The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Lancôme, Benghal is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and warmth. The scent opens with the zesty brightness of mandarin orange and ginger, creating an invigorating contrast to its heart notes of osmanthus and jasmine. This floral bouquet adds a delicate sweetness, which transitions smoothly into a base of sandalwood and musk, grounding the composition in powdery comfort.
For Benghal, aim for two sprays — it has a bright top note that fades within an hour but leaves the powdery base to linger. Best worn during cooler parts of the day when the balance between fresh and warm is most noticeable.
