Tresor where oh where have you gone

As a young woman, I owned and loved Tresor for its sophistication and elegance and complexity and sparkle. Passing by the Lancome counter today, I thought to once again include it in my wardrobe. On a fancy, I sprayed Tresor on one arm and Tresor in Love on the other.
Just like me, how Tresor has changed. It is now the screechy stink of rotting apricots left in the sun. It is absolutely rank, and it has been rank for the last 3 hours. It must have changed its genes. Or my skin has changed.
Tresor In Love, on the other arm, went on warm, tea-rosy, powdery, blossomy sweet. After 3 hours, it is a sweet, powdery, dreamy, jammy-nectarine, woodsy delight. Much like my Kenzo Eau de Fleur de prunier - plum, which 50ml bottle I have just raced through as a favourite perfume.

A Guilty Pleasure Hidden Away in a Cookie Jar to Consume When No One Else Is Around

I had a long-term relationship with Lancôme TRESOR, although I basically never wear it anymore. But whenever I catch a whiff of it, a flood of memories filled my mind, back from the time when Isabella Rossellini's image was ubiquitous.

I approached TRESOR with some trepidation (for the purpose of writing this review), not wanting to disrupt all of my past fond feelings for this fragrance. But my worries were for naught, for I still, after all these years, love the sweet rose, peach, and vanilla concoction that TRESOR is to me.

TRESOR, like it or not, was a trendsetter, perhaps the perfume that set off the explosion of sweet scents that have become so prevalent over the course of the past twenty years. TRESOR is an oriental floral in the sweetest sense of those words, for its vanilla infuses a slurry of pineapple and apricot--in addition to a double dose of peach--in which abundant rose petals float along with a few other diverse floral garnishes.

TRESOR is oh-so-sweet, yet oh-so-loveable, a guilty pleasure hidden away in a cookie jar to eat when no one else is around... TRESOR may have been my first comfort scent, and for that reason I hold it in esteem, despite my belief that its allures are somehow superficial. But I still cannot deny, even after so many years, and no matter how hard I try, that I love the way this smells!

Rotting peach? Surely not

I love strong florals, even the headache-inducing, overpoweringly heavy ones. I assumed that I would enjoy this classic fragrance, however this was not so.

When I first sprayed Tresor I had to smell my wrist a couple of times in order to clarify that it was perfume that I was actually smelling. It smelt like decay to me. Rotting fruit, wet sand, stale sweat and mothballs. I will add however that this was from an EDT tester bottle, so the EDP may be a lot nicer. This review may also be on one of the Tresor versions, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Needless to say, I was shocked by what I encountered. A tinge of sweetness later on only made this fragrance more nauseating. Something tells me that this has to be a different perfume, perhaps even an off bottle. I cannot understand why anyone would want to wear it.

In conclusion, thankfully, it's lasting power was very poor.

Trésor....forever.

It is one of those perfumes that has all the personality that marked an era, without a doubt a tribute to the 90s.
Inside it houses a majestic intensity, but with a subtle, delicate and velvety sweetness, like the skin of the fleshiest peaches and the petals of the most beautiful roses.
It was the first perfume we had at home from a prestigious brand. In 1992 my sister went on a study trip to Paris and there she bought this jewel. I, who was 9 years old at the time, when I smelled it I was fascinated.
My mother kept it in her closet, because it was obviously a present that my sister brought to our mother, but every time she left me, I sprayed a little of this perfume in my hair and I became the happiest girl in the world. . . .
Later, in my teens, I also used it a lot, especially on special occasions.
My mother left 7 years ago and in her wardrobe, in the same place, is this treasure, still with a bit of perfume inside, which she kept for special occasions and I can assure you that its aroma is still intact after 30 years.
It brings back such beautiful and special memories of my childhood and adolescence, that I always have it in my collection.

Trésor is a peach in its purest state, in its maximum splendor, at its most beautiful moment of maturity, surrounded by an exquisite floral group in which I perceive a velvety pink and a powdery tone of iris and heliotrope. The background evolves towards a vanilla that is not hostile and a soft, barely perceptible sandalwood.

Personally, I think it is a perfume to use on special occasions, especially in cold times, but why not, also to wear it at any time you like to enjoy it (because it is a pleasure for the senses), for example, in front of a good fireplace reading a good book.

As always, I speak from my sensory and personal experience. Obviously, there are opinions for all tastes and there will be people who this perfume gives a headache, as I have been told on occasion. That's why I recommend trying before you buy, because its intensity can be overwhelming.
....and if you like it, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed....

Unique and feminine

This is the most feminine perfume in the world...It starts with the peach & rose presence involving sweet powdery nuances ....Soft and velvety stays at heart with delicate flower blossoms !
The drying down gets to the woodiness of amber and sandalwood !
I enjoy this scent because i love peach and rose combination in perfumes and this perfume is unique to this !
Romantic,powdery and tender.Three words that describe it the most.
Perfect for romantic wear .It is long lasting.A five stars perfume for me!
