Perfumery antidepressant
It should be a new summer scent. Maybe something citrusy that gives freshness even on hot days. Soon I came across a perfume that seemed to me to be extremely suitable in this sense: O de l'Orangerie by Lancome. It's described as citric-fresh. I imagined the scent to be quite wonderful - like a walk through a grove full of ripe, juicy oranges, grapefruit, mandarins and lemons that exude their delicious scents ...
I enter the perfumery expectantly. Yeah, there they are, the Lancomes. I've known O de Lancome for many years. It is already several times bought back regular guest in my collection. Right next to it: O de l'Orangerie. I spray it on my hand - and I'm disappointed. No fresh citrus scent blows around me, as expected, but a true Neroli orgy. Somehow the bittersweet orange blossoms and I have never been quite compatible. I'll make another attempt with O d'Azur. It's an aquatic scent. Not what I had in mind.
Out of pure curiosity I also try O oui!, because the tester is just standing around so inviting. Then I leave the perfumery, still sniffing at the three scents sprayed on and perhaps hoping that the O de l'Orangerie might turn into a fresh citrus scent after all. But it doesn't. Okay. (laughs) Check.
While O de l'Orangerie and O d'Azur do not meet my expectations at all, I find the O oui! more and more interesting. I have to sniff it all the time. Unlike the other O's, it lasts longer too. Someday I'll think, "Oh, yeah." The scent has something. Something new, original, fascinating.
Is it fruity or flowery now? It's hard to decide. At first it appears dry without being powdery and pleasantly "unsweet". This ensures a refined freshness that is not limited to the mere aroma of lemon peel.
What I soon notice is that the fragrance brings a smile to my face as often as I notice it. He is described as sparkling, dynamic, cheerful and optimistic. That seems to be true. And perhaps precisely because I myself am about the opposite of everything that is attributed to this fragrance, it does me good. I find it encouraging and mood-enhancing. This eau de toilette spray should be available on prescription at the pharmacy, I think.
Lancome describes the fragrance not without reason as follows: "O Oui captures the optimistic spirit of youth with a fresh fragrance that awakens a positive, enthusiastic and youthful attitude towards life Oh, yes, I can confirm that. With O Oui! I immediately feel "more awake", even in the current heat that has been over Vienna for days. The scent gives you momentum. He has something transparent, light, light-hearted, without being everyday. It is discreet, but unmistakable. And lives from its unusual composition of fruits and flowers.
In the beginning the fruits clearly dominate. The composition is quite unusual: pineapple, mandarin and pear are in the top note a rendezvous. Crazy, somehow, it seems to me: a crazy, sparkling summer cocktail, whose spots on the i also form aquatic notes. Totally chaotic. But it's working. The purest serenity that spreads to the wearer.
After some time, graceful floral notes join the fruit mixture. My beloved lily of the valley have their appearance and the romantic peony. But the fragrance is never sweet, nostalgic or dreamy. He remains cheerful, playful, light and fresh.
At first I was a little disappointed by Sillage and durability. I would have liked to have seen more intensity. But it doesn't go with this lively fragrance. It is a light summer fragrance, an EdT spray that never wants to be intrusive, but rather sets fresh accents that last.
Perfumer Harry Frémont is here a very "contemporary", I would even say urban fragrance successful. Fruity notes, white flowers and aquatic nuances - that would have offered enough traps to fail. It takes a very safe nose to make a really remarkable, special fragrance out of it that simply convinces.
In the base note there is musk, which provides a sweet finish - a farewell kiss, so to speak, but which actually only prolongs and deepens the crispy fresh scent cocktail.
For me, the fragrance is an ideal summer fragrance, which accompanies me through my everyday life in a lively way.
The bottle holds 75 ml. There's, as far as I know, only this one size. I think it's perfect for the purse, to spray on. In terms of design, the bottle and packaging appear simple and simple, but strong in design and noble.
The fragrance has now been on the market for 20 years, but has lost none of its unbridled liveliness and youthful joie de vivre. If that's not a sign of quality?!
O oui!
"Say yes to the sparkling spirit of youth," advises Lancome. There's nothing left to add to that...?
