My sister bought me this Eau de Parfum for my birthday many years ago and I have always liked it, re-purchasing when in runs low. I have the 100ml bottle, which currently retails at around £68 on the Amazon website (April 2012).

Lancome launched the fragrance in 2003 and it was developed by Daniela Roche-Andrier and Christain Biecher. The Eau de Parfum is described as having a floral-woody harmony built on the notes of iris and patchouli. Iris is one of the most expensive ingredients in the world of perfumery. It is housed in a slightly gold luminous round bottle with a golden cap. Top notes include gardenia, neroli, and ylang-ylang. At its heart the notes of iris, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberouse and Bulgarin rose make a perfect floral bouquet. The base is made of cedar, patchouli, vanilla, musk and amber.

I use this as both a day and evening scent, though tend to favour the evening as I find it is a sophisticated scent. It is quite a heavy scent, so a little goes a long way and I find that it has quite good staying power, lasting most of the day or night. It is a fairly mature scent, I would say that is not really aimed at those under 30, but I suppose it really depends upon what you like and how it smells on your skin.

The spray dispenser is easy to use and gives an even spray, without any clogging issues and the dispensing tube reaches the bottom of the bottle so there is not any wastage of the product. A 100ml bottle tends to last me around 10 months and I use it probably 2-3 times per week, so although it is expensive it lasst a long time.

Overall I would recommend this product to others as it has a strong woody, yet floral scent that makes you feel like you are wearing a quaility Eau de Parfum.
