The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Lancôme Ô de l'Orangerie opens with Orange Blossom, Neroli and Bergamot — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Orange and Jasmine. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Cedar, Benzoin and Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, White Floral, Fresh, Green — easy to place and easy to wear.
