Lancôme opens in a vibrant rush of lemon, bergamot, and mandarin, shimmering with the dew of a garden at dawn. The heart is a breezy bouquet of honeysuckle and jasmine, laced with aromatic basil and rosemary, evoking Mediterranean air. Earthy oakmoss and vetiver underpin the composition, adding a natural, mossy coolness that lingers quietly on the skin. Light, transparent, and utterly refreshing, it is the fragrance equivalent of chilled lemonade in the summer sun.
