La Nuit Trésor Nude

This fragrance is gorgeous. I got it and went for a car ride with my family. All I could smell is this beautiful fragrance. This is for all the people who love tropical fruit fragrances. This isn't listed in the notes but I swear I smell fruit in this like citrus but also like warm fruit like mango or like the inside of a tangerine with it's pulp like the syrupy side instead of fresh side. It just smells almost like a fruit bowl or fruit cup mixed with coconut not so much that it's mango but a fruity cocktail mix with coconut. It verges on suntan like lotion but it never goes too far where it's the typical lotion scent which makes it even more unique and flexible. It creamy and aromatic because of the vanilla mixing with the coconut. And it's a wonderful Edt that you can use for any occasion because it's easy to wear. I love it so much I want to get a back-up of it eventually. I haven't had anything this fruity nice since Mugler Eau Croisiere 2019 but La Nuit Nude is a different fruity take on tropical and feels more mature than the Mugler one. Try spraying this one and go for a car ride and see how beautiful this is. One of my favorite purchases of the year on top of Musc Diamant though that one is very gentle it's still very pretty for a musc fragrance and very different from my usual purchases. I feel like I have completed my La Nuit line collection of fragrances until they come out with more. So if I were to rate the one's I have from favorite to least favorite this is how I would rate them. All could last longer also on clothes: 1. La Nuit a la Folie-red berry fluffy burbon vanilla edp absolutely gorgeous 2. OG La Nuit-strawberry incense smoky that leans on vanilla on the dry down last the longest edp this competes with Nude now because i'm really loving it. 3. La Nuit Nude-mixed fruit bowl citrus with coconut and vanilla edt very aeromatic and stronger the next day on clothes. 4. Musc Diamant-A gentle skin musky baby powdery violet with raspberry clean and fresh is edp but more like edt 5. La Nuit Intense-rose with cherry, almond & vanilla, very close to OG Update: Nude performs more like a edp. And I may even start liking this over a la folie. I'm not 100% sure yet as I love a la folie but I love it for being so different and smelling so good. I'm actually bumping this up to number 2 and the OG to number 3 as I really like this kind of tropical scent and it last's..it's day two and I still smell it on my clothes..when I got up I could still smell it on my pj's. Very underrated gem of a fragrance. My little private treasure. I just got a back-up bottle I can't live without it. The bottle is stunning as well.

I am simply stunned by the versatility of this fragrance. I would say the most approximate description of this is an exaggerated take on the scent of clean skin. It’s a subtly sweet and slightly creamy clean scent that is both fresh and warm and slightly wet. I know some people hate this adjective but it is a -moist- scent. Smells like clean skin after a steamy hot shower using coconut vanilla body wash and shampoo. Salt is not a listed note but there is a slight saltiness to this that is evocative of light perspiration. Let me reiterate, this salty element is the smell of clean, fresh sweat NOT dirty BO. There is nothing dirty about this fragrance, it is entirely clean... However, this IS a dirty little secret of a fragrance. There’s nothing overtly in your face “Ravage me!” about it and it’s a mild fresh, natural smelling scent with a hint of warmth so it’s entirely appropriate for the office or a family get together BUT the wet skin element is there and can absolutely be evocative of erotic nudity. The salty skin aspect mixed with the gentle, creamy sweetness too can be evocative of the erotic coupling of man and woman. This would be a good scent to wear around a work crush. Obviously, the bottle is quite girly and I would say the scent itself leans slightly feminine however it’s quite a slight lean and I would absolutely call this a unisex fragrance. The sweetness is very light and subdued by the more overt freshness. The natural smelling yet exaggerated evocation of clean skin hints at muskiness. A man could easily wear this to smell clean and sexy without coming off as effeminate at all. Being an exaggerated clean skin scent, this fragrance is appropriate for all occasions and times of day and year as well. Great transition scent for work day into date night. Great for any sort of party and great for luxuriating around the house. Clean enough for spring, wet and refreshing enough for summer (not to mention there is an ever so slight tropical tang to this which will really shine in warmer months), but also warm enough for the colder months. This is basically the perfect clean fragrance and I’m quite happy to have gotten my hands and nose on it.

I blind bought this because I was mesmerized by the bottle, the coconut and vanilla combination (which I love) intrigued me, and the reviews I had read and watched online convinced me. It’s rewarding to smell this on me now. So far, I’m proud of my purchase. I feel like it’s everything I had hoped it would be, and it’s so thrilling to smell all I had imagined come to fruition. Speaking of ‘fruit’, when I first sprayed the bottle, I was immediately engaged. The bergamont was prominent, but it wasn’t screechy. The alcohol did hit my nose, but it wasn’t painful as other perfumes I had previously tried. Right away, there was something pleasant and lovely about this perfume. It also felt high quality, and it didn’t smell synthetic to me. It seamlessly transitioned into the rose note, and it was alluring yet innocent. It reminded me of vintage Hawaii posters from the 1950s, luau parties and hula girls, that type of vibe. It felt Old Hollywood to me. Specifically, I think of Esther Williams in “On an Island with You”, and the middle phase of the perfume is just so dreamy. Now the coconut and vanilla are settling in. It’s warm and cozy, but with the lingering bergamont and rose, it’s bright and romantic. For a second, I thought I was going to get a headache, but all the ingredients are mellowing out and fusing together, and my head’s starting to clear with it. Maybe if there was a con, it would be that it’s a tad too powdery, but it’s sophistication in a bottle. It has a classic perfume smell. It falls under the same category as J’adore for me—super feminine, and there is a maturity about it, but unlike J’adore, there is still a hint of youthfulness and fun. It’s a perfume that’s not trying to be trendy or a crowd-pleaser. It just exists and gets noticed because it’s undeniably a beautiful scent. Not sure about which season to wear it in. It is definitely a tropical scent, so wearing it in the summer should make sense...but I also feel it would be too much for summer in a way...maybe it could be worn in winter too (but not Fall), to bring sunshine to cold days. It doesn’t seem like an everyday scent; it’ll depend on what you’re wearing and the occasion.

My first blind buy ever! Haven’t been able to sample this fragrance in any store because I never find it, but after seeing the notes listed and reading mostly positive reviews I decided to take the risk (on a good price deal ofc). Ironically I only realised it was an EudT after buying it but whatever that doesn’t really bother me. Now it’s here and I’ve sat with the scent for a good 30 min on my arm. The initial notes straight out of the bottle is sweet fluffy air like someone spun cotton candy but in a bright green breezy field. It doesn’t give me gourmand vibes in the first spritz but I definitely smiled immediately knowing I didn’t hate the blind buy. In fact I really enjoy the scent. Now once it’s settled in it gives a pleasant light milky-rose with coconut. It reminds me of an gelato with rose flavour I usually eat in the mall ( I mean this in a good way I swear). It also reminds me of Dior’s absolutely blooming which I have a problematic relationship with, but this one seems more like the younger sister with quite a bit less intensity and a lighter reminiscent touch. This one I can definitely see myself using more than the previously mentioned older sister that I also own. Kind of wish I had known about this one before but I’m glad she’s here now. All in all Id say it’s a successful blind buy that I will enjoy adding to my collection and using more so once the year turns over as this scent isn’t giving me late fall and early winter usage. Also for being an eudT it gives quite a projection more so than a few other EudP I own, ha! *edit when I showered and sprayed it again on fresh skin/Pajamas using about 4-5 spritz it gave me a whole different vibe. Way more coconut water and rose with sweet vanilla. Interesting, I suspect I was wearing something else before that was changing the chemistry. And also when I sat with it for a couple hours it smells the most divine soft coco-rose. The rose sticks around but not obnoxiously, be aware though if you’re not into rose scent.

So I'm the type of person who thinks too much/too gourmand vanilla is nauseating, who largely avoids rose scents as they remind me of old lady smells of my childhood, and who hates 19/20 coconut fragrances I smell despite loving coconut and wanting coconut scents. In every way, I should hate this fragrance, but I actually love it. It's my first Lancome perfume, it was a very successful blind buy based on online suggestions. This fragrance is what I expected Dolce Garden to be, yet what I actually got from Dolce Garden was a nauseating cloying headache that made me immediately sell my bottle. La Nuit Tresor Nude has all the right ingredients and blends - it's smooth, soft, creamy. I mostly get vanilla, which is a true good perfume vanilla, no synthetic fake vanilla scent, not goumand, not cheap. The rose isn't old ladylike at all, it's fresh, gentle, and youthful. The coconut is there, grounding the scent, not overpowering, you actually barely notice it. It only exists to warm, sweeten, and balance the other notes. It isn't that plasticky green coconut either, which I'm grateful for as the plastic coconut is what really ruined Dolce Garden for me. La Nuit Tresor Nude is intimate, yet powerful - I can smell it without desperately huffing my skin searching for a trace. Longevity seems quite excellent. I can't give a good timeframe of how long this lasts because it was still going strong 6 hours after applying, and at that point I needed a shower. I'm the type of person whose skin eats scents, too. I usually avoid EDTs because they perform so badly, this puts every EDT and half the EDPs I've tried to shame. It doesn't stand out, or assert itself in a unique way, yet it smells great. Simple, but expensive. It isn't a "mature" scent nor is it a sugary scent for young girls, it seems pretty ageless and like all girls and women can enjoy this. I'm very happy about this purchase, I will definitely be buying another bottle once I finish this one up.
