The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Lancôme, Calypso is a Floral Fruity fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This composition opens with a burst of plum and pear, balanced by the freshness of bergamot and pepper. The heart notes feature rose, freesia, and lily-of-the-valley, creating an enchanting floral bouquet that transitions into a warm base of patchouli and vanilla, adding depth and sweetness.
Calypso has a moderate longevity and throws a light sillage. To make the most of its warm base notes, apply it to pulse points and let it develop over time for a full experience.
