Old School Aldehydic Floral Green Oakmoss Chypre

Yes, that's a mouthful, and CLIMAT, from the Lancôme La Collection reissue of a series of the house's classic perfumes, is a noseful! Oak moss may not be listed in the official hierarchy of notes, but it is patently present and explicitly named among the ingredients on the box: evernia prunastri. That's right, not evernia furfuracea, so oak moss lovers lamenting the substitution of furfurfacea for prunastri said to be necessitated for compliance with IFRA restrictions should definitely consider seeking out the coffret of four of these .5 ounce perfumes in beautiful bottles and a lovely white box display.

Wearing CLIMAT is like taking a trip back to a time when popular perfumes did not fall into the category of either sweet patchouli or sweet laundry or shampoo scents. CLIMAT is a complex and thoroughly composed perfume. The aldehydes are just as bright as the oak moss is gray and fuzzy. Adding to the complexity, a bountiful floral bouquet lies at the heart of the composition, and everything is held together for a very long time with a substantial base. Because of the aldehydes, CLIMAT manages not to feel too weighted down, but it is still densely grayish green. The drydown becomes slightly soapy, also a classic touch.

I've seen reviewers compare this perfume to Amouage DIA and GOLD, but really CLIMAT is much more of a floral green chypre than it is a floral aldehyde perfume. It's strictly classic and means business. Only adult perfume users need apply! Wearing this beautiful creation every now and then is a great way to connect with perfumery as it was once done, before the advent of mass launches and minimalism. This perfume was not composed in a week.

Purity, Antiquity, Rarity In Today's World

Old-time aldehydes tinged with smokey soapiness open Climat. This is not a "today" perfume or a "foodie" fragrance, this is a mature perfume, an experience into perfumery on how it used to be done. Some very old, quite vintage Avon perfumes from their beginnings have this opening, such as Moonwind in the original packaging of the tall blue glass cylinder.
Civet and wood are strong also, while it lasts. Head out to a used book store in some vintage garb wearing Climat on a Saturday afternoon and you'll feel at ease with your world. This is a choice of an adult perfumista who has tried a world of perfumes, one who has stepped amongst the florals, the chypres, the gourmands, the woods and so many others. Climat is for one who understands vintages in their purity. But also appreciates them for what they bring to their lives.
This is a combination of aldehyes, civet, woods, vetiver, florals, mosses, powders and others that blend together in such an old-fashioned manner that it is a perfume that should be experienced. Spraying it on creates such a perfume aura, almost one of antiquity, one that is unspoken of in these fruty-floral days.
Is it old-fashioned? Or is it a perfume for the mature nose? In doing a comparison of Moonwind, I found that vintage Moonwind and Climat(La Collection Fragrances by Lancome) were very difficult to tell apart. The smokiness of Climat, the vetiver and the soapiness lingers throughout in such a classic well-mixed manner. For me, this composition sadly fades quickly. Two hours later, it was gone. But the experience was not, and that I appreciated.
This is a perfume I would pull out infrequently. When I am tired of everything else, and I seek something that reminds me of ball gowns, my college sorority formals, of dancing under the moonlit sky I'll think of reaching for Climat. It's sophisticated. It's mature. It's elegant. It's a completely different experience.

Capable of creating a special atmosphere

When I brought the bottle to my nose, I felt shades of rose and jasmine, but they were elusive to me. When I applied the scent to my hand, I smelled lily of the valley, jasmine, violet, rose, peach and bergamot. The aroma begins with soft floral and fruity notes with the addition of citrus sourness. The middle reveals aldehydes, rosemary and tuberose. The aroma becomes fresh, with notes of wax, subtle pine and not much sweetness. At the end, musk, sandalwood, bamboo and vetiver begin to smell. The scent ends on woody herbal notes with characteristic bamboo and smoky undertones.

the smile of early summer

It's gray outside, gray and damp, although not particularly cold. But hats and gloves are already in season.
November clearly shows that it rules now; the "golden" October days are over and the mood is sinking accordingly.
It's the time for gemstone lanterns, which are lit in the early afternoon.
They provide a little warmth, illuminating the living room with their gentle flickering.

Next to me is a pretty clear glass miniature, which has not yet been sorted into the new, large case, but whose contents have already delighted me:
"Climat" by Lancôme.
A fragrance from the end of the sixties, a different era, but with a timeless, charming cheerfulness that survives all trends.
Because here summer announces itself with flowers and fragrances.
Daffodils with white, yellow and yellow-white heads and little bells are still swaying in the already warm wind, they don't want to retreat yet.
Violets enjoy the radiating warmth of the walls that have already been sunlit for a few hours and cheerful lilies of the valley on their long panicles shine white from their dark green leaf rosettes: Winter is over, it packed its bags a while ago; but now everyone believes it.
The days are getting brighter and warmer, the wardrobe lighter and more colorful and people are sitting outside the cafés and on the benches chatting again without being wrapped in thick blankets.

The opening of "Climat" de Lancôme is wonderfully mundane; I encounter this fragrance in the form of an eau de toilette with graceful lightness.
Standing out at all costs is not its thing, rather a pleasantly dosed, almost natural accompaniment, in which the white variety of fragrances also dominates in the form of jasmine and tuberose blossoms and the fruity sweetness of the peach points to the summer still to come: "It will!" says this fragrance and is already smiling.
Rosemary's strong spice and wild bamboo provide green moments:
Hope radiates here, and not only thanks to the aldehydes typical of the time that support this feeling.
But even this colorful, blooming fragrance creation with its light smile needs a base to take root and develop into its full beauty.
What could be more suitable than the familiar?
Soft, warm musky foam with a sweet tonka bean touch is interspersed with strong traces of sandalwood and vetiver, in which the civet cat, so frequently encountered at the time, leaves its mark: As always, very cuddly, albeit a little dirty and correspondingly harsh-smelling.
In this way, this cheerfulness that has become a fragrance not only acquires the necessary earthiness, but also an animalistic, erotic moment: Literally a tantalizing glance over the shoulder, a wink ...

In "Climat", the charm of early summer unfolds and tempts me to open the small flacon:
"Welcome to the light!" whispers its clear contents.

Bäm!

I souked up the scent here as bottling because I got curious about the comments.

Preserved-sprayed... and wow! No. More like BÄÄÄM. What a scent. Not a little hickey... not for young girls, but a seasoned '80s scent. Very flowery...a little stinging...slightly soapy...pure and still without frills. I like.

I was then able to get hold of a ribbed bottle and am happy that I now own it. Certainly not a scent for every day. Maybe even for the evenings.

For me he belongs to the ranks of Vanderbilt, Chanel Nr 5, Giorgio Beverly Hills and maybe Jadore. All very distinctive fragrances for which I have to be in the mood, because they can also become too much for me. But if I feel like this kind of scent then they are just great.
