Trésor by Lancôme

It’s not for everyone. My aunt has been wearing it for over 20 years and she’s right, it doesn’t go out of style, though I don’t find it myself. 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.

Definitely not for every palate… I loved it because it’s musky, smells of super-elegant roses, very sweet and refined. As it evolves, it reaches a clean scent; whenever someone asks for something clean and baby-like, I think of Tresor. It’s perfect for special occasions, I wouldn’t recommend it for work or daily wear, but without a doubt I give it 5 stars like the rest of the line ⭐️.

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

I loved it, it smells 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 try it, 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 given its notes. Wearing it convinced me more; it was the dry-down where I really liked it, because the scents stand out without overshadowing the previous ones, you can feel the musk and rose in harmony with the fruits. At first I thought I wouldn’t like it, but on skin and in the dry-down I liked it a lot. I don’t consider it to have 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 appeared; the bottle is very pretty. 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’, that only happened to me when 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 a miniature of this in the 90s and remember using very little because the scent is potent, invasive, elegant, and makes it clear you are there. I will buy it again, but as a nostalgic purchase.

Smells old and is far 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 my love for Tresor remains intact today. Love at first sniff is, and will remain, 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 detect peaches and roses soaked in liqueur; I see it worn by a woman with character and self-assurance, suitable for climates that aren’t too warm. My beloved Tresor, you are my favourite classic.

It’s a perfume that has always, always, and always been in my life. As far as I can remember, since 1994 (when I was four), it has been in my house, my aunt’s house, or a relative’s. I recall being given a miniature and keeping it with my Barbies. I loved opening it and smelling it. I don’t sense any reformulation in the current version, which I bought five years ago; it smells intact, even though I don’t keep it in its box or in the dark. I love how the bottle looks. The aroma is well known: a sweet, vintage-style nectarine. It doesn’t seem old to me; it’s quite wearable today. If you’re used to sugary lollipops, it might be harder for you, but I love it. Perfumes that will always be in my collection, just like Poème and Organza. I wish I could say the same about Anaïs Anaïs. Edit: now that I’ve checked the olfactory pyramid, it does have a lactonic note. It’s simply rich… Hard to innovate nowadays when there are jewels like this.

A scent for someone over 50, giving elegance and personality, not at all youthful, not my taste.

I was gifted this fragrance years ago and at first I didn’t like it; I thought it was very ‘old lady’. Now I absolutely love it. At first spray 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 scent, something unusual for me as I’m more of a gourmand fan.

Roses and sweet fruits, it’s my winter perfume for special occasions or night outs. It has great intensity and lasts a very long time. I consider it vintage. I prefer the newer versions with red berries.

To be honest, I was excited to buy it, glad I smelled it first as I was about to buy blind. It smells like acetone, I thought it was too strong and I didn’t like it at all.

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

I think Mrs Sophia Grojsman creates fragrances with great 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 are also hyperboles when you like something, and that’s fine as it makes us feel good. What’s curious is that there are also people who get offended and personalise others’ opinions just because they don’t like the scent or associate it with older people. With some of Grojsman’s fragrances, and especially with this Trésor, there is a lot of that. If you meditate on it, a sociological reflection is inevitable, but it’s not the place. I think Trésor is a characterful and challenging fragrance. It requires willpower, especially if you’re young, as it’s not a modern scent. It’s intense, especially at first spray. 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 suit some, especially the young. Now, I celebrate seeing young people accepting the challenge and trying things from the past 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 dapper hats leaving a light trail of soapy cologne. I love seeing boys and girls discovering scents in perfumeries, smiling with what they like and making faces with what they don’t. And the truth is, I’m always struck by seeing a young woman buying fragrances like Trésor, imagining her happy and eager to show the world her new acquisition.
