The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Lancôme, Hypnôse Senses is a chypre floral fragrance that weaves together the sweet and warm notes of honey, rose, and patchouli. Created by perfumers Christine Nagel, Nathalie Feisthauer, and Ursula Wandel, this composition opens with the bright zest of pink pepper and mandarin orange before settling into a heart of white honey and osmanthus. The base notes of benzoin, tonka bean, and French labdanum create an enveloping warmth that lingers throughout the day.
Apply Hypnôse Senses in light layers — the honey and floral notes are most impactful close to the skin. The fragrance has a slow build, so it's best enjoyed through the day rather than rushed into an evening out.
