It is so fresh, green and lightly mossy and the top has such a clean, subdued, bright citrus. For me O’ de Estee Lauder makeup is the love child of a mature Ma Griffe and a young Estee Lauder Pleasures for Men. Super fresh and very green, O de Lancôme smells to me like a very green floral chypre with a bright citrus opening. This was what bright and shiny perfumes smelled like pre-Y2K. Now they all seem to have an SSRI sheen and smell very simple and abstract. This is citrus, bergamot, herbal mix with some vintage feel to it.
This is a sharp, zesty citrus–not fleshy or juicy, but bracingly zesty. I also thought I smelled ginger but that is not listed. It has that light, veil-like smell and feel of aldehydes, and dries down to a rather dry and astringent oakmoss, which smells vintage by default. Longevity maybe 5 hours, sillage was fair. For the final touch of luxury before you meet the day, add a mist of Lancôme perfume.
Two years later, he expanded Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR into cosmetics, creating a pinky-red lipstick scented with roses that remained a bestseller over the next 30 years. In 1964, L’Oréal acquired Lancôme, and it is now one of the largest luxury skincare companies in the world. That’s why any fragrance that we tested that had poor lasting power was immediately excluded from the list, even if they did smell amazing.
I wore it during the summer months when I was in the Midi in France visiting my family. The Midi is the center-south part of France and has very warm and sunny summers. This scent was a breath of fresh air on and on. It smells very natural and it’s Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR a very soothing scent to relax under the sun with a hat on and a good book. I usually have problems when it’s way too citrusy but I think the woody notes calm it down and make a very nice jolly scent. I loved it, I love it and I want it back.
