La Nuit Trésor Vanille Noire

This LNT flanker is a unicorn in some countries, mine included. So I bought a 100 ml bottle of it from a foreign site, just like I did with a few other perfumes that I couldn't find in my country. And let me tell you, this flanker of LNT is well worth the wait! It is sinfully delicious, keeping the OG's fruity opening and gourmand depth, but with warm honey, oud that adds a dark, spicy side to the scent, and a scrumptious vanilla that has my eyes close in delight. This vanilla is the sensuous sister of the one in LVEB Vanille Nude. Between LVEB Vanille Nude and LNT Vanille Noire, the latter is the winner. It has more depth, better sillage, and, at least on me, it lasts longer. Now, is LNT Vanille Noire better than the OG LNT? Well, I think it depends on what your tastes are. To me, the Vanille Noire flanker is everything the OG is, and more. I had the OG in the 2015 formulation and enjoyed my 100 ml bottle to the last drop. But somehow I never bought it again after finishing it, as I felt it lacked something. That something is the sultry vanilla and honey in LNT Vanille Noire, rounding up the scent to perfection. In the end, I feel I should add that this perfume is exclusively for gourmand and vanilla lovers. It's like a sweet warm hug on cold wintry days.❄️☃️🎄❤️🔥

I love this!!!! It was a complete blind buy since it is impossible to get in the US. I ordered it off eBay from France. It took weeks to get here. And I was nervous because it was expensive, and I don't like oud. So many things could have gone wrong. But they didn't. It went so right. I don't get oud. I also don't really get leather. What I do get is the most glorious honey-rose. But not even a really cloying rose. Just luxury. Lancome used to sell the best lip balm in their Absolue line - Honey Rose. It's been discontinued and it's impossible to find. But La Nuit Tresor Vanille Noire definitely reminds me of it. It's a winner for me.

I love her. I might be slightly biased with this line because I find them utterly gorgeous - vanille noire is no exception. Like La Nuit Tresor, she has that beautiful sophisticated and warm oriental DNA. But the vanille and oud elevates to an incredibly sexy and seductive level - it's not sweeter or syrupy like the honey note would have you believe. The dry down sees a little more of a woody/earthy note come out to play, but always remains a soft oriental at it's core. I find this more intimate than LNT, but I'm not mad at that. All in all I give her an 9.0/10.

I am very confused with the evolution this perfume has had. I bought it about 2 months ago. I tested it in store and in the beggining it smelled like a deep rich vanilla, dark, sexy, very alluring. Lately I am only smelling the Tresor DNA (which I am not a fan of by the way) Has this happened to anyone? the perfume changing dramatically it ́s performance/notes? I am keeping the "love" rating until I figure out if this is a "climate" issue and it ́s changed because it ́s winter here. But if this remains exactly like this it will become a "dislike"

I love this whole line so my review might be a bit biased. I blind bought this after success from the OG la unit, a la folie and le Parfum. On first spritz I wasn't wowed because it is the og with oud. After two weeks of letting the perfume "rest" I picked it up and gave it another try. It's not that different imo, this is a bit softer which is odd with the oud. they are like sisters that look alike (duh it's a flanker). This is the younger sister, the OG is the middle and the Le Parfum is the eldest and mature sister.

I am bessoted with this. It smells like Parisian nights, it is sexy, arrogant & volatile. I smelled the original "La nuit trésor" and other 2 perfumes from the collection and I wasn't impressed at all. But this one...oh my oud! It is so luxurios, it is one of my favourite perfumes and I hate my terrible pH that makes every perfume unable to last more then 2 hours and have no sillage at all, such a cruel biology trick life played on me while there are perfumes like this out there.

I blind bought this one based on online reviews, and I love it. I am a big fan of vanilla perfumes, this one did not disappoint. I can definitely smell the leather in the opening too. Beautiful fragrance, well blended in my opinion. I love the simplicity of it. It’s moderate projection, and lasts forever on my skin. 10/10, I will use this one for special occasions.

An iconic addition to the Tresor line, strong opening with vanilla and a bit of synthetic Oud ( hard to agree on ) the vanilla will apple within few seconds with the opening, which gives it an identity and a character, dry down turns to be a but soft and light....settles beautifully of the skin, better performance on fabric Over all 9/10

It is so similar to La vie est belle L'Extrait but much more vanilla forward, less rose and less powdery, no patchouli. I am obsessed. This might become the vanilla of my dreams - seems that vanilla oud combo is a magical thing, very addictive 🥰😍🔥. If you like La vie est belle perfumes, especially L'Extrait, you will like this for sure.

This is so beautiful! I can pick up the OG dna but with a twist! There’s no coffee yet it’s still dark and sexy and I love it! Perfect for fall and winter sexy nights! Projection is amazing and lasts six hours at the minimum! The vanilla is not synthetic at all and not overpowering! It’s stunning!

Still has the dna of la nuit trésor, but in a dark, sweet and round manner. It’s quite long lasting but does not have a big sillage. Still I think it’s a good perfume for night and evening especially during autumn and winter. Its feminine leaning in my opinion, and it’s elegant.

I reject most vanilla perfumes on me as they are too sweet but this fragrance had a woody, powdery vibe that increases its sophistication and maturity. Sweet at first, but softens with a woody even slightly leathery vibe. Easily my favorite scent of recent releases.

Very confusing fragrance, the oud gives it a synthethic sour opening. (ruins it). But then comes the honeyd vanilla in the dry down, soft and loud which is beautiful.

WOW ❤️ I'm in love ❤️ This is amaaaaaazing!!!!

I received my bottle in the mail this week (News Parfums are awesome for their fast international shipping and availability of new releases). At first it reminds me of the original but it leans more vanilla, warmer, cozy. This gives me winter vibes and it has a powdery feel to it, reminiscent of the Intense flanker but also Kayali Vanilla Oud. I don't smell the honey in this, it's definitely not giving me JPG Scandal vibes. First impressions are good. I like this much more than last years release, Le Parfum, which I found to be sharp and unpleasant. Overall I think this sits towards the top in my ranking. The EDT is my favourite, followed by A La Folie, Intense and now Vanille Noire. The original amd Dentelle de Roses follow closely behind (more dat night fragrances so not as wearable for every day), then Fleur de Nuit, Musc Diamante (which is just too light, bit a great scent), with Nude and Le Parfum bringing up the rear. I really don't like those last 2.

In short terms, to me it smells like diluted rose petals dipped in honey on an oud board. The syrupy bourbon vanilla is present all the way through. In the opening, there is a demure rose that becomes more discrete afterwards. Soft oud comes in after a few minutes and gives the perfume a true density and character. This is not the common rose-oud-vanilla combo, as it's like 50% vanilla, 30% oud, and 20% rose, whereas usually it's more like 50% rose, 30% oud, and 20% vanilla. Surprisingly, it's not very heavy, and I do think that I will prefer it in the spring or summertime. Even though they don't smell alike AT ALL, Vanille Noire makes me think of a distant cousin of Lattafa Teriaq and Hypnotic Poison. For reference, I wore Hypnotic Poison all through high school, and I feel that Teriaq from Lattafa is a beautiful fragrance but not for me.

This is a true flanker - it has the recognizable La nuit base, but with vanilla and oud. It does what it says on the tin. The oud isn't too strong, as it sometimes can be, isn't in your face, but is giving it that little something in the background. The vanilla is the most noticeable note, fitting for the name. It's scrumptious. It lasted for a few hours easily. The similarity to the original can be viewed as both its strong point and its weakness - it is a great flanker (my pet peeve are 'flankers' that have nothing in common with the original scent except the name), but it might be too close to the base version to justify a purchase. But that's a personal decision. It is a good scent on its own.

Since when Europe needs oud in every single perfume??! Stop this 🤡

This sounded so promising, I blind bought it... expecting a dark, sultry vanilla bomb, dripping with the luscious gourmand goodness that made Trésor La Nuit famous. You spritz Vanille Noire on your wrist, lean in, and... where is it?! This could be rose-infused Evian. The original Trésor La Nuit is beast mode, seductive, call-the-police levels of intoxicating. So are the other flankers I own and love, but Vanille Noire? It whispers in your ear like an ASMR artist and then vanishes into the void. The promised vanilla? Maybe a single vanilla pod waved in the general direction of the bottle. The rose? Oh, it’s there - diluted to the strength of your third attempt at making a cup of tea with the same sad teabag. Longevity? A ghost. Projection? A rumour. Compliments? Only from people who enjoy subtle hints of regret. Lancôme, I love you, but this one? It’s like showing up to a rock concert and getting a bedtime lullaby instead. Hopefully it will develop a bit of strength as it warms up - this review is based on the very first spritz out of the icy cold bottle that was just delivered to my house. So far, though, this is La Nuit Homeopathic Edition.

On paper, it was a gorgeous vanilla that instantly tempted me. On skin, it’s mostly oud and leather. A bold gamble for Lancôme, as I don’t think the general public is particularly fond of oud. Personally, I can’t get into it; though I do pick up the vanilla and rose, they stay in the background, while my skin really amplifies the oud and leather. It’s not overly animalic, of course, but for me, it’s strong enough to keep me from wanting a bottle. Definitely one to test for yourself. P.S.: Since I like to know whether I’m imagining things or not, I checked Lancôme’s website, and yes, there is indeed leather in this fragrance.
