Hypnôse Senses (2009)
by Lancôme

Lancome Hypnose Senses EDP

Notes: Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper, Osmanthus Blossom, Rose, Honey, Patchouli,, Rockrose, Benzoin, Tonka Bean (from osmoz.com)

Hypnose Senses bears only one familiar mark from its namesake Hypnose--VANILLA. Lots and lots of vanilla with roses, powder, generic woody notes and musk. At first, there is a nice balance between flower, fruit and the ever-present vanilla. The fragrance starts very soft and boneless, not trending in any particular direction. Soon, almost all of the distinctive notes have faded to imperceptible levels as Hypnose Senses becomes yet another powder-vanilla-amber-musk. The nod to Shalimar is quite evident. For that alone, HS is not terrible, however, with so many powdery vanilla fragrances to choose from, why settle? Try some Guerlain instead.

Tried this at the Lancome boutique in Dallas what I think Lancome is trying to do is redo Tresor
I must say upfront why I do not love Hypnose Senses, it is much better then the original, where
the original was a bland laffy taffy fruity mix, this go around they at least smoothed out the mixture
with the same candy coated rose that they had in the 90's department store hit Tresor
