La Collection Sagamore Lancome for women

Sagamore is a masculine, but it could work easily as a unisex.

Another unique scent, more for its structure than its smell. Here's the premise: take Tiffany for Men (or Pour Monsieur Concentree, they're basically the same), and add more citrus up top. Not just that, but also add Tom of Finland by Etat Libre d'Orange. Yes, you heard my correctly. Sagamore is essentially Tiffany for Men/PMC crossed with Tom of Finland's leather/saffron accord. Surprisingly enough, it works great and has a unique smell.

Now, of course, Sagamore came before both of the fragrances mentioned, but if you've smelled them, it should ring a bell. That's probably the closest thing I can compare Sagamore to. A very unique powdery-leather masculine. I'll have to spend some more time with this one before I decided whether or not I'll actually wear it.

Okay, it's become clear that Lancome is not laying all of its cards on the table. Clearly listed in the ingredients (on the box) of La Collection SAGAMORE is the oh-so-beloved evernia prunastri, yes, that's right: oak moss!

What a splendid composition this is! SAGAMORE opens as a citrus aromatic and seems fairly masculine initially, but from there it develops into a drop-dead gorgeous woody chypre. The patchouli is rather low-key and savory, not sweet. The vetiver and oak moss play very important roles in the drydown, once the more aromatic notes have diffused into the cosmos.

In contrast to CLIMAT, SAGAMORE is more brown than green, and also less floral, but it is truly splendid to sniff. I am very impressed by this collection, which manages to capture the essence of the perfumery of the good old days. And yet, somehow, these creations smell modern and new! SAGAMORE is totally unisex and in fact more feminine than some so-called feminine perfumes, including BALMAIN. Beautiful! Refreshing! Delightful! Endearing! Highly recommended to dry chypre lovers.

Sagamore is a men's perfume and not a women's one as written in the description !
