Launched in a black bottle with wide and reassuring shoulders, Sagamore, was then accompanied by a communication created by French artist Serge Gainsbourg who shot the advertisement's black and white photography.
The utterly timeless fragrance opens with a blend of icy spices (cardamom), distinguished citrus fruit (bergamot) and iconic rustic notes (lavender). Once again, Lancôme has dared to add flowers to an essence for men: jasmine and geranium refreshed with astringent ginger.
However, this noble woody fragrance, which could complement either a poet explorer or a gentleman in the forest, offers more than mere freshness.
It takes its audience into the shadowy undergrowth where the damp ground merges with dry bark and dark foliage.
A magnificient scent with an overdose of vetivier, moss and benzoin notes - an essential rediscovery.

The Secret of the Perfumer
Maison Lancôme
In 1935, Lancôme came into being. Brand founder Armand Petitjean presented his very first olfactory collection: fragrances that were reflections of his passion for noble essences and sublime absolutes. From that day, the brand's destiny was sealed to be a leading perfumery house.
Almost 80 years later, Lancôme pays homage to the avant-garde spirit of Armand Petitjean and his unique expertise with the collection Maison Lancôme.
