Absolue Le Parfum

My partner got this perfume for me, as well as "6am Rose" in the same line, as he is particularly fond of rose scents. Of the two this is my favorite. It is a simple and straightforward rose fragrance that sits relatively close to the skin but has very good longevity. The tea note provides interest to the fragrance, and I'm able to smell the note for most of the fragrance's wear, which for me lasts roughly 9-10hours. Since the fragrance sits close to the skin (you can smell it for the first 5 hours at about a foot away for me) it's a great choice for an office setting. I can also see it as a great signiture scent for someone year round. I primarily wear it during the day time, but its good longevity means I sometimes wear it in tge evening, and I find it a calming bedtime perfume on occasion as well. Overall, one of my favorite recent fragrances.

What a beautifully luxurious scent. Soft white rose with a delicate hint of jasmine, wrapped in a creamy, skin like softness. It reminds me of freshly showered skin after using an expensive soap and a rich body cream. Glowing, velvety, and perfectly moisturised. The fragrance feels intimate and personal rather than attention seeking. It isn’t a “look at me” fragrance, instead it feels calm, composed, and effortlessly sophisticated. Definitely signature scent worthy, and a huge compliment getter Longevity is 6+ hours on my skin, with a projection of about an arm’s length, perfectly matching the understated luxury of the scent. My only downside is the bottle design. While it feels substantial and heavy, I still miss the older Maison Lancôme bottles with their elegant magnetic caps, which felt far more luxurious to me.

This perfume smells just like the Lancôme Absolue cream to me, albeit, slightly more citrusy than the scent of that face cream. I get some of the white tea and especially the musk as well, but I can't smell any of the jasmine in the notes of this fragrance. It has a lovely luxe spa-like quality to it. Lancôme Le Parfum is a very feminine, youthful and light smelling fragrance and definitely a very naturalistic rose scent. I feel that a spring or summer day would be the perfect time to wear this gem and I don't think that it could offend anyone, to be honest. I get moderate sillage from Lancôme's Le Parfum and a wear time of about 8 hours on my skin. I love the bottle this scent comes in too and I find it very beautiful, chic, sleek and luxe looking. I'd personally give this fragrance an 8.5/10 altogether.

This perfume reminds me of Chrome Azzaro. it feels like its feminine counterpart. It’s an incredibly beautiful fragrance that stands out with its originality among women’s perfumes. Some scents are so universal that you can’t imagine anyone disliking them. This one is exactly like that— even if someone wouldn’t wear it themselves, they would still admire its scent. I first noticed the resemblance to Chrome Azzaro when I tried it in the store, and after checking the notes on Fragrantica , I saw that they are indeed quite similar, though not identical. There are subtle yet beautiful differences between them. In short, it’s an outstanding perfume. Thank you, Lancôme, for introducing such a wonderful fragrance.😍

To me it's a ROSE perfume - to the point that it almost gives me a headache. I also detect the musk and a shadow of white tea. Alltogether, the result is a sensation of peacefull, mature luxury. It somehow reminds me of my first expensive face cream I used 25 years ago, but it was not Lancome, I'm sure. It was Galenic. It's a perfume of understated (yet overwhealming) feminine elegance. The drydown is very masculine, on the other hand...
