Ô de Lancôme

Lancôme launched Ô de Lancôme in 1969, an Eau de Toilette composed by Robert Gonnon. Lemon, bergamot, and mandarin meet jasmine, honeysuckle, and an aromatic trio of basil, rosemary, and coriander, over a base of oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver, in a faceted bottle that reveals a water-green liquid.

Lancôme launched Ô de Lancôme in 1969, an Eau de Toilette composed by Robert Gonnon. Today the house presents it as a fragrance inspired by nature and its simplest pleasures, meant to embody lightness and joie de vivre, fresh, spontaneous, and natural.

Robin, on Now Smell This, counted it in 2005 among the classic eaux fraîches and noted that it was reformulated in 1994. She classified it among fresh citrus chypres, alongside Eau de Guerlain and Chanel’s Cristalle.

A world of Ô

Lancôme has built a whole world of Ô around it. Now Smell This mentions an Ô pour Homme launched in 1996 and since discontinued, and the house now extends the line with Ô d’Azur, Ô de l’Orangerie, or Ô Oui!, all marked with the same circle on the bottle.

For the launch of Ô d’Azur, Lancôme relaunched Ô de Lancôme in a bottle redesigned by Fabien Baron, leaving the formula untouched, and claimed it as the first fresh fragrance for women, according to The Moodie Davitt Report.

What critics say

In 2005, Robin, on Now Smell This, found it a well-made citrus chypre, but less lively than Eau de Guerlain or Cristalle; in 2020, Nicoleta Tomsa, on ÇaFleureBon, made it her green shield against the heat wave, while preferring the older formula.
