Is Hypnôse Senses still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued for several years. It can sometimes be found through secondary market sellers or specialty perfume discounters, but it is no longer part of the current Lancôme lineup.
How does this differ from the original Hypnôse Eau de Parfum?+−
While the original is famous for its heavy vanilla and passionflower punch, Hypnôse Senses is more of a "chypre light." It replaces the tropical sweetness with honey, osmanthus, and a patchouli-resin base, resulting in a more earthy, powdery, and skin-like aroma rather than a gourmand one.
Is this a good choice for hot weather?+−
It performs exceptionally well in the spring and summer. Because the sweetness comes from honey and osmanthus rather than thick syrups, it retains an airy quality that doesn't become cloying in the heat, though the resinous base makes it equally suitable for cooler autumn days.
What is the lasting power like?+−
True to the Lancôme reputation, several users find it lasts quite a long time on the skin. While it doesn't project across a room, you can expect to still smell the warm tonka and benzoin notes on your skin and clothes several hours after application.
