Lancome launched this green, floral fragrance in 1967. Climat is an irresistible fragrance, a spring garden of warm climates.

This fragrance is a part of the collection of perfumes "La Collection Fragrances" launched to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the perfume tradition of the house of Lancome. The perfumes of this collection were released in elegant, transparent bottles designed in the early 1960's by one of founders of the house of Lancome, George Delhomme.
