La Nuit Trésor Intense Lancôme 2022

With the first spray, unaware of the fragrance pyramid, I am immediately struck by the scent of cherries. The opening is undoubtedly characterized by an intense, sparkling cherry note - somewhat dark, sweet, and very intense. As in many of the popular cherry fragrances, I perceive the cherry, especially black cherry, as syrupy. At that moment, I thought I had found a perfume made specifically for those who love cherry scents. But then, after about 15 minutes, something changes. A familiar note joins in, and I feel my nose wrinkle. The scent seems to age by the second and then mutates into an "old lady scent." I love roses as a fragrance note, but as often happens with rose, it can easily drift into that old-fashioned direction, and that’s exactly what happens here. It stays like this for about 2 hours.

Towards the end, the rose becomes a bit less dominant and even reveals a hint of tuberose, which reminds me of N.R. For Her Musc Noir Rose. That’s a nuance I actually like. Unfortunately, this nuance is only the transition to the base. The lingering scent is vanillic, but not marked by almond milk, rather fruity. Somewhat boring and synthetic like a flavor in candy.

All in all, my experience with La Nuit Trésor Intense is like a bumpy ride. This perfume seems unsure about which audience it wants to appeal to, and the various nuances are not harmoniously connected.
