Advantages: Good value for money as lasts ages

Disadvantages: Strong when first applied but gets more subtle, expensive to purchase

I wasn't really looking for a new perfume when I came across Lancome Hypnose For Women in the Avon book that was delivered a while back. This perfume was the 50th fragrance created from the House of Lancome.

I rubbed my wrist across the scented page as instructed to create the perfumed smell. I liked the smell, not too strong, but strong enough to last throughout the day without wearing off. As such it is perfect for day wear or evening wear. With its understated tones of vanilla, slightly musky, it is a perfect perfume to wear at any time of the day and for any occasion. When you first spray it on it does come across quite strong, but it soon settles to a fragant vanilla which is far more subtle.

So I ordered it as it was on offer for £12 a bottle instead of the usual £30.00 for a 30ml bottle, or £44.00 for a 50ml bottle from the stockist Perfume4U. It is rather expensive but it does last a long time as you only need a small spray at a time.

The bottle itself is very attractive - a lovely glass bottle which is ergonomically designed to fit nicely into the hand as you're spraying it, and it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The twisted glass design glistens in the light which makes it look lovely and eyecatching as it sits on my dressing table.

Summary: A perfume that lasts a long time, but no good if you don't like vanilla!
