With the Hypnose fragrance, let yourself be bewitched. The Lancôme house was born, in 1935, from the sole will of one man, Armand Petitjean. He was determined to create products of great quality to enhance and glorify women.
Released in 2012, Hypnose is a rather enigmatic fragrance. Hypnose fascinates, irresistibly attracts. The woman who wears Hypnose is a captivating and mysterious woman. She is also very seductive. The Hypnose woman captivates those around her and astonishes with her extraordinary charisma. This presence gives her an almost feline charm, incredibly unsettling. Signed by Thierry Wasser and Annick Ménardo, Hypnose draws you into a whirlwind of almost unprecedented emotions.
A talented duo of perfumers behind Hypnose
To create this captivating fragrance, Lancôme chose two of the most talented perfumers, namely Thierry Wasser and Annick Ménardo. Thierry Wasser was born in Switzerland in 1961. He developed a passion for scents at a very young age and joined Givaudan in 1981. Today, Thierry Wasser excels in his passion.

Hypnose, luminous and sun-kissed fragrant notes
It should be noted that Hypnose is the 50th perfume from the Lancôme house. This is why the house chose a fascinating perfume to celebrate this anniversary. Hypnose opens with the airy notes of bergamot combined with passion fruit flower. Also called “Passiflora,” the passion flower is a climbing plant native to South America. The passion flower is considered a lush plant with over 400 species. Native Americans used the flowers to treat wounds and bruises. Its juice, in turn, treated eye problems. Passiflora is known today for its soothing and relaxing effect. In perfumery, the passion flower gives off tonalities that are at once fruity, floral, and exotic. The heart of Hypnose is laden with jasmine, a luminous ingredient par excellence, which is also combined with sun-kissed touches. Finally, the base of Hypnose is a perfect accord of vanilla and vetiver for a base that is both intense and intimate. The bottle is luxurious, its curves and facets dancing with light.
A magnificent reinterpretation of the perfume Magie, created in 1950, with breathtaking femininity. At once mysterious, enigmatic, and attractive, the Hypnose woman is truly seductive. The composition, signed by Thierry Wasser and Annick Ménardo, is as sensual as it is sun-kissed.
