O Oui!

I absolutely adore this fragrance, must say that Lancome did hit the bull's eye with it :) It has a complex and multilayered texture which makes O Oui so unique and interesting; you can wear it to office as well as to night club and everything in between. It has an amazing quality in what comes to staying power and even though I wore O Oui a lot in the latest years, I never ever grew tired of it unlike many other fragrances. It simply is so fresh, flowery and lovely like nothing else, and makes me feel very feminine, joyful and confident. That's why I recently just could not resist the temptation to buy a brand new bottle of this little masterpiece to replace the old finished one. Missed it way too much, so I had to have my beloved one back!

I've got a bottle of perfectly smelling beauty. I had it in 1990 - I do not really understand why fragrantica says it was issued in 1999. It was my first year in the Uni and I won this perfume in the lottery in our uni group. Everyone was complimenting it almost every single time I wore it. And I still appreciate it now after so many bottles of other perfumes I went through. Unusual fresh scent, with fantastic longevity and projection.

I bought the original formulation back in the early 2000s. It was bright and perfect for warm weather. I remember they would sell it in sets at the time and it even came with a body wash and a lotion. I bought a bottle in 2010 and it just didn’t smell quite the same. I no longer have that bottle, so I can’t look at batch codes. I’m longing for the original formulation.

Mouthwatering, juicy, fresh, young, perfect summer fragrance. I smelled it on a fellow student in college in early 2000s and had to ask her what she was wearing. Soon, O Oui! was mine, and I used it really fast. I have not repurchased because I moved on to heavier scents, but I think it's a safe blind buy if you enjoy fresh, aquatic fragrances.

This was my signature scent back in the early 2000’s as it was fresh, clean, had that citrus throughout that I adore so much, yet had that unique hyacinth note that I was always complimented on. A fresh fragrance that can be worn by men or women, of any age.

It's like an angel's smell... Refreshing, young, girly and simply lovely, however I would love that it lasted longer, at the middle of the day you can not smell it anymore. One of my favourite ones. I'm about to finish my second bottle.

Vodka, water flowers, apple and pineapple. The scent of a fresh summer drink. Smells like sunshine, party and fun. Fresh and sparkling. Moderate longevity and silage. Nice and girly fun loving perfume. I like you OUI

I had this back in the day! I miss it so much. I dont know if its out of stock, but I havent seen it in stores in denmark for many years. This was my fav when I was teenager :)

Fresh, safe & peaceful. Long lasting. The base note is fantastic.This reminds me my mother. Doesn't mean this is for old ladies. It's because of peace.

This scent is me. From the first time i bought it , until now its still my fav scent. Its fresh , light ..well it smell really nice on me.. love it.

Magnolia, freesia, petitgrain, and pear surrounding waterlily. A little creamy. Smells pale pink. Love it.

I love to add a oui to me fragrance collection!I really love it.I'm gonna buy it as soon as possible.

It is a lovely fragrance, playful and delicious. One of my all-time favourites!

2020 and I am back to it. Had forgotten how wondwerful it is.

Back in 1969 Lancôme decided that the world was not as blithesome a place as it should be. Thus it created Ô and surfeited the air around us with squadron over squadron of tarty citruses. However, these were simply fighters escorting heavy bombers with fancy names like "Vetiver Raider", "Rosemary Bandit", "Coriander Brigand"and "Oakmoss Corsair" painted beneath their cockpits. But this fleet of notes acted rather as a distraction than destruction. What Lancôme actually launched was a neologism the likes of "heterogeneity". You see, I have yet to decide whether its vintage formulation is frolicsome or sexy as hell. Perhaps it's both. Perhaps Ô could replace its uncircumflexed [sic] cousin in "Histoire d'O". Some 30 years later Lancôme thought it was time to upgrade its fleet of bliss. Thus it created an even more buoyant and feelgood fragrance, although such an endeavour seemed nigh impossible. The newcomer managed to leave all lurking bawdiness behind and set brand new felicity standards. And how could it be any different when an exclamatory enthusiastic affirmation in French is its answer to every question asked, no matter in what language? Sind Sie der ewige glückselig Königin? Ô Oui! Will you marry me, oh my bonnie lass? Ô Oui! Θα μ'αγαπάς για πάντα ηλιαχτίδα μου; Ô Oui! Могу ли я остаться в вашем космосе? Ô Oui! Sometimes I think that some fragrances render the presence of a translater completely useless, for I believe that fragrance is actually some sort of wordless communication and a pretty succinct one for that matter. And what's more, it always lands its message, despite not a word being uttered. For your ears can play tricks on you sometimes but your nose is always dead right. I'm sure that all of you have misheard something at some point. Has any of you ever "missmelled" anything? Yeah, I thought so. So, given that Ô Oui! is green as a spring meadow, piquant as an early bergamot and waggish as a drunken sprite, what are the chances for any girl or woman wearing it to be of the lugubrious kind? If your perfume smiles then you smile too, simple as that. As a man of a rather sober mien, I simply love the way it can turn even bleak winter evenings into harbingers of sunny and carefree days, when my only concern would be how not to fall in love too many times. If Ô has been a lascivious frolicker and/or a rollicking lover, then Ô Oui! is a rôllicking frôlicker, never saying no to anything even vaguely reminding of mirth, light and verve. And isn't epitomising the very essence of such things with no words spoken one hell of a feat? Ô Oui!...

At first I was mystified by this fragrance, influenced perhaps by the colorless bottle and the scent’s very lightness and simplicity, as if she meant to blend in with my other fragrance bottles so as to simply disappear. And, I thought she would quickly fade. I was wrong on both counts. The bottle's lightness is understated elegance and the fragrance has not only great lasting power but also a most intriguing sillage: fresh, uplifting and light, but lightness with great strength. My nose picks up more gin than vodka in the opening, perhaps because of the cedar note coming up from the basenote, or perhaps it’s the petit grain. Oui shares several notes with Eau Sauvage: bergamot & citrus in the top, rose in the heart and both amber and musk in the base. Oui has just enough extra floral throughout though, enriched and expanded by the sweetness of pineapple, the snappy crispness of apple and the underlying warmth of its woodsy notes so as to make her distinct and definitely more feminine than Eau Sauvage. But, having said that... When I wear Oui, to myself I smell the way I think men do when they're wearing Eau Sauvage, the way I wish Eau Sauvage smelled on me: attractive, sweet and quietly both confident and strong. Not the swaggering brute strength of a burly heavyweight boxer, no; Oui is instead the silent dragon strength of kung fu masters who do nothing to advertise their power but instead walk in an unassuming way, their fire held inside but ready to burst forth instantly, in the blink of any eye or a single beat of someone’s terrified heart. Say yes to Oui.

Usually, fresh scents do NOT agree with my chemistry. What smells lovely on others often turn into a rancid, disgusting mess on my skin. But this, this works! It's such an uncomplicated scent and I LOVE IT. Yesterday I cleaned the house, changed the bed and sprayed my linens with Etro Heliotrope. After my shower I applied a little French lilac (Pacifica Perfumes). Then, I remembered my O oui tester! It was the perfect scent after cleaning the house, having a shower and hugging a fresh and clean pillow. The effect this perfume has on me is that it makes me feel sexy. Not the naughty-sexy, but the "fresh and clean -right out of the shower- sexy". And it smelled lovely with both the lilac and the heavy heliotrope-vanilla-almond thing happening in my bedroom Like someone already mentioned, this is great for layering! Today I am wearing it with Frankincense & Myrrh (!) and.. yum. Just delicious. This is perfect for someone like me, who could need something to freshen up those heavy, sweet and spicy perfumes when the day calls for it. This is not an interesting perfume, no wow-factor here for me, but then again, that's exactly what I love about it. It is an uncomplicated, unoffensive, fresh scent that I actually like and that works for me. And, my boyfriend loves it. Thank you, Lancome!

Lancome O OUI! is a surprisingly nice fragrance for having been picked up years ago at TJMaxx and subsequently forgotten in the back of my armoire along with a handful of "mistakes were made" purchases. O OUI! happily was not a mistake after all! I wanted to review this fragrance yesterday, and assumed that it would be appropriate for the forecast summer weather. Instead, at 11am when I went to reapply, I seriously feared an imminent bout of nausea, so I refrained. The problem was the weather, though, not the perfume: 92F in the shade, conditions under which no fair review could be written, given my body's relative state of thermal shock... O OUI! is much thicker and more substantial than other so-called aquatic fragrances. The vodka appears to meld on my skin with the musk so as to produce a resinous drydown which I must say is both appealing and unique. I believe that the water lily is contributing as well, but who really knows, given the panoply of notes! O OUI! has great staying power and low sillage, so it could be used comfortably in daytime, people-rich settings. This edt is a pleasure to wear, not like most aquatics, which often make me feel vaguely ill. There are no gross rotting melons or anything of the sort here.

O Oui! by Rose Marie! Energy and elegance in a spray! This is my mini 'by the beach' at home spa scent (mouthfull huh?) :my own very quenching and refreshing waterfall of bright ozonic and aquatic notes . A zesty unvieling like a green casacade of trickling mountain water. ô OUI! is a lime-clementine fresh perfume featuring crisp clear fruit such as nectarine, pineapple, green apple and pear. I salivate before such a morning paradise offactice buffet! The white florals also are crisp. No defunct browning tuberose or wilted white jasmine here. Water hyacinth adds a touch of cool aquatic and the petit grain mixed with bergamot is a different take on 'green' notes. The earthier base of this long lasting yet 'out of the shower fresh' fragrance is where I get the warmth and spice that later makes it a staple in my wardrobe. It evolves constantly from Rose, orange-vodka, pina colada to then turn muskier and as the drydown emerges, I enjoy the warmer woody notes and cedar. A like most of the year, a love come warm days! Medium longevity on me and comes off more as a expensive tangerine French Milled Soap than leaves a decent skin scent that is still very recognisable and unique. Kudos for this understated beauty!

I love how this perfume makes me feel. I feel energetic, confident, strong and yet light and elegant everytime I wear it. Opening is so crisp, clear and sparkling. A blast of green and citrus notes mixing with other fruits such as pineapple, greenapple and nectarine. The vodka note added makes this perfume incredibly uplifting. But it gets better, the mouthwatering opening starts to mellow down and here comes the floral part. While water hyacinth adds aquatic character, honeysuckle makes it still sweet. The scent evolves like breathing in and out by changing constantly from fruity (I smeel peach-vodka, pinacolada) to floral (white flowers, water hyacinth, fresia). Everthing is fresh in this perfume. The scent has definitely captured the morning freshness of all the floral notes. But the drydown is the best. Warm woody notes with musk and cedar, makes it elegant. O Oui is like a journey on the skin it changes, evolves, makes peaks and dips. It has a great depth which makes this perfume very interesting. It is fresh, uplifting and light. But this lightness is very confident and strong. Very good choice to wear in office and meeting days.
