La Nuit Trésor à la Folie by Lancôme

This website loses all credibility when they recommend an identical clone of Lolitaland at half the price; it smells like when we played dress-up as teachers when we were little girls.

A gorgeous flanker I can’t ask for more of; please keep making it. To me, it smells like chocolate cake baking in the oven, even though it doesn’t list cocoa; probably the tonka bean and red berries are confusing my nose. Very gourmand, vanilla-forward, and woody in the dry down, with a dark, seductive touch perfect for dates and nights. The warmer the weather, the better it shines. Lasts 8 to 10 hours and projects like a beast; people noticed the chocolate scent from over 3 meters away. It was a crime to discontinue it. If you can find it, don’t hesitate to buy it. No waste at all. I’d give anything to have a backup bottle.

I can’t believe this work of art is discontinued… I bought it last year and it still hurts to watch the bottle dry out. It’s so well-constructed, long-lasting, and charming that it shouldn’t have left the shelves. I hope Lancôme considers bringing it back; for me, it surpasses all the flankers, being both seductive and mysterious like À la Folie.

I bought it last year when rumors of its discontinuation were circulating. I tried it before and fell in love immediately: that vanilla in the opening is very sweet yet elegant, which made me buy it on the spot. Its trail doesn’t last long, but the scent lingers on skin and clothes. Once it dries down, I smell a lot of nutmeg (I’m not entirely fond of it). It stays very intimate, perfect for enclosed spaces.

It’s a very sweet aroma with a very marked but particular vanilla that sets it apart from the countless vanilla perfumes on the market: it’s subtle, elegant, and sensual. You can also smell a lot of pear in the opening, making it fruity, fresh, and sensual as the rose emerges; by the heart, it becomes a bit darker and more intense, extremely feminine, finishing with woody, sexy, and persistent notes. Overall, I liked it a lot; I’ve been wearing it for just a few days and I loved it. I’m a big fan of sweet perfumes, and this one is very feminine and charming. It has lovely notes, although in the end, I always sense a synthetic aroma, probably due to the ambroxan taking on a different intensity at my pH. But it’s a lovely perfume; it’s much sweeter and fruitier than La Nuit Tresor.

At first, it smells like makeup powder with a hint of lipstick, maybe due to the violet. It’s very faint on my skin, so I’ll let it settle. EDITED 05/09/24: Forgot to mention, it smells like powdery iris mixed with cherry—elegant and youthful. Still lacks big projection and longevity, barely lasts 7 hours. I still prefer the original LNT.

My Lancôme rose, I love it. It’s long-lasting and feminine. I never understand why people say roses are for older women; it’s disrespectful and lacks personality. At 38, I’d rather enjoy a fresh rose scent than smell like Nutella forever. A bit of personality, please.

I bought it by mistake while looking for the classic La Nuit Trésor, but I fell in love with this A la Folie flanker. It feels very cozy, perfect for those who love sweet, vanilla, and warm scents. It seems romantic, elegant, and very wearable. Ideal for dates, night outs, or formal gatherings. Longevity is excellent and the trail is moderate.

It came with me today; it has that childhood ice cream shop vibe, perfect for this winter. It brings back memories of La Petite Robe Noire Black. We’ll see how long this unrequited love for a discontinued scent lasts, because I really love it. Good trail and longevity; it’s not a beast but it’s very noticeable. EDITED: After winter testing, the scent is delicious even if it’s not quite my style. It lasts over 12 hours on skin and is noticeable on a suede jacket after a week. The trail is flattering; two people told me I smelled great on a night out, one said I smelled like I’d doused myself in perfume. If it were less gourmand, it would be ideal for me; I’ll either switch to it or sell it.

I love it, I love it, I love it so much. It’s feminine, sweet, warm, and enveloping. It has spectacular fixation, longevity, and trail. On my skin, vanilla and amber dominate, with a smoky touch and a hint of spicy pink pepper and nutmeg. It was love at first sniff. I recommend it if you like perfumes like Hypnotic Poison EDP by CD, though this one has more punch and projection. The price is excellent here.

I bought it years ago and didn’t like it: it smelled like sharp raspberries (even though it doesn’t have them, that’s what I thought at the time). The other day I was about to throw it away and… I’m so glad I stopped! It’s gorgeous, feminine, and unique. It opens with bergamot, blackcurrant, and a spicy kick of pepper. Then it settles into a floral heart of roses and violets, vanilla-infused, velvety, with a spicy note, probably nutmeg. It lasts about 8 hours and has a moderate sillage.

The opening is rich, but then it becomes intense. In my opinion, unjustly discontinued.

I bought it blindly because I wanted something from the Lancôme line but the classic ‘La Vie Est Belle’ didn’t convince me. I grabbed it on sale, it arrived, and I tried it. It smells delicious; I read it’s for more mature women, but at 25, it suits me perfectly. It’s very sweet and the vanilla lingers on the skin. What really bothered me is that I don’t feel good longevity; shortly after, I went to try perfumes from the same brand and they sprayed me with ‘La Vie Est Belle,’ which lasted two days soaked into my wrist despite me showering, a stark contrast to LNT a la Folie. Delicious scent and very addictive, but sadly, on my skin, it had no staying power 🙁

Very long-lasting with good sillage, slightly sweet, for women looking for something elegant without being overwhelming, highly recommended for ages 30 and up, a real triumph by Lancôme.

It’s the most perfect vanilla I know; it doesn’t smell like that typical sharp vanilla, it’s elegant, spiced, and sensual. Perfect for passionate nights, haha.
