La Nuit Tresor Caresse

Ok, I purchased my 'black diamond'. I said I would and I did. The reason? La nuit tresor is a masterpiece and a head-turner. No one can disagree to this but I don't like to smell like everyone and as I said in a previous review I really need of of it's editions to my collection. Lancome mades masterpieces although I don't see much of creativity. You have to choose, creativity or thousands of editions and reformulation. Now fragrantica became something a secret diary that everyone can read your thoughts, likes and dislikes. Let me tell you a secret of mine, perfumes are the idea of smelling unique and be someone close to the character is shown on their adds. The only perfume I loved without second thoughts was Viva la juicy from Juicy Couture and the one I found close to my character Miss Dior for serious occasions and Poison Girl for fun. Why do I mention this? Because it's so true and I find, at least for my taste that the perfect perfume must be gourmandish, slightly floral and strong enough. I have no problem for those who love pure florals or have the ideal of the absolute rose, jasmine etc. La nuit tresor Caresse is a perfect hug and how I agree with one said compared to the original that is something like a silent lover, not a loud one. I bought it, I use it, I am sure it will be one I will use till the end without regrets as 90% of my perfumes are almost full (problem I know) and in one word, my feeling is: SUCCESS. Let's go straight to the review but let me tell you that I find the original a little bit too much, the EDT newest edition completely different with a touch of the original nectar character and I fall in love with oldest sister Tresor-Midnight Rose! Wish me I won't buy it cause soon I will test it on my skin and I though I like it a little bit more than Caresse!! The actual review: A lighter version of the original Goddess of seduction and femininity. Rose plays a good role on it but orchid and a perfect soft patchouli give that something to it's base. Vanilla and tonka bean end the perfume after 3-4 hours. Sillage isn't that fine, longevity is very good and although I don't believe in seasons for perfumes, this could work perfectly in spring or let's say normal temperature and sunny days. I can really detect all of the notes listed above. The peppery touch, lichi-raspberry...bergamot, jasmin and almond are almost not present. So in a few words it's a soft spicy with fruity-floral gourmand body. Hard to achieve a combination of these notes and have an excellent result as with Caresse edition. Romantic, ideal for dates, not too much 'on your face' like the original, playful, feminine but not sexy, present but not loud, soft but not weak, night lover but not bossy or rebellious. I am glad I have it in my collection and I am sure they won't discontinue it. Can't wait to use it to seduct some people I have in mind. xoxo

And the time has come. I love Lancome, who doesn't? I admitted in the past, I wish Lancome could make my signature perfume since I've never met a sillage similar of this house nowadays. This is my 2nd actual review as my first one was about my excitement to try it. When I first smelled, I said ok. Then, seriously guys? And I mean it, seriously? This is not identical but so close to La vie est belle. The more I smell it the more I believe it. Not even close to Tresor La nuit. It lacks that nectar-type of juicy sweetness and seduction. This is EXACTLY: La vie est belle Florale EDT edition, but softer, a bit frutier and gourmandise. I have seen so many times people accusing Lancome for relaunching the same perfume with thousands of edition. See La vie est belle that for me is an absolute hate due to a 'friend' and the fact I can smell it everywhere. Not that is bad but this is my opinion straight from my heart. Tresor La nuit EDP is way better if you're looking for a masterpiece. Maybe it's my nose or notes of Lancome that trick me. Patchouli, litchi, vanilla, rose and maybe orchid is what I can smell. Nothing new so decide: 1) A mix of LVEB EDT+ Florale EDT or 2) La nuit tresor without what makes it special. I strongly believe that right answer is 1 since I can smell osmanthus. See LVEB Florale's EDT page and you'll notice by yourself how similar it's notes are. It's all about marketing guys, Florale is not that famous so by watering down it's juice and adding a touch of orchid, soft berries and vanilla, voila: Caresse is here! From La nuit tresor EDP, LVEB Florale EDT and La nuit tresor Caresse, I could easily add to my collection a bottle of the last one just to have a perfume of it's type. Hope you've enjoyed my review and remember, don't be a victim! p.s: Fragranticans please review more so we're not dying to try a new perfume and then be disappointed. xoxo

I have a feeling I will love this. Lancome's perfumes, either we want it or not, aren't actually the best one, but the most long lasting. Quality or just how the perfumes should last and radiate? I wish I could take my favorite perfume to Lancome's perfumers and tell them: Please, make it last like it's your! - La vie est belle is not a bad perfume, it may has a huge sillage and a great longevity but Jesus! Ok, men love it, women also because it has everything but so many editions, weared by everyone and that mix of sweet/dirty notes makes me dislike it easily. - Tresor la nuit, it's aphrodisiac! It's the word it describes this perfume 100%. It does remind slightly LVEB but if I had to choose, you know already my answer. The only problem? It doesn't make me feel something special. It's just a perfect nectar, sweet/light patchouli gourmand. La nuit tresor Caresse? Please people review it! I really wanna know. The only thing scares me is rose. Why did they remove praline & caramel and some other cool notes? I don't care, I couldn't smell them anyway in the composition haha. What I believe? Hope it stays closer to the original Tresor la nuit but in a fresher way. I see tonka bean that parties hard on my skin, almond - trend of 2016 and white musk. Pink pepper for sure will be the fresh touch and raspberry a nice fruity surprice. The rests are just the same. Mixed feelings for some notes missing and curiosity for the newer added. Anyway, I'll spray my self with my latest 100ml bottle of Poison Girl and I'll try to sleep tight.

I was sent a generous sample of this from a very kind Fragrantican and friend and at first sniff found it extremely similar to the original La Nuit Tresor, which is one of my favourite perfumes. For me the lychee and raspberry notes are dominant in Caresse and overall it's a sweeter, lighter and fruitier scent than the original. The almond blossom note is a really nice addition here. Personally I do prefer the richness of the original and just find La Nuit Tresor a bit more interesting, unique and special than Caresse. That said, I would still love to get a full bottle of Caresse and would like to know which international retailers who stock it will ship to the UK, as from previous experience I don't expect to see it in stores over here anytime soon. EDIT I blind bought a full bottle of this online and have been wearing it nearly every day since! It is absolutely gorgeous and so wearable. The weather where I am is cold now, the seasons are changing from Autumn to Winter, but I can imagine wearing this all year round and think it would be perfect for Spring and Summer too. It doesn't have as much sillage as La Nuit Tresor, it's softer and more delicate. It gives me the same sort of vibe as La Vie Est Belle L'EDT Florale. Really beautiful.

" You, even without this, you will never forget me..." It was his words, someone that I was and maybe I am still in love with, that now comes in mind and really hurts. I remember choosing this perfume for our first meeting. Maybe I was stressed enough not to remember if Caresse was radiating in his car. It was late at night, the temperature was quite high and in a few days I had my last exam. We were talking about a chapter of the subject of my exams that finally was my main question asked by the professor. I've got an excellent score. Karma, you know? Why do I mention all this? Because a perfume is equal to memories. That's what it should be and that's why I am obsessed trying to find the perfect one. I will be very honest with you. La nuit tresor EDP is way better than Caresse. Way more seductive, complex and addictive but I wanted something strong and not used by every single human I know out there. They do have many similarities but Caresse, since here is it's page, is kind of fresher, not that sweet and trully mature. Though, it's more romantic and good enough for every occasion. Key words: pink pepper, tonka bean, orchid, a vanillic almond blossom, raspberry and patchouli. p.s: I will re-purchase it and meet you again soon!
