10 most bought fragrances in France (part 2)
1. Ô de Lancôme (Lancôme)
In contrast to the floral-vanilla perfume brothers in the Lancôme family, this fragrance, released in 1969, is for a big fan. It is a perfume with a pronounced sourness thanks to the accords of lemon, bergamot and tangerine, which are powdered with oak ear, vetiver, rosemary, basil and coriander. And for more than 50 years, French women have been buying it!
2. Si (Giorgio Armani)
Si from the cult Italian brand Giorgio Armani was released in 2013 and over the past 7 years it has won the hearts of fans of soft vanilla perfumery. Here vanilla is mixed with black currant leaves, patchouli, rose and freesia, and the composition ends with woody notes and ambroxan.
3. La Petite robe noire (Guerlain)
The little black dress was invented and glorified by Coco Chanel, and Guerlain in 2012 released a perfume embodiment of this fashionable legend. The original aroma plays with notes of cherry, almond, red berries, licorice, vanilla, anise, rose, patchouli, as well as rice, Thai rose and bergamot.
