Launched in 1971 by Lancôme and crafted by perfumer Robert Gonnon, Sikkim is a complex Oriental Floral that evokes the earthy, mossy depths of an uncharted wilderness. The fragrance opens with aldehydes and galbanum, creating a crisp, aromatic freshness that gives way to a heart of gardenia, jasmine, and carnation. These florals are grounded by a rich base of oakmoss, leather, vetiver, and patchouli, adding layers of warmth and depth. Sikkim is not just a scent; it’s an immersive journey into the lush greenery and woody undercurrents that define its character.

Application Tips
Sikkim's aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure that the heart and base notes have time to develop. The fragrance is best worn during cooler weather or indoors where its earthy warmth can be fully appreciated.
