The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Peut-Etre by Lancôme, launched in 2008 and reimagined by Nathalie Lorson, is an ode to the poetic moments of anticipation and hope that define a woman's journey. The fragrance opens with fresh seringa flowers before giving way to a heart of iris and Bulgarian rose, capturing the essence of a French garden filled with blooming florals. The base notes of musk and amber provide a warm and comforting embrace, much like the lingering scent of petals in the air.

How to wear it

Apply Peut-Etre to pulse points — it blooms best on warm skin. The fresh top notes are fleeting, but the musky base lingers throughout the day.
