The story behind the bottle.
Sikkim Parfum, launched by Lancôme in 1971 and crafted by perfumer Robert Gonnon, is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of nature with its complex blend of aromatic, earthy, and woody notes. The opening notes of galbanum and aldehydes create an invigorating freshness, while gardenia and rose add a touch of floral elegance. As it evolves, oakmoss and leather provide a rich, mossy depth, grounded by the warm undertones of amber and patchouli.
Apply Sikkim Parfum to pulse points for a lasting effect. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best to allow it to develop on your skin before reapplying if needed. It pairs well with cooler weather but can also be worn year-round due to its balanced notes.
