About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Benghal by Lancôme (2006) is a discontinued floral-fruity fragrance that opens with a bright, spicy duo of ginger and mandarin orange. The top notes are vivid and citrus-forward, with the ginger adding a fresh, tingling heat. The heart is not documented, but the base rests on sand, giving a dry, woody foundation. The accord breakdown shows a strong fruity presence (100%), supported by powdery (68%), fresh spicy (67%), citrus (65%), floral (65%), and woody (62%) facets. This suggests a scent that is both juicy and soft, with a subtle powdery finish. Collectors who appreciate early 2000s fruity florals with a spicy twist will find Benghal intriguing. It suits those who enjoy a balance of freshness and warmth, and it can be worn in daytime or casual settings. As a discontinued piece, it holds appeal for Lancôme enthusiasts and vintage perfume collectors seeking a lesser-known gem.
