Trésor by Lancôme

It’s not for everyone. My aunt has been wearing it for over 20 years and she’s right, it never goes out of style, though I just can’t get into it. It’s very strong and leaves people indifferent. It’s mature, complex, and detailed. I wouldn’t recommend it for casual wear; it’s too elegant. I’d only wear it for evening events.

It gives me nausea.

A very potent fruity perfume that lasts a long time. I have the miniature and the 100ml bottle, which is almost new.

I loved it, smells super delicious, sweet, and exquisite. Even though it’s for women, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying appreciating it. Many might not like it, but give it a try, make the effort.

The first time I smelled it straight from the bottle, the grapefruit and pineapple notes were very noticeable, but I expected more based on the notes listed. Wearing it convinced me more; it’s in the dry-down where I really liked it, because the scents stand out without overpowering the previous ones, the musk and rose harmonize with the fruits. At first I thought I wouldn’t like it, but on my skin and in the dry-down, I liked it a lot. I don’t think it has such a heavy sillage as people say; the only indifferent thing is that in my case, I don’t feel it lasts as long on skin, and I’m not sure if I’d pay its price. I have it because I bought the Lancôme advent calendar and the miniature came with it; the bottle is very beautiful. I see many comments saying it lasts and smells too much, I’ve only used it twice, maybe I should apply more, I’ll try. I think it’s timeless and I understand why some don’t like it because it has ‘something’ to it, that only happened to me smelling it from the bottle. In short, wearing it is much more pleasant, I guess there’s a reason it’s been on the market for so long.

I had it in the 90s as a miniature and remember using very little because the scent is powerful, invasive, elegant, and makes sure everyone knows you’re there. I’ll buy it again, but as a nostalgic purchase.

Smells old and is too invasive. If someone wears it and hugs me, I’m left with their scent all afternoon. It’s one of those fragrances I hate and can’t stand being near; it’s just too much for the senses.

I fell in love with this fragrance at 17, and today my love for Tresor remains intact. First-scent love will always be, for me, the perfume with the most presence and elegance in the world, from the bottle to the aroma—a work of art representing luxury and good taste. I smell soaked peaches and roses in liquor; I see it on a woman with character and confidence, suitable for climates that aren’t too warm. My beloved Tresor, you are my favorite classic.

I tried it, but no… I don’t like it. Looking at its notes, I only thought it had to be perfect, but nothing. I have it in a miniature from a kit of 5 Lancôme minis, and it’s the only one of all that, no matter how much I try, I don’t like. I’m absolutely not one of those who think a perfume is for a certain age, because I love Nº5, Portofino, Diorissimo… and countless old-school perfumes, but something about Trèsor is a NO for me. When it dries, it leaves a weird, dry, and harsh scent that doesn’t work for me, like tobacco and sandalwood. However, the Nuit version is a different story… that leaves a delicate, soft, and sensual scent that I love. Anyway, it will stay as part of my miniature collection.

A scent for someone over 50, giving elegance and personality, nothing youthful, not my taste.

I was gifted this fragrance years ago and at first, I didn’t like it; it felt very ‘old lady’ to me. Now, I absolutely love it. At first, it smells more floral than fruity; you can detect the rose and jasmine, but once it dries down, the peach takes over the show. It’s an intense and elegant aroma, something unusual for me since I’m more of a gourmand fan.

Roses and sweet fruits; it’s my winter perfume for special occasions or night outs. It has high intensity and lasts forever. I consider it vintage. I prefer the newer versions with red berries.

I bought it by mistake; I mixed up the boxes and wanted La Nuit Trésor, but I couldn’t return it. It’s a peach perfume, nothing youthful or novel; I know it’s a classic with many years on the market. Last week, a woman my mom’s age told me her mom used it. Haha. Aside from that, it didn’t last on me at all: no projection, no sillage, nothing. I was dying to get through it; I used it right after showering just to burn through it quickly. I finished it, but I’ll never buy it again.

It never goes out of style, soft but persistent; it smells like peach to me, has a synthetic touch, a unique and elegant scent, a masterpiece by Lancôme.

I think Ms. Sophia Grojsman creates fragrances with a lot of character. The ones I know aren’t easy scents. When I read reviews, I often see disproportionate adjectives (‘horrible’, ‘disgusting’, ‘nauseating’), exaggerated or bad-taste comparisons, and even insults. There’s also hyperbole when you like something, and that’s fine because it makes us feel good. What’s curious is that there’s also people who get offended and personalize others’ opinions just because they don’t like the smell or associate it with older people. With some Grojsman fragrances, and especially with this Trésor, there’s a lot of that. If you meditate on it, a sociological reflection is inevitable, but that’s not the place. I think Trésor is a fragrance with character and a challenge. It requires will, especially if you’re young, because it’s not a modern scent. It’s intense, especially at first. It’s sweet with many nuances that act as satellites to the peach (nectarine) and flowers, where I only clearly perceive the iris, especially that powdery sensation. It has strong presence in projection and longevity; it can be overwhelming, annoying, or cloying without measure. I’m not surprised it doesn’t work for some, especially the young. Now, I celebrate seeing young people accepting the challenge and trying vintage things with an open mind. I also love seeing older women who look and feel beautiful with their perfumes and clothing, and gentlemen with polished shoes and coquettish hats leaving a light trail of soapy cologne. I love seeing guys and girls discovering scents in perfumeries, smiling at what they like and making faces at what they don’t. And honestly, I’m always struck by seeing a young woman buying fragrances like Trésor; I imagine her happy and eager to show the world her new acquisition.
