Trésor (new)
Lancôme (1990)

Surprisingly lovely especially after dry down. I do not find this sweet at all. I definitely smell the peach, lilac and some pineapple. I do smell sandalwood in the dry down. I am happily surprised at how lovely this does smell! I will wear this for a few more days to be sure, however I do believe I will buy a bottle!

I have the eau de toilette version.

It's a floral fruity thing on the top. The middle reveals a greenish lilac note and something akin to powder. A little more green as it settles down in the heart. The base, I smell sandalwood and vanilla. Tresor is wearable for me but, nothing extraordinary.

A bitter fruit and flower opening that softens with time into something sweeter, powdery and attractive. Very “nice”, gentle. And good, all in all.

This, I believe, is an extremely similar scent to Skintimate Shave Gel (the one in the pink can). It took me a minute to remember, but all of a sudden I was transported back to my youth when I was beginning to shave my legs and test out the waters of womanhood.

It's a soft powdery floral (rose, jasmine) with a hint of peach. A tiny bit of sandalwood gives the warmth to allude to the end of Summer. I'm not normally fond of fragrances that have powder as a considerable portion, but this is really lovely.

This is gorgeous. I bought it for my mother -we should all be tested on why do we all relate this fragrance to our mothers- five years ago and I grew fond of it; it was my grown-up aspiration.

It's peaches and apricots, jasmine and roses, and vanilla and amber; a dreamy blend of sophisticated, sweet, and strong notes. Starts with golden radiance and unfolds beautifuly into a nice powdery scent. Lasts +12 hours on my skin and has reakky good sillage.

I always get lots of compliments with Tresor. This one hits the "fun and flirty" cathegory of my wardrobe; daytime casual or evening event appropiate, ideal for warmer months. I feel dressed whenever I wear this one, whether I'm wearing a little black dress for a fancy dinner or jeans and blouse for an evening downtown.

Trésor is another in perfumer Sophia Grojsman's line of powdery, ultra-sweet, fruity rose scents, alongside Kashâya, 100% Love, Yvresse, and Jaïpur. I find it the most obviously chemical (i.e. cheap smelling?) of the lot, and ironically, though not coincidentally, the easiest to live with. It so happens that the chemical edge on Trésor's rose note leaves me feeling less like I'm suffocating in fruit custard than I do wearing Yvresse or Kashâya. That's not to say that I enjoy Trésor. It's merely the one among this crowd I'd least object to someone's wearing near me.

For anyone who's wondering, after my reviews of Kashâya, 100% Love, Yvresse, and now Trésor, please be assured that I hold nothing personal against Sophia Grojsman. Indeed, I've never met her, and I assume that she's a lovely person. It's just that over the course of a decade or two, from Calyx to 100% Love, she developed a remarkably consistent and distinctive style – one I do not happen to enjoy. (I can say the same thing about Ravel, Mark Rothko, and Saul Bellow.) I'm still waiting for the Sophia Grojsman composition I can love. Perhaps Paris, Beautiful, or Vanderbilt will be “the one.”
