The story behind the bottle.
Programme Homme Cologne by Lancôme was launched in 1987 as a fresh and aromatic cologne that embodies the essence of French elegance. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of lime and lemon, enhanced by the freshness of basil and geranium. This vibrant top layer gives way to a heart of lavender and oakmoss, creating a sense of balance between spiciness and warmth. The base notes of labdanum and olibanum lend depth and longevity to the composition, grounding it in earthy mossy tones.
Apply Programme Homme Cologne lightly to the pulse points in the morning for an all-day scent. The citrus notes are bright but fade after two hours, so a second application might be needed later in the day to maintain the full aromatic experience.
