The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1967 and crafted by Gérard Goupy, Climat (Vintage) by Lancôme captures the essence of French elegance with its intricate blend of aldehydic freshness and powdery warmth. The fragrance opens with a vibrant mix of narcissus, lily-of-the-valley, and violet, creating an immediate sense of floral brightness. As it settles into a woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, and bamboo, the scent takes on a subtle muskiness that adds depth without overpowering the delicate florals.
Apply Climat (Vintage) with two sprays on pulse points for the best effect. The aldehydic top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so allow them to settle before heading out. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it provides a gentle warmth that carries through the day without becoming too heavy.
