From your scent profile
Lancôme Hypnôse Eau Légère is a light women's fragrance that moves from a fresh, fruity opening of citrus and guava into a sweet heart of passion flower and vanilla; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

WoodyWhat does Hypnôse Eau Légère smell like?
Citrus notes and guava lead, giving a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, passion flower and vanilla add a floral, gourmand sweetness, while vetiver lays a woody base underneath. A powdery, slightly synthetic edge runs through the accords.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with evening and night-out use close behind. Alexandria Signature and Lancôme Hypnôse (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
