Composition

Ô Oui!

Ô Oui! is a floral eau de toilette by Lancôme, launched in 1999 and composed by Harry Frémont. The house sees it as a reinterpretation of Ô de Lancôme, its fresh eau from 1969, designed for a spontaneous youth, that of the year 2000. A clementine and hedione accord, touched with vodka, opens onto apples, pears and pineapple; water lily and frosted musks make up the base.

For Lancôme, Ô Oui! belongs to the fresh florals: a pure, transparent juice that pairs the sparkle of crisp fruits with the softness of white flowers. The house divides its composition into three tiers; Osmoz publishes another reading of it, more floral at its heart.

Top

The house opens on a sparkling, intense freshness: an accord of clementine and hedione, a synthetic molecule with facets of transparent jasmine, which it describes as splashed with a touch of vodka. Osmoz evokes a spontaneous opening of citrus, apple, pear and pineapple.

Heart

For Lancôme, the heart is a cocktail of crisp, vitamin-packed fruits, apples, pears and pineapple, refreshed by a shower of white flower petals. Osmoz places these fruits in the top and composes the heart of rose, lily of the valley, freesia and water lily.

Base

The base, which the house calls all femininity, pairs water lily with frosted musks, which it compares to a scent of pure air. Osmoz describes a nuance of vodka over a transparent floral note of water lily, carried by white musks, amber and a touch of cedar.

What stays out

Longer lists, including Wikiparfum’s, add nectarine, bergamot, water hyacinth, honeysuckle or woody notes. Lancôme does not name them in its description, which sticks to citrus, fruits, white flowers, water lily and musks.
