In 2009, LANCÔME celebrated forty years of its most famous feminine eau by creating a new tale of freshness. And so Ô D’AZUR was born, a sensorial fresh eau, as refreshing as ever, but also deliciously sensual. A burst of lemon essence and a dash of pink pepper to dazzle the senses, enhanced by a playful hint of damask rose with luxuriant musk and ambrette seed base notes... Ô D’AZUR is the tale of a late Summer’s afternoon on the French riviera, as the heat of the day fades and the air becomes deliciously cool. In 2011 the tale continues... the latest Ô chapter is written, with the creation of Ô DE L’ORANGERIE: a light, zesty, orange blossom absolute caress that dances across skin as delicately as a light mist. LANCÔME’s most recent tale of tantalising freshness.
A stroll under the shade of the Orange Blossom trees
The Orangery… a timeless place, a unique garden full of elegance and refinement. A moment suspended in time, lulled by the smooth, exquisite notes of a French orangery’s beautiful orange blossom vista. Ô DE L’ORANGERIE recounts the tale of a gentle stroll along these paths on a beautiful Summer’s day, moving through the dappled sunlight. As the day becomes cooler a light breeze runs through the trees, delicately perfuming the air with an echo of the blossoms’ scent. Ô DE L’ORANGERIE is a dream, an emotion, a subtle, fresh eau, in which every facet is expressed with intensity and serenity.
A modern-day tribute to fresh orange blossom, Ô DE L’ORANGERIE allows the abundant nuances of this unique note to speak for themselves. At times fresh and velvety, at others intense and delicate, this mysterious flower emerges in all its glory under the auspices of the two revered perfumers, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion.
“We wanted to create a unique orange blossom that offers magnificent facets. When combined with the most beautiful zests, aquatic tones and vibrant woody accents, it takes on a whole new dimension”, described Anne Flipo.
“We had in mind the idea of fresh and dazzling femininity”, adds dominique ropion, “and we dreamed of a sophisticated fragrance that celebrates this mythical perfumery flower whilst allowing it to unveil itself modestly and majestically.”
Orange blossom’s full audacity is expressed in Ô DE L’ORANGERIE thanks to its two precious ingredients; fresh and crisp orange flower essence and orange blossom absolute with smooth, honey-sweet accents. a multitude of sensations develop around these rich and precious notes; the effervescent flavor of bergamot and orange zest gives way to the freshness of a crystalline aquatic chord, rounded off by the softness of jasmine petals. Finally, the vibrancy of wood and smoothness of benzoin heighten the voluptuousness of this incomparable orange blossom. LANCÔME creates Ô DE L’ORANGERIE, an orange blossom brimming with Ô that brings out its radiant, fresh and petal-like facets.
A signature bottle
Ô DE L’ORANGERIE, the youngest in the family, features in the bottle reinvented in 2009 by Fabien Baron to celebrate Ô de LANCÔME’s 40th birthday; a contemporary and refined reinterpretation of the previous bottle, still engraved with the spirals from the original design, inspired by water’s undulating waves.
The transparent glass leaves the unique shade of Ô DE L’ORANGERIE’s elixir free to shine through; an aqua green as tender as the heart of an orange blossom flower.
