The story behind the bottle.
Chrysalide Now or Never by Lancôme was launched in 1998 as a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. This scent opens with bright and juicy fruity notes that create an immediate sense of vibrancy and excitement, balanced by the soft green undertones that add a fresh, natural feel. The heart blossoms into white florals and yellow flowers, which are enhanced by warm spicy elements to create a warm and inviting aroma. The woody base notes provide a grounding element, ensuring that the composition remains both elegant and sophisticated.
Apply this fragrance liberally to pulse points for a long-lasting experience. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so it’s important that they catch your attention right away. The warm spicy heart and woody base will carry through the day, making it ideal for both daytime and evening wear.
