Where to buy

The name of the house was chosen somewhat by chance, because Armand Petitjean wanted a French-sounding name that would rhyme with “Place Vendôme”… Today, the house is credited with great perfumes that have become cult classics, such as La vie est Belle, Magnifique, Trésor, and Magie Noire. In 2005, the house unveiled Hypnose. This spellbinding fragrance marks the house's 50th perfume… A rather bewitching anniversary!

Hypnose, a bewitching pleasure

As its name suggests, Hypnose is a spellbinding fragrance; it fascinates and attracts without limits. Hypnose was imagined to make a woman even more sensual than she already is, thereby increasing her power of seduction. No one will resist Hypnose, as this fragrance combines a captivating presence with an almost feline charm, but above all a very tempting one. The Hypnose woman is irresistible, attractive. She loves to seduce and hold power over men. A simple glance and she transforms into an enigmatic yet utterly attractive carnal game. Hypnose amplifies these powers of seduction and magnetism. Hypnose is a secret weapon that will take you down other paths… It is up to you to follow it.

The oriental and sun-kissed notes of Hypnose

To achieve this particular attraction of Hypnose, the composition features an unprecedented accord of vanilla and vetiver. Hypnose opens with the invigorating and airy notes of bergamot. These combine with notes of passion fruit and heliotrope. The heart is composed of Sambac jasmine and sun-kissed notes. The vetiver in the base note brings a robust, but above all unexpected, character, as it is an ingredient usually found in men's fragrances. The vanilla then contrasts with the vetiver notes, offering a soft and sensual dimension. As for the bottle, it is rather original. The nectar is presented in a pure, understated, yet complex setting. With a fascinating, avant-garde look, the bottle is in fact a tribute to the perfume Magie, released in 1950. Its bottle was inspired by the silhouette of a Japanese woman. Too complicated for the time, the Magie bottle could not be kept as originally planned. Today, the Hypnose bottle, now a feminine jewel, is in fact a true architectural challenge.

A bottle at the height of luxury, where sensual curves dance with light. A nectar of a composition made of contrasts. More than bewitching, the Hypnose fragrance is a sensational and wildly seductive story.

Olfastory’s review

Lancôme Hypnose, an unprecedented fragrant composition. After Trésor, the Lancôme house chose to celebrate its seventieth anniversary by offering the magnificent and highly original Hypnôse. For Hypnose, the venerable house asked two great talented perfumers, Annick Menardo and Thierry Wasser, to create a composition built around burning oriental notes, without forgetting the delicate emblematic flowers found in every Lancôme fragrance. Hypnose has thus been casting its timeless spell for a long time.
