Hypnôse Homme (2007)
by Lancôme

The opening is a rather attractive citrus / herbal accord – very much like the openings of countless other modern designer fragrances. It is quite nicely done except that it is unimaginative and common, From the opening, the fragrance goes nowhere. A major problem with Hypnôse is that it doesn’t move. The sharp lavender from the top follows through to the base – and about the only thing that happens is that the lavender grows a little weaker and less sharp and the sweet, generic amber / vanilla from the base comes on stronger. Yawn. It has good sillage, and it has good longevity. Performance wise, Hypnôse Homme is a pretty good fragrance, but it’s structure and notes are so uninspired.

Lavender overwhelms! Not my cup of tea at all, but it does have a cool bottle.

It is a nice fragrance that reminds me of LeMale alhtougg it is a bit sweeter.
Good to wear everyday and I also got some compliments wearing this.
I could be a bit fresher from the start but it makes up for it by staying on my skin quite long.
The only thing I dont like is the twisted bottle. I think it looks feminin and is not an eyecatcher in the bathroom.
If you like sweet, long lasting scents, give it a try!

Hypnose Homme is a pleasantly sweet oriental scent that wears well in warm weather; although in hot and humid conditions it could be cloying.

The topnotes blend well, no one note overpowers the others. On my skin the lavender carries through to the drydown where it is joined by sweet amber and wood notes. Hypnose Homme is long lasting (7-8hours) and has good sillage. Overall this is a good fragrance that is better than many of the mass market designer fragrances.

Every time I go into my favorite department store and there's a new SA who hasn't seen me before greets me, they always, almost always try to push this stuff on me. I never liked it at first sniff and I still don't. I smell it every time and I try to get something out of it. I'm sorry but it smells like one of my other favorites but lighter and Hypnose is more expensive: Paul Smith Extreme. There's nothing special, inticing or great about this. Just a bland scent to get as a gift for people that work in offices.

I tried this recently whilst in Thailand - it did not dissapoint. Lasts a long time on my skin, which I love.
