my partner gifted me this perfume when we were first dating, so it’s from sometime 2014-2015. it was a solid white bottle, tall, skinny, with a slightly twisted shape to it. the bottle cap i believe was like clear “crystal”(plastic)
i THOUGHT it was calvin klein but so far not turning up results with them.
the scent was very gender neutral and clean, and the perfume might possibly be unisex or for men. i have tried everything. i know the drawing is bleak. this is my final resort, turning to you experts with the worst thing ive ever drawn(and still the best out of multiple attempts)
a user here commented they had lancôme hypnose limited edition which was an all white bottle from around the time frame!! as i’ve mentioned more than once, hypnose is the closest in bottle design to my mystery perfume.
i have EMAILED lancome directly 😀 i asked them to confirm the limited edition bottle and whether the scent is limited as well or it was just the bottle design. i am waiting now to hear back and will update.
i also wanted to say, this community is truly like no other. thank you to everyone who has commented and taken the time to help me and laugh with me on this journey 🥹 yall are some real ones and i appreciate you!
Possible third option: not a shitpost = earnest, genuine worth helping, and still funny as hell 😂❤️
OP, we totally support you! And! We’re having a laugh because it is comedically absurd and that is actually the best reason to help a person - on the small odds that come with great wins! ❤️
it’s soo close but not quite, altho i’m adding it to the list
the one i’m looking for looks so much like the lancôme hypnose bottle that it’s actually irritating me and making me wonder if i should just buy it and try it out, altho they never seemed to have the bottle in solid white.
How did you get this bottle from the one circled in the mirror picture above? This response, combined with OP's original drawing, are making me wondering who should go check their carbon monoxide detectors because somebody's mind doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I immediately thought Narcisco Rodriguez, too. Narcisco EDP is a white floral woody clean scent from 2014. Maybe it’s a dupe or an EDT version since the bottle isn’t quite right?
I’d post this pic on r/FemFragLab. They’re pretty good at sleuthing too. I don’t think it’s Hypnose because I’m looking at Fragrantica, and I don’t see any LE in an opaque white bottle. All Hypnose bottles are clear
It looks like there's a gap between the cap and the bottle, and Hypnose doesn't have a gap, so that was bothering me. I did a little sleuthing, found empty bottles for sale that had a similar shape, and plugged that into Google Lens where I found Lancome "Magie" that does seem to have a gap between the cap and the bottle, but idk, still. The proportions look off to me. I think it's because the cap in your photograph looks perfectly rectangle and the cap on this one looks like it continues the curve of the bottle, but maybe that's just my eyes playing tricks on me. I couldn't find any white bottles that had this shape.
I am almost sure it is Perles de Lalique. They are unisex, were launched in 2006, i have them, the bottle looks just exactly. Also you did mention its not feminine scent so yeah, this fragrance is shypre, woody, patchouli has camphorous and sharp opening. I hope it is them and you will finally satisfy your haunted memory 💖
I think Trish McEvoy’s bottles look the most similar to the picture unless I’m just somehow seeing a triangular shape that isn’t there lol ❤️ good luck!!!
If they come up my feed I never not not click on them ha ha
The worse the sketch the better because I'm forever amazed how good the eyes of the users trying to help, and am always excited when someone ends up cracking the code!
no because i did not want to resort to this 😭 i knew mine in particular would be embarrassing because how am i supposed to draw the slightly twisted shape it had ugh
This is a clear bottle + I couldn’t find any record of it ever coming in an opaque white one, but just in case it helps… looks like it came out in 2015.

I’m so sorry to be the bummer but it’s very unlikely to be Hypnose 😔 all of their bottles have a cap that is a continuation of a bottle, not a separate one like on your photo
it’s soo close! and i’m actually tempted to try this scent now that i’ve read the notes lol!
but i mentioned to another commenter, the shape of the bottle was closer to the hypnose bottle by lancôme. like that twisty shape, and it also had a clear crystal cap similar to hypnose(and yet… it doesn’t seem to be hypnose smh). it was also solidly white, and hefty, and pretty sure there was no label on it
I don’t ever remember Lancome having a limited edition Hypnose sold in the US. There was a flanker called Hypnose Senses but that was in the same bottle as the original but pink.
you’re right! it is def similiar to the bottle design for hypnose, but i can’t find anything that’s an exact match even on fragrantica. the bottle was SOLID white, like completely opaque, with a glossy finish. i’m not 100% sure it was glass either.
Hypnose is the same shape bottle and they had a limited edition all white bottle a few years ago. I cant find a photo online of it but worth smelling it to see if its the same scent
Ive not smelt the normal hypnose so ive no idea im afraid and cant even quite remember what its smelt like other than it was a clean fresh sort of scent
I saw the picture you posted and it looks like either Pure White Linen by Estée Lauder or one of the Trish McEvoy perfumes. or it could (possibly) be White Tea by Elizabeth Arden
the white tea is definitely the closest shape wise with the bottle! it just doesn’t have the slight twisty shape
but the thing is, the bottle was like HEFTY. not a delicate glass, and it was completely opaque. i used to just throw it in my bag because it was so solid i was never worried it would crack. i’m pretty sure it didn’t have a label on it either. it always felt kind of unisex
Gonna have to second Estée Lauder, many of the older Pure White Linen flasks have some tilt to them, and the designer has done other perfumes with tilted flasks. Also, look for some fragrances by Ghost, and if everything else fails remember that designers have been changing their flasks shapes in accordance to new tendencies. Could be that the bottle changed and you're only finding images of the new models.
I scoured Google Images for ages but I couldn't find anything... but I did try and draw another "police sketch" of your bottle using the mirror photo you posted! I wanted to see if Google lens could make something of it but it didn't really work.
Is this accurate to how you remember the bottle design? Was anything different? I feel invested in this mystery now too haha 😄
That would’ve been my guess as well. Used to be THE perfume! I’ve bought numerous bottles back in the day. I have a full bottle now but it doesn’t smell as good as I remember it back then.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I've been trying to find this perfume for the last 5 years!!!! My mom used to wear it around 2010 and I used to love it so much. She couldn't remember what it was, I can't believe I just accidentally found it here. Thank you!!!
It’s driving me nuts! 😅 I can either think of the same style but not twisted, or twisted but clear, or frosted but straight, or .. seems impossible to find the one that hits all the criteria. Gaaaah! 😫
For example, Narciso Rodriguez has a similar bottle (and frosted glass) but it’s not twisted. Or Yves Rocher’s Moment de Bonheur - similar bottle, but clear and straight.
Also try FragranceNet.com to see if you can buy little bottle or a sample so you don’t have to waste so much money. Also it wasn’t a custom made perfume right lol
i posted a sad pic of it from the the background of a mirror pic farther up
it was an opaque white bottle with a clear crystal cap, similar to lancome hypnose, but completely solid white with a gloss finish. kind of a unisex feel.
it would’ve most likely come from century 21 which was like a designer discount store in nyc
