La Nuit Trésor Intense

*edit* another year gone and my full size bottle is finally smelling delicious. This is so much better once it's sat. The longevity is also very good. I wore it the other day in cool weather and it hung around the whole day. Love it! I have been on a bit of a journey with this fragrance. I bought a 10mL travel spray last year when it first came out and I wasn't a fan. The Cherry smelt super synthetic and the overall composition was fairly harsh. A year later and I've pulled it back out again. It has changed, and for the better! The Cherry is much more mellow now and the almond base is more prominent. The Cherry sticks around for the first little while bit does fade into the background eventually, leaving a powdery delicious almond. If you like L'Occitane almond body products the dry down on this fragrance smells just like that! I really enjoy it, so much so that I bought a full size bottle. Now, compared to the other flankers in the range this is most similar to A La Folie. They share a gourmandness that the lathers don't have. The base is also warm amd not particularly floral. I actually get no rose in here. The lasting power of the Intense flanker leaves something to be desired and does not live up to it's name, especially compared to the original which was a powerhouse. This performs more similarly to an EDT and fades to a skin scent fairly quickly. Overall I would still recommend just make sure you know what you're in for!

Got my bottle today and is was love at first sniff. I left all expectations at the door as I wasn't sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. I only get rose in the top but it fades so quickly and I'm mainly left with exactly the notes listed...a beautiful cherry, vanilla and almond. Its sweet, very sweet, as one might expect considering the other LNT fragrances are tooth achingly sweet. But I love it! It does remind me ever so slightly so the Billie Eilish fragrance in the dry down but this is everything the BE fragrance failed to be. The BE fragrance is a plasticky almost chapstick like cherry and vanilla. It's terrible! But the LNTI cherry and almond with vanilla is perfection. They share similarities but one is a hate and one is a love for me. Funny how that works! Highly recommend my U.S. and Canada friends get their hands on this by going to the French website news parfums. It's the only place it can be ordered from and shipped internationally without having a 3rd party intervene which would cost an arm and a leg. The website is only 20 euros for shipping internationally. Fantastic!

IT IS SO SEXY, DARK, STRONG AND YUMMY ! Think of a nice and sweet juicy Black Cherry, that is so yummy, you want to take a bite. This Black Cherry being complimented with a powdery yet creamy Almond Milk and an even more creamier Madagascar Vanilla combination, even yummier !!! And for a more deep render, some delicate hints of Damask Rose and some Woodsy notes. It is intoxicating, I absolutely ADORE it, smells like lust and love in a bottle. So gourmand and sexyyy. It performs really well, I think it highly depends on your skin type, but I agree that it’s really strong you can become noseblind if you spray too much of it. The sillage is awesome as well. It is Intense to me ! I feel like a lady on a mansion with red velvet couches and bed sheets, with a long black dress that hugs the body and super long sleek hair. A dreamy 90’s super model kinda vibe. 100/10 ❤️

This perfume is my absolute favorite perfume. So this was a blind buy. At first it smells like sweet cherry coke with a nice blend of almond pastry or even marzipan. When it starts to dry down it smells warm, sweet and cozy. The cherry and almond smell is still there but a little more subtle and round, with the vanilla becoming more noticeable. It is almost comforting and what i love the most about this one is that it has no patchouli (which i find super-refreshing) since so many others have it and it takes over the whole fragrance. This one is just sweet, fruity, pastry and warm! What's not to love <3 (The only minus is that it's not as longlasting as i wish it was)

I swore and said I would never buy another regular designer fragrance, last week I decided to purchase this because of the cherry note and I am not sorry that did. It will be a play fragrance for me to wear during cooler days. I noticed a lot f negative reviews below, I am never one to buy fragrances based on reviews I mostly rely on the notes accord and other fragrances from the house. If you are interested in this fragrance, my advice is to purchase it. It is a hard to find gem, I was able to purchase my bottle from Fragrancenet for $70, I noticed that Jomashop has it for $69. Enjoy the fragrance and wear it in good health. You will smell awesome!

For user Kon-nos91: Some countries might release perfumes much quicker than others :) I had tried this before we had actual products of it, and yeah, I work in a department store. So there might be people who leave reviews who have already tried it out before it's officially out. I'm only speaking on my behalf though ^^ I reeeeaaally like this one!! I'm usually a hater of cherry, but in this it's actually quite soft and not so off-putting towards my nose as it usually is. It sits on my skin very well. It's very soft, sexy, dark and interesting. I feel really beautiful when I'm wearing it. I can recommend :)

For the first couple of hours it smells very similar to the original La Nuit Tresor and then after a while it starts to smell more softer and I could really smell the almond and vanilla. I was hoping it would be more similar to La Nuit Tresor a la Folie but sadly no. Even though they both have vanilla in the drydown A La Folie is more spicy while this one is more soft almond. Still a very nice fragrance but I prefer the A La Folie.

A beautiful fragrance with a blast of dark cherry in the opening, although the brightness of this note fades and becomes blended in with the perfume as time goes on. The dry down reminds me very much of the original La Nuit Tresor (before the reformulation). It is deeper and less floral than the reformulated version of it - it is exactly what I was looking for. The opening does remind me of La Nuit Tresor a La folie.

This just arrived today and it is delicious! I actually want to eat myself. If you like the smell of marzipan you will love this. While there is a faint scent of the original LNT in the dry down, for me the overriding fragrance is amarretto. Very creamy, very gourmand and quite sweet. and strong Definitely a cool weather scent. Probably one you either love or hate.

I find this to be very, very similar to the discontinued La Nuit Trésor Caresse. If you love Caresse like I do, definitely give this one a go. I'm happy that there's such a similar perfume on the market that I can get once I run out of Caresse.

i really liked it. a great cherry scent. syrupy and sweet, but still lovely. it's pretty mature and serious yet it isn't boring. i'd only use it in formal settings, especially at night (though i do feel it can still be worn during the day)

If you have the OG you do not need this flanker. They are really very similar and this does not add the "intensity" it advertises. But I love the OG so I love this one. It just feels rather redundant to have both.

It’s a love for me . Very good girl glam is very similar I was afraid that it maybe was to mature . But it’s a lovely cherry vanilla sent . Fresh but sweet and warm . Really sexy

Not getting it in The U.S. Confirmed by Lancome Reps. Such a bummer and they're missing out on a massive market who want this fragrance, myself included.

O meeen here we talk about cherry/ vanilla and almond scent!!! Long lasting superb creation I love it. Carefully cuz u become hungry directly 😁

Cherry done right! It's the dna of the original LNT in a cherry flavour. This might be my favourite fruity-rose perfume :)

@seannahuffman I got mine from a company that are official sellers that gets their perfumes directly from the companies who sell them like Lancome and other's. I purchased more than one fragrance from them as well. I didn't have a choice since my options are limited and I'm from the US and it's not available here. Mine isn't a fake and many of us are getting it from the same source for the US. I have almost the whole collection and know them very well to compare them and I tell you this is just a cherried OG La Nuit with a smidge of a la folie. It's nothing new. If the intensity of the cherry and almond in the opening would have lasted longer and overtaken the other notes it would of made LNI very different from the OG and brought something new. Or if they would of made this like a la folie but intensified it and made it last longer that would of been different. But we got none of that. We are not saying it doesn't have cherry it does..it just tones down so low and the almond almost goes away..it completely changes from the beautiful opening and leaves it short lived. It's like smelling the OG but then getting a hint of the cherry through out the whole fragrance that you're like man this is not different enough from the OG. So yeah while it's lovely and I'm using it on a daily bases to test it and do like it..it was kinda disappointing. Many of us were expecting an intense A La Folie with added notes of cherry almond. I keep testing it to see it's performance but I've concluded it's still short lived. I can assure you that you are hearing correctly from all of us. Sorry if it appears so conflicting. It's because it is..and you usually get this when a fragrance is not what people expected or it's not good. It's definitely good and will be great for those new to the collection but for us collectors who have the collection we can see it's nothing new though I'm happy to have it. Imho even though this is subjective I'm happier more with A La Folie which is the best, Nude second best, OG third best or Musc Diamant more than the intense because they are so different. From what I understand the rest in the collection are like the intense version in the sense that it's closer to the OG but lighter or a switch on a certain couple of notes but still feels too close to the OG so for that reason I didn't get those. I can see from their over all experiences they work better for those who like EDT's & like lighter fragrances or want a switch up on a few notes because maybe the other one's didn't work out for them and need that option. Hope this helps with any misunderstanding.

This opens super fruity (in a sort of peach or tangerine type way, I couldn't really pinpoint it), paired with cherry and a fuzzy haze of musk and florals. I couldn't detect with full certainty anything other than the cherry, though; going in blind I actually thought I was smelling some white florals in there! Anyhow, unfortunately I fall in the same camp as a lot of other reviewers - the cherry only sticks around for 10 minutes or so, which is disappointing. Beyond that, this is a quintessential example of "an amalgamation of all the fragrance counters mingling in the air" type of scent, but done in a pleasant way. Usually this kind of scent profile hurts my nose and give me a headache, but this is smooth and extremely pleasant. (Though to be fair I've yet to try any form of Trésor that I didn't like.) After half an hour I'm getting a sort of burnt(?) caramel or chocolate note, which is surprisingly really enjoyable, and thinking on it more reminds me just a smidge of Eilish. I'm very much not into gourmands but this joins the very small group of edible perfumes that I do enjoy! Also, it's one of the very few that make me go "yeah, alright, this one really WOULD be a strange pick for the daytime". Perfumes rarely read to me as day or night appropriate, but this one is definitely dark and alluring and would be great for date nights. As for longevity, I have a feeling after another half an hour it will enter skin scent territory, which makes it utterly laughable that Lancome would dare call this an "intense" flanker. I'll edit if I'm wrong but I can't imagine this will pass the 3-4h mark... A gorgeous perfume utterly let down by its lasting power!!!

Very beautiful sweet jammy rose with cherry and almond. The dry down is a little bit similar to Lost Cherry but by no means is it duplicate. So far it's lasted 14 hours on my clothing, but the longevity on skin isn't so good, not enough to earn the "intense" description. But I've only worn this once, I'll update this review when I've had more time with it. Edit: OK, I've spent some more time with this, and I'm actually shocked that subsequent reviewers think it is strong and long lasting.... Because I don't get that at all! 3 hours on my skin if I'm lucky! Whereas the original La Nuit Tresor is an absolute powerhouse on me, much stronger and longer lasting than 'Intense'. My skin must drink this up, or I must become noseblind to it very fast. Anyway, the cherry is prominent for me, synthetic like cherry drops but NOT medicinal, and the rose is luxurious. Nothing cheap smelling here! I would re purchase but it's a shame I don't seem to be getting the strength that others here are experiencing. ___ I got this because I am in the UK. I'm sorry that you USA folks miss out, but.... There are fragrances and products that you have, that I can't get hold of over here either. This is what it feels like. It sucks we can't all have the same things but you are lucky to get things that many other parts of the world miss out on. Also please do not message me asking to send you a bottle. The postage cost is more than your life.

I used to wear this frangrance in my second year of highschool. It was my signature scent as a wanted to smell like a mature seductive cherry, not the kind of kids like candy cherry scent. Also the preformance was good as it lasted on me for the entire day. Altough the cherry scent is what I would say the opening note, and after it dries down its a more vanilla/tonka sweet scent, definitely leaning on the aphrodisiac side still. I bought this frangrance again a year ago, I still loved it. But as it macerated (I noticed it after 6 months), it changed into a heavy syrupy smell. Not what it used to be. I found out that this new form is perfect to mix with a pure leather fragrance (specifically TF Ombré Leather or any dupe for this fragrance). It gives you a grunge/rockstar vibe, feminine and a bit rebellious. So there's still hope for this one, but beware of that. If you are looking for a in depth cherry fragrance, I don't think this one is the best choice in the long term. But it's still a nice frangrance for cold weather.
