Climat Lancome for women

I just purchased a new "sealed in the box" bottle of Climat EdP on Amazon.com last week. Awful, awful...smells like hairspray - I am returning it tomorrow. So very, very disappointed because I love this fragrance. I still have 2 of my original bottles from 10 years ago - empty, of course, but I can still open them and smell what is left. Climat is a truly beautiful fragrance. I would love to find it again!

I was around 10 years old, when my mom got "Climat" as a present. 15ml bottle, just as the one on the fragranticas picture. Smells divine! I remember putting tip of my nose very close to the bottle, and the smell would fallow me for hours. I just got 75ml bottle of "Climat" EdT, as a gift from my moms friend. First sniff....jes, it is "Clemat", but lighter, somehow more like a "day" fragrance. Not cheap, but not the same as the old formula. I like this new one too. It is sweet - aromatic. Much thinner that the old version. Long lasting. NOT old lady like (at least not on my skin). I do not know why they brought this back under same name though. It is kinda cheating on the customer. If you are thinking of buying a new "Climat", get a sample first. Unless you are getting the "real one", consider it as a little sister of "Clemat".

P.S want to add that i will also agree with "Doc Elly". I detect some citrus notes too.

Old world sexy. A slightly oily, strong floral with a definite vintage feeling. Not my style, but glad I got to sample it

I was student when I was using it in early 80s, It was wonderful time...:) I was feeling so confindent leaving house in the morning with sent of Climat!!!!!

This is okay but not me. I think it is the Aldehyde ?? I don't know. someone else yes, me no.

I used to buy myself this perfume when I was working during my 20's! It was always my favourite and made me feel so grown up and sophisticated!! So so sad that it is so hard to purchase now ... how I wish I could smell it one more time...so many great memories of that time in my life!

Absolutely wonderful!
A perfume that makes a woman unforgettable.
The truth is it smells very much like Estee, but Climat is superior to Lauder's creation.

my mum use to wear it like 20 years ago. I bought her this year s edition and it has nothing to do with the original smell. The original was fresh watery aldehyde smell, todays version is cheap drugstore something to use maybe as a "house perfume". loved it, hate it now.

It's a great beautiful classy sweet and slightly sour scent with elegant dry down and a wonderful veil!

Apart from Magie Noire, I would say that Climat is the most beautiful perfume I have ever worn.
I discovered it about ten years ago when I found an unboxed miniature bottle in a charity shop.
Oh my! What a delight.
The little bottle sat on one of my kitchen shelves in my little flat and is long gone and much lamented.
I'm not going to try to describe the smell, I couldn't put it into words and it would definitely lose in the translation.
It's a floral aldehyde and I think you can tell I like it!
(I love Malegria's alien description though! For me, although I know she meant something different, it speaks of Climat's elegance)
Climat screams 'class' and 'quality'!
Actually, I'm wearing Liz Earle Botanical No 1 at the moment (it's not on the database here yet), and, strangely,citrus aside, it's the only perfume that has ever reminded me slightly of Climat.
I bought a new and sealed big bottle of Climat EDT recently on Ebay and was so disappointed. I don't know if it was a fake or a reformulation but it was barely there and had nothing of the contents of that little bottle about it.
When I am rich I am going to get the really expensive set of Lancome minis and hope that that Climat is the same as the one I remember.

Flowers straight up, preserved in aldehydes! That’s what jumps out of the vial, even before being invited out. Once on the skin, a lot of citrus comes to the fore, making the blend masquerade as something almost like orange blossoms, one of the few flowers that I like in perfume. This citrus phase is nice, but it fades pretty quickly, only lasting a couple of hours. What I tried is the EdT, so a more concentrated version might have better longevity. This is a pleasant floral scent that seems to be heavy on the top notes. It’s nothing extraordinary that I would go out of my way to obtain more than a sample of.

I'd love to trade for some of this. My Mother always wore it and smelled divine.

A floral that becomes so flat that it bores you, the drydown is a total disapoinment

my mother love this scent.she wear it since her universty times.there was deficite of this parfumes iN USSR so i think this smell takes her top that happy days when she was young.but i dot like this scent.it too heavy and smells like oil.

I have a complicated relationship with this aldehydic wonder. It`s a nostalgic scent for me...my mom wore it for a while when I was a very happy toddler, and then she bought a bottle when I was a very unhappy teenager. I love and hate it at the same time.
The opening is almost sickly fresh, and then it quickly develops into a gorgeous sharp floral...the trail it leaves behind is unbelievable!But there is something "too much", something disturbing about it, pain/pleasure type that won`t let me have it. I would also add that there is nothing sexy about it for my taste, it`s a scent of a different,non-carnal nature, like it was made for aliens with turquoise-colored blood that communicate by telepathy and have sex in dreams.
I always love it on others and immediately it puts me in a hound dog mode - but, unfortunately, it is just not made for my pleasure. Climat is my Nemesis perfume.
