Ô Zenith: the identity card of the fresh water that touches the azure sky The return of Le Monde des Ô, 2025 version Since 1969, the refreshing Ô waters by Lancôme have invited escape into summer. In May 2025, the house launches a new triptych called Le Monde des Ô (Ôff Now, Ôver the Top and Ô Zenith) to boost the emotions of millennials in search of positivity.

Inspiration & storytelling
“Touching the zenith”: a shot of optimism
Ô Zenith draws its idea from the notion of peak moment: the precise instant when the sun reaches its maximum height and plunges everything into white light. Lancôme describes this water as a “mood lift” scientifically measured through the oxytocin released by the jasmine native to its Domaine de Grasse.
Domaine de la Rose as the garden of origin
The house grows its jasmine and citrus in its own fields near Grasse, guaranteeing traceability and controlled carbon impact. The osmosis water used for dilution is 80% recycled.
Olfactory signature in brief
• Opening: a sparkling bergamot, granita-style, awakens the senses.
• Heart: jasmine absolute radiates, caressed by a bouquet of white flowers.
• Base: a sand-coconut monoi accord paired with a clean musk for longevity.
Bottle & visual world
The iconic pebble bottle of the Ô de Lancôme line is extended with a slender neck; its gradient turquoise glass evokes the sea at noon. The lacquered white cap reflects UV rays like a beach parasol. A silver band engraved with “Ô” recalls the solar curve of the logo.
Target audience & moments of use
Intended for 20-35 year olds who are gender-fluid and want a “fresh floral” that is not chypre, Ô Zenith is worn:
• Upon waking to extend the energy of a cool shower.
• At the beach, where the monoi converses with sunscreen.
• On summer evenings, where the jasmine warms up and becomes skin-to-skin.

The advertising
Advertising: “#LiftYourMood”, the wave of optimism from Lancôme
Directed by Damien Chazelle, filmed in the Calanques
Launched on May 12, 2025, the one-minute spot follows actress Emma Mackey diving from an azure pontoon; the camera undulates underwater, then shoots upward to symbolize the rise toward the zenith. The narrative follows the collection’s brief: a burst of light that propels the mood to its peak.
Three-part structure — Beach / Zenith / Skin
• Beach: in a low shot, Mackey catches a turquoise pebble recalling the bottle, a nod to the granita bergamot note.
• Zenith: an ascending tracking shot; the light turns white, evoking the jasmine-tiare heart.
• Skin: a close-up; water droplets trickle down, leaving the monoi-musk trace on the skin.
