La Nuit Trésor Intense by Lancôme

I always say the Tresors are a marvel. While not everyone tolerates certain notes, this version is hard not to like. It’s elegant, just like the whole line, and out of the three I own, this is my favorite. It’s not a dark cherry, but rather youthful and elegant—perfect for important outings or nights out. It’s 100% vanilla and almond cherry, sweet and addictive. If you can get your hands on it, don’t hesitate.

Personal opinion: UGLY. I tested it on blotter and skin, and both were horrible. It smells like super artificial, syrupy cherry, like cough syrup or cherry MenthoPlus. Only as it fades slightly do you catch a hint of bitter almond, but it still carries that false candy-cherry cold-menthol vibe. It’s one of the ugliest perfumes I’ve ever tried. The price isn’t friendly, and the scent is stridently fake. It wouldn’t even suit an older lady due to its intensity. Heavy sillage, medium longevity, high price (in Argentina, all imports are ridiculously expensive), ugly scent, zero naturalness. If you wear it in summer or autumn at noon, you deserve to be lynched for the headaches you’ll cause. 1/10.

I loved this perfume; it has the DNA of the original but is fruitier and sweeter on my skin. Longevity is 8 hours, good sillage, and great clothing fixation for 24 hours easily. I love all the La Nuit Tresors and fleshy fruity scents like this. Longevity 10/10, sillage 8/10. I’d buy it a thousand times over and take great care of my 100ml bottle. I’ve already ordered Le Parfum.

I picked up La Nuit Tresor Intense in tester format a few days ago, blindly trusting the brand and reading reviews, even watching videos calling it the eighth wonder, but it didn’t convince me. I smelled the cherry note from start to finish, but it feels like a personal indulgence, somewhat matronly. I see a refined woman, not too young, around 45 and up. It’s coquettish and elegant, better for cooler climates. I love perfumes with red fruits, sweet-alcoholic vibes, but for a dressed-up woman, young and over 30. To me, this feels more serious and lordly. I also detect a lot of rose alongside the cherry as dominant notes. Longevity and sillage are lamentable. For Lancôme, it seems like a huge waste of money. Don’t buy it.

I’m super sad because this is a perfume I always wanted, but it didn’t work for me :(. I find the rose too sharp and overwhelming; I just can’t handle that note. Maybe it’s just too prominent for me. Beyond that, it’s a lovely fragrance with great longevity, feeling both sexy and elegant at the same time. Ideal if you like warm scents with rose and a touch of cherry!

What a marvel, a cherry that turns boozy despite having no liquor notes. It’s the cherry I was hoping to discover, not the ones that make your head hurt or smell like Vick’s syrup like the Tom Fords. A well-crafted perfume, intense as its name suggests, where you can feel the quality. Ideal for nights and cold days, a sensual bomb. I imagine it for a romantic dinner with intense red lipstick and lots of cold. Wow.

My history with this perfume line is a bit toxic…hehe. I saw hundreds of YouTuber reviews praising La Nuit Tresor (the original) and bought it blindly. It wasn’t the right time, and I hated it after just a few sprays. It felt too sweet, vulgar, and childish. I sold it and it went to the shelf of the past. Recently, I craved something sweet again and decided to try this Intense version. It turned out to be an absolute delight—sweet but not suffocating. It starts with a light aroma of cherry lollipops, then transforms into a delicious veil of almond cream with frosted rose that caresses the skin for hours. Finally, I detect a delicious, slightly powdery vanilla that, along with the rose, reminds me of the papyrus note in the original, which this one lacks. I think it’s highly recommended: a divine, feminine, seductive, and mysterious aroma suitable for almost all seasons (except summer). The sillage is medium to high for the first few hours, then drops to low until it fades. In my case, it lasted about 8 hours. The blotter I sprayed first lasted several days. So much did I love it that I bought the original La Nuit Tresor again, and it’s back in my collection like an old lover who stirs everything inside you when you look at them.

Excuse me for what I’m about to say, but this one did seem like a lady’s perfume to me… It reminds me of one of my grandmother’s perfumes. Based on the reviews, I expected to feel a super cherry scent, yet the cherry lasted only two seconds; instead, I smell powdery notes. It’s been an hour since I applied it, and it’s almost unnoticeable. Nothing like the original Tresor, which floods the room you’re in! With the Intense version, I feel this perfume has nothing. It has an extremely soft dry-down. It’s nice, unfortunately, not what I expected. Too soft for my taste! I like perfumes with presence that you can feel and that leave a trail. This one doesn’t. It doesn’t smell like cherries to me, nor does it remind me of the original La Nuit Tresor (that one really delivers). It was a blind buy; I hadn’t tried it, but I trusted the brand and the reviews. This is the first time I’m using it, so if my opinion changes, I’ll let you know later!

I tried it again in the store today… I have to admit I was caught off guard and totally surprised. Previously, I had tried it several times, and no matter how hard I tried, I never perceived the cherries 🍒; I could only smell 👃 something similar to praline and the excessive sweetness of the first LNT… In fact, I thought it was 99% identical… But today was different… Almost instantly, I got hit with the cherry… a cherry slightly similar to LPRN but very subtle. Juicy and a bit acidic, paired with the super sweet praline accord I felt on other occasions. I must admit that cherry 🍒 is one of my favorite notes in perfumery, and if you go into my closet, you’ll see that most of my perfumes have it. So, finally having this accord on my nose in a perfume I’ve been waiting for so many months… well, it makes me happy. As soon as I can (💸), I’ll go get the bottle before it runs out. 🙏

A beauty in every rule!! A complex, mysterious fragrance with touches of light. Simply wonderful. People compare it to La Nuit Trésor à la Folie, which is indeed a deep aroma where vanilla reigns, but I don’t think they are actually that similar. At La Folie, the vanilla is less blended, the queen, with just a shy rose trying to peek out. Intense is a combination of combinations where no single note reigns supreme. The touches of almond, rose, and cherry are masterful. I bought the 50ml version, but without a doubt, I’ll be back for it because I adore it. Lancôme never fails to surprise me. Longevity on skin is 6 hours, moderate sillage.

BEAUTIFUL SCENT!!!

To me, it’s gorgeous—a blend of La Nuit Trésor, Petite Robe Noire, and Girl of Now that I absolutely love. The longevity and sillage are powerful. It all depends on the skin; everyone experiences it differently. I bought it blindly, scared by the negative reviews, but it was a total hit.

I didn’t like it at all. I received a sample with products I bought from Lancôme and I can’t find anything pleasant about it. I wouldn’t wear it to go out; it’s quite unpleasant, especially as time goes on.

At first, I thought it was too sweet, almost unbearable, since I don’t usually wear gourmand perfumes. Over time, my opinion changed, and now I tolerate that mix of rose, cherry, almond milk, woods, and vanilla much better. To me, it smells a bit synthetic; I’m not sure if it’s the vanilla or the cherry. I only wear it at home occasionally to test it out. On my skin, it lasts about 4 hours with a trail of around 1.5 meters after 3 sprays.

This perfume came as a sample to my mom when she bought another Lancôme. When I tried it, I was struck by it; at that time, I wasn’t very interested in perfumes and only had a few I considered the best, so it was rare for me to like a niche fragrance since the ones my mom had seemed too heavy to me. I must admit, I like sweet perfumes, and until recently, niche ones didn’t do anything for me. The two that made me pay more attention to scents were super sweet grape ones I bought on a trip to Mendoza (Argentina); that’s when I realized my tastes are quite youthful, which makes sense since I’m young, and things were even more so back then. So, over time and through trial and error, I started getting to know famous perfumes like this one, Idôle by Lancôme, and others that I actually liked. I realized I had never paid attention to my personal tastes, that I do like niche perfumes and not just cheap, super-sweet ones from flea markets or Avon magazines, and I started diving deeper into this world. I still have a lot to learn about my preferences and types of scents; I don’t know exactly which notes I like, but I do know the ones in this perfume are on the list. A few months ago, I started falling in love with the world of perfume, and I know I’ll keep advancing. And this perfume was the beginning, which is why I like it so much: I went from disliking most perfumes to entering every perfumery I could, and at first, I was just there to smell this one because it has something super addictive. Luckily, my mom bought it for me as a gift for my 18th birthday, and honestly, it surpasses any perfume I’ve tried in my limited experience. Although I’m not sure, I don’t think it’s easy to replace it with another; it’s special, it has something I can’t quite put my finger on due to my limited knowledge, but it blows my mind. On my skin, it’s delicious and has great longevity. I’m not a fanatic about anything; I don’t like fanatism and I’m not interested in being obsessed with the perfume world. I enjoy it and it interests me a lot, but I don’t want to get obsessed or put all my money into it. However, deep down, I’m very happy to have opened my mind, and this perfume was an essential part of that. It’s a marvel, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. I’ve heard many things, some negative, but they don’t add up for me. I know it’s not the most admired perfume, but if I describe it in a few words, I’d say hypnotic and attractive.
