  It’s a rare fragrance… that’s how I perceived it. It starts very fresh, pleasant, citrusy and woody (novel for me), then shifts to something floral, but the base suddenly changes to a very ‘granny’ smell, like old cologne, and that’s the scent that lingers until the end… quite heavy (the sample gave me such a headache…)

  A simple and kind perfume, it doesn’t bother anyone; in fact, I’m often given compliments. It smells fresh and a little sweet, it lifts my spirits, I think it’s lovely and many people agree, hehe 🙂

  It’s spicy, floral, aquatic and slightly powdery. The opening is surprising, like enjoying a sunny day and then a splendid storm breaking out; bathing in its drops and breathing in the warmth of the flowers. Highly recommended, it vibrates positively and relaxes. Watch out, like any good storm, it’s ephemeral and only remains in memory.

  I tried it in 2005 and 2006; it smells fantastic: fresh but with a touch of talc. I loved that aquatic blend without losing the subtle wood and spice notes, very rich, I really enjoyed wearing it.

  I liked this perfume; fresh, soft aroma, without great pretensions. BUT when I applied it to my neck, it gave me a terrible headache and I had to shower. It’s happened to me with other perfumes too, even some give me nausea. Fortunately it didn’t happen with my beloved Edén, Light Blue, nor with Ángel, O by Lancôme, nor Paris by ISL. I’m the delicate one; I don’t know which compound provokes these reactions in me. The same happened with Vanderbilt, Ungaro, JLO, among others.

  I bought it blindly. I liked it. The opening is rare, strong, unisex. Soon it softens, you notice the milk, and after an hour it smells identical to Noa by Cacharel, I think it will be the musk mixed with certain notes. It doesn’t seem very fresh as I thought it would be for a summer perfume, I see it more for any weather. The bottle is pretty but very uncomfortable. Quality/price ratio: excellent. Would I buy it again?: I don’t know, I prefer to repeat with Noa.

  I bought it blind. I liked it. The opening is strange, strong, unisex. Shortly after it softens, you notice the milk, and after an hour it smells identical to Noa by Cacharel. I think it must be the musk mixed with certain notes. It doesn’t seem very fresh as I thought it would be for summer; I see it for any climate. The bottle is pretty but very uncomfortable. Quality/price ratio: excellent. Would I buy it again?: I don’t know, I prefer to repeat with Noa.

  Oxygene was a very strange perfume. The first impression was like smelling stale cologne. It was part of that late-90s trend of ozonic, transparent and ethereal fragrances that mixed aquatic, musky and powdery notes. Noa by Cacharel and Flower by Kenzo took the cake, both white and angelical with that zen and futuristic relax of the year 2000. Oxygene wanted to be the third, but nobody bought it; perhaps the brand, which was languishing then, didn’t have a big name for girls to spend money on a Lanvin perfume, or perhaps it was so extravagant that people thought ‘no way, something else’. To me, it’s a real rarity. The opening was unusual, with hints of crushed banana leaf, wicker and very spicy esparto, something synthetic and herbal that made me think of a thorny bush surrounded by pavements, like Eau Torride by Givenchy. People would think it’s stale because it smells like cut cologne. Soon after, an aniseed sweetness appeared, a blueish and spicy air with a taste of stale camphor but curiously ozonic, synthetic, galactic and modern. To this party of rare notes was added lots of milk and much iris, both dense, heavy, creamy, velvety and musky… A strange mix that worked well with the spicy and grey/blueish tint of the first impression. When it dried down it resembled Noa by Cacharel, but it had its own personality, it was muddier, even masculine due to a bergamot in the background that never left. It didn’t succeed. Nowadays it can be found for half a peseta in any online shop. I don’t know how it’s getting on with reformulations; when they cheapen a perfume they usually cheapen the composition too. Oxygene deserves to be rediscovers. I loved it, it was a sexy and virginal treat… comfortable, milky, dangerous, rare, unsettling… It could be the futuristic and crazy version of any family talc.

  Oxygene was a rarity. At the start, it smelled like stale cologne. It was part of that late 90s trend of ozonic, transparent, ethereal fragrances, between aquatic, musky, and powdery. The cake was taken by Noa by Cacharel and Flower by Kenzo, both white and angelical but with that zen, futuristic relax of the 2000s. Oxygene wanted to be the third, but nobody bought it; perhaps the brand, which was languishing then (it would recover in the 00s to become a best-seller), didn’t have an important name for girls to leave money on a Lanvin perfume. Or perhaps it was so extravagant that people thought ‘no way, another thing’. To me, it seems a rarity worth noting. The opening was unusual, something with aftertastes of crushed banana leaf, wicker, and very spicy esparto, a strange idea between the synthetic and the herbal, like a thorny bush trying to live surrounded by concrete sidewalks, like Eau Torride by Givenchy. I think people thought ‘this is stale’, because it smelled like spiked cologne. However, shortly after, an aniseed sweetness appeared, a bluish, spicy air with a taste of stale camphor but curiously ozonic, synthetic, galactic and modern. To this party of strange notes was added lots of milk and lots of iris, both dense, heavy, creamy, velvety and musky… A strange mixture but that worked very well with the spiced, grey/blue colour of the first impression. Oxygene breathed air to Noa Cacharel when drying, but had its own personality; it was muddier, even masculine due to a background bergamot that doesn’t abandon. It didn’t succeed. Today it can be found for half a peseta in any online shop. I don’t know how it will fare with reformulations; when houses cheapen a perfume, they usually cheapen the composition too. Oxygene deserves for people to discover it again. I loved it, it was a sexy, virginal mess… comfortable, milky, dangerous, rare, unsettling… It could be the futuristic, crazy version of any family talc.

  Someone asked about the reformulation, so I’ll tell you: they ruined it. It’s still strange, not bad, but I threw it away. I have the mini and the difference is brutal; the new one is totally artificial, less talcky. When the original dries, it resembles Noa, but this reformulated version is a mixture of weird milk with a synthetic smell. Still, it’s not a bad perfume.

  I never thought I’d say this, but it smells like my granny. I associate it with the classic powdery perfume of a very old lady. I bought it with great faith and the opening I actually like a lot, it’s fresh but afterwards I can only smell talc. Pity I sprayed several times after realising this, I had to have a shower. Even though in my country it’s very cheap, anyway it seemed like wasted money. In fact, my grandma’s birthday is coming up and I’ll give it to her.

  I would never have said this, but it smells like my grandmother. It reminds me of the classic talc of older ladies. I bought it with great enthusiasm and loved it at first; it’s fresh, but then only talc remains. It’s a pity I sprayed several times before realising and had to shower. Although it’s extremely cheap here, I felt I’d thrown my money away. In fact, my grandmother’s birthday is coming up and I’m giving it to her.

  A very special and different fragrance. To me, it’s a spiced floral, with citrus touches and powdery. I don’t consider it vintage or for older women. I perceive quite a bit of pepper and bergamot in the opening and dry-down, giving way to the floral aroma after a few minutes. In the dry-down, the powdery note is noticeable, but it’s a dry powder, something creamy. It has no sweetness. I like it because it’s unique; I use it in temperate climates. Its longevity is average, about 5 to 6 hours… in the last ones, it’s already skin-level. The bottle doesn’t appeal to me much; it’s uncomfortable to apply. Worth knowing at least.

  I agree that it breaks the mould. Hard to describe. I don’t smell flowers or fruit, nor is it a simple musk. It doesn’t smell like body lotion or anything of the sort. It’s mysterious. To me, it conveys neatness as well as freshness. Definitely feminine and for daytime use. I also don’t think those around you will find it unpleasant. Now that the high temperatures are starting, I’m getting a lot of use out of it. Bought blind recently, I can’t speak to its performance in cold weather… for my tastes, I think it will be a ‘no’, we’ll see. Longevity and trail… well, that’s a topic hardly worth discussing these days, but as for longevity, it holds its own. I could see it as a signature scent; certainly, you won’t agree with many other users. I don’t understand why it goes so unnoticed, because to me it seems a fragrance worthy of exploration. I like it very much.

  It’s a very strange perfume that doesn’t resemble anything… some find it similar to NOA but I don’t. It’s an androgynous scent, I imagine David Bowie wearing it with his 70s outfits. I love that it’s so particular, and I use it because in Chile we’re in summer and I can’t stand anything sweet at these temperatures. I love its packaging, it reminds me of the freshness of the ocean. I have the reformulated version and the original; for me, the original was still much more special.

  I owe this review to patience; I’ve had it for two months waiting for it to mature and settle (it hasn’t, it remains exactly as when I bought it). I’m not saying this because I dislike it; on the contrary, it’s one of those scents I love: unclassifiable and different. Oxygene opens with fresh bergamot; the pepper isn’t smelled but felt, giving a tingling ‘petillance’ that surprises on the first spray. Then comes the gardenia… lots of gardenia (watch out if you don’t like that note), with an ozonic impulse that lifts it away from the mundane and into the stratosphere, giving it that mysterious, ineffable character that captivates me. The heart lasts between 30 minutes and two hours, the part I enjoy most, besides which the milky note weaves with the musk, grounding it for the delight of our nostrils. Then comes the dry-down… here I understand those who say it smells like an older lady, but a trained nose will perceive the iris, musk, and sandalwood, totally classic… It’s as if the perfume makes you take off, promises cosmic flight, and slowly makes you land in the arms of the family matriarch. Far from annoying me, that’s what I like: it’s not for parties, but for metaphysical and contemplative events. I see it well for a museum, a city stroll, or a picnic writing poetry by the lake. It’s not a simple scent… it’s the ‘freshness’ of the dense and deep, of philosophers. But if you don’t have these panoramas, it will also rock you to sleep after a busy day. Moderate trail, to be used in open spaces (with moderation in enclosed places) and remember: if you don’t like the iris and musk in the dry-down, this perfume isn’t for you. Kisses.

  Sounds like J’Adore by Dior, but without the subtlety or elegance. It’s a rebellious J’Adore, for a woman who doesn’t want to stand out through elegance, but rather to demonstrate that wherever she stands, she moves the world. It swaps subtlety for determination.
