But after a couple of minutes things go down. This is no classic, but rather an uninspired copy of Calvin Klein's Obsession. Considering that it comes 20 years late, this one ultimately loses favour in every respect.

I say that Hypnose is "somewhat unique". I've since acquired "Canali Men" which is very similar to Hypnose. The nose behind Hypnose is Maurice Roucel. He is the creator for Rochas Man and numerous fragrances from Guerlain, Gucci, Hermes, Frederic Malle, Bond No 9 and others. Hypnose definitely has a fine pedigree.
The opening is spicy with cardamom and mandarin orange. Over time, the cardamom fades into a very warm patchouli and amber.
Hypnose is complimented wherever I go. You will stand out but in a good way. I wear it to the office with wonderful results. It is perfect for the night life yet remains sophisticated enough for very formal ocassions. To others, Hypnose suggests that the wearer is bold and adventurous rather than a tame comformist. I highly recommend it.
EDIT: With regard to the comments in a subsequent review (above) that Hypnose is a copy of Obsession, I am compelled to respond. I've worn Obsession since it's 1986 debut and Hypnose since its debut in 2006. Other than both share lavender, mandarin, patchouli, and amber as ingredients, the two fragrances are not even remotely similar. Obsession is all about floral, cinnamon, and woods. There is relatively little spiciness to it other than the cinnamon. Hypnose is amber heavily dominated by spicy cardamom.
This is as elegant as wearing a tuxedo to a supermarket.



Incredibly warm & smooth, the citrus notes are fleeting leaving only a delicate squeeze of weak orange juice behind. The patchouli is tame, the cardamom is sweetened by vanilla & the rest of the amber-blend is very herbal (but not at all in a green-herbal way...all the corners are rounded off & buffed to a rich shine here).
I also get a scent-impression of the best quality leather, it mixes so well with the warmth of my skin that it is almost like my body's own animal scent. I imagine this would be very inviting on a man.
Good sillage & lasting power with a woody-amber dry down. Delicious! A winter treat.
It would make a great gift fragrance as I can't see anyone having an aversion to it: understated, but not to be underestimated.

Very good sillage and long lasting.
Somehow reminds me lolita lempicka au masculin and antidote by viktor & rolf.
I think it really hypnoses.



Constructed so as to deliberately mix the bracing yet soft effects of a fougere (bergamot, lavender, coumarin, geranium, oakmoss...) and the warm deeper effects of an oriental. The perfume has notes of mint, bergamot, calabrian mandarin, chinese cardamom seed, essence of provençal lavender, amber, musk, and essence of indonesian patchouli.
And although Hypnose seems to be a far simpler fragrance, I like it much better.
It's sweet in the beginning, but in a 'smart' way. Definitely, the opening is more interesting than the heart and the drydown. It fades quickly, turning delicate and not so exceptional, but still very pleasant.
I think it can be worn as a day fragrance in autumn/winter season by a man who has a strong, dominant position at work/in a group.
I agree with afraafra that it's longevity isn't very good. But, overall, Hypnose is just charming!
