Trésor

Exactly why I LOVE it! based on review right below) EDIT 5-2104 - That review has been down rated and removed I suppose. The one below mine now is not the review I was referring to on original post which described it as "women over 35" and "generic, powdery, floral potting soil." Afterall, women over 35 can't help but adore smelling like generic, powdery, floral potting soil. Depends undergarments, mothballs and rotten cedar too. Don't forget those. Your review just helped me decide on the largest edp I can find. It will surely be my new signature. I can't wait. It's perfectly fine to not like Tresor.. but are you serious? Have you sampled the vintage 90's version, the original? It's damn gorgeous as it gets. Vintage Tresor is bright and sparkly... like it's name "treasure", and one of the silkiest, richest, finest, classiest perfumes in the world (my opinion). The composition is so well blended it is hard to detect particular notes. The rose in Tresor is velvetty and phenomenally special. Using blue/purple florals rather than yellow the mix is exquisite. I love the smell of but cannot tolerate wearing yellow florals such as Poeme without a feeling of nausea and suffocation. Ironically both Lancôme masterpieces, seems there is a likeness in composition; well rounded, masterfully blended, both intensely ripe in the perfect way... Tresor is amber/gold in color but has a rose/lilac/orris smell. Though beautiful, Poeme is completely yellow and overwhelming to/on me as in the way of feeling as if I have fallen into a casket of honeysuckle nectar and buried alive in it. It stifles while Tresor breathes in enough fresh green somewhere to offset the burial feeling. The two are different scents and my intent was not a comparison review but an assessment of yellow floral vs purple on my skin and to my nose. I smell a lovely carnation in Tresor though it is not listed. It is sweet as can be in a decadently rich, super femme fatale glamorous way and it is concentrated. Using lightly is suggested. Sillage is forever. I am working on my own fragrance for the younger women who decide which way a woman should smell at a certain age. It is comprised of only three notes; none of that complex 35+ stuff - Fruit Loops, cotton candy and marshmallows with a possible hint of bubblegum. (Still undecided on that as yet; a toss-up between bubblegum and Skittles). It will be called "Tinkerbell Sensuelle" or "Lollipop Lolita". Enjoy! ;)

Launched in 1990 and created by the legendary nose Sophia Grojsman, Trésor is not simply a perfume: it is a monument of liquid perfumery, a manifesto of absolute romanticism that marked an era and which continues, decades later, to enchant. Its inverted pyramid bottle, reminiscent of a rough and precious diamond, contains an amber-colored liquid that promises (and maintains) timeless elegance. A Triumph of Peach and Rose. Trésor is the undisputed king of floral-oriental perfumes. Its structure is famous for not following the classic linear evolution, but for gravitating around a monumental agreement. As soon as it is vaporized, Trésor hits the senses with a velvety and fruity sweetness. It is not the fresh and juicy fruit that modern perfumes have accustomed us to; it is a peach in syrup, warm and ripe, enveloped in the softness of apricot peel. In a few minutes the true beating heart of the fragrance emerges: a powdery and opulent rose, made almost creamy by iris and heliotrope. There's an "old-time makeup powder" feel to it, incredibly sophisticated and reassuring. The base is a warm and enveloping embrace of vanilla and amber, which blends with the skin creating a sensual, intimate but very powerful aura. It smells of warm skin, of sincere hugs, of a mature, aware and welcoming femininity. Trésor is a child of the 90s, an era in which perfumes had to get noticed. Duration: Extraordinary. On the skin it easily exceeds 8-10 hours, while on clothes (especially coats or scarves in winter) it can last for days. Sillage (Sillage): Intense. It's a fragrance that fills the room. Very few sprays are enough to be noticed, so the advice is to dose it carefully. It is perfect for the evening or for cold days when you are looking for a "cashmere sweater effect". It's not a "youthful" fragrance in the modern sense (no hints of marshmallow or cheap caramel); It beautifully dresses a person who loves classic elegance, romantic nostalgia and who is not afraid to wear a perfume with a strong personality. Trésor is a masterpiece of perfumery. It may seem "important" or even retro for those accustomed to today's light waters, but it remains a "treasure" in name and in fact. It is the scent of romantic love, timeless and precious. If you love powdery notes, rose and peach, this is your holy grail.

This is a beautiful reformulation of the vintage original vintage the first edition from 1952. One spray or two and you're in a gorgeous scented cloud. This is a very grown up, sweet, and lovely feminine fruity floral scent. Because it has bergamot orange, apricot and vanilla, to me this is a gourmand as well. This opens with a sweet and soft peach and tangy apricot and orange pair. Bright, happy, delicious. It has for a moment, especially when the florals come through, a kind of aura a bit like Yves Saint Laurent Paris; but in a different way of it's own. The fruit fades away but the peach lingers on a bit. Then the apricot blossom opens the door to the floral bouquet aroma that follows. I am smelling lilacs and roses (pink) and a distinct heliotrope and iris. These are flowers I really love so to have them all in one fragrance is Heaven. Absolute Heaven. The vanilla begins to jump up from the base. Now it's a gourmand vanilla, with some warm touches of spice, some amber, sandalwood and musk. This perfume is powdery. But not terribly powdery. The feeling it creates is of a young and very pretty1950s suburban mother, quite lovely in a floral print dress, in spring and summer time, at a garden party. The dress might be bright yellow or orange with flower pattern nor polka dots. She has coiffured hair, pretty colored nails, very good make up, and is like Betty on Mad Men; or Donna Reed. The image of a stereotypical fifties domestic goddess who kept the house spotless, cooked all the meals, did the shopping, raised the kids, and loved her husband. Today with a more 'happy wife happy life' one sided kind of thing it's good to feel like a very happy housewife that this perfume makes me feel like. And that's not a bad feeling to have either, even in a scent. It has a 1950's retro feel but for the time of it's release, quite wearable for the 90s. Today it is outdated so you'll definitely stand out wearing it. I think it smells great at picnics in spring and early summer. The scent is long lasting for hours and hours (over 5 and 6) and has very good sillage but its subtle if applied the right way with a light touch. I find this perfume to be so delicious and beautiful. May this one never be discontinued like it's original vintage.

Sometimes I feel like there's just no hope for society. Like now. Trésor, a masterpiece of perfumery has a 3.65 rating while Squismallows Pink Possibilities has 3.9?!? And the utterly shameless cash-grab that is Bath & Body Works Bridgerton Diamond of the Season has a rating of over 4?!? We've all lost our collective minds. Not only does Trésor define an era, and not only was it created by one of the greatest noses in history, but it is a work of art. I have to wonder if people are just spraying it on a tester and going from there. This perfume must have the warmth of skin. It doesn't sing on clothes or test strips- or wrists really. I spray it in the center of my body and it becomes an absolute scent orchestra. Admittedly, like many Grosjman creations, the opening is challenging. I get a slightly pungent sandlewood and a very earthy, rooty Orris. On first sniff I didn't love the opening - or understand it - but after a couple tests it struck me as feeling quite organic and it's grown on me now that I know what follows. That rooty aspect fades gradually over 30-45 minutes and the next phase is a tapestry of autumn hued scents - no single note stands out, the blending is expert - but the overall mood is of warmth and afternoon sunlight and of smiling, loving, slightly blousy aunts. Ina Garten would wear this. I had trouble finding the peach at first because its not fresh or dessert-sweet - more like a peach that's been poached in rosewater. The last phase is the Iris - cosmetic and a bit waxy. It hits a good 7-8 hours after application and it smells like high-end face cream with a little SPF. I love it. All of the comments about over ripe fruit and cloying sweetness baffle me. In an age of nuclear sugar bombs, this could almost be considered a chypre 😆. The scent is ostensibly dense and complex, especially at first - but the heart has such a warm cosmetic scent, that I'd almost classify this as something for clean girls. Luca Turin gave this a 4/5 and described it as "the trashiest, most good natured pink-mohair-sweater....thing imaginable". I suppose it's insolent of me to disagree, but I'm a practical, L.L. Bean, farm-co-op-type of New Englander who generally loves skin-scent musks and I think it suits me perfectly.

An old school classic, which despite being a scent made for ladies, I love to spray it on me and be emcased in its vintage aura (Powdery peach musk with some woodiness, veiled in a rose that comes across as dusty, and I mean that in the nicest way). Whenever I use this fragrance, which is generally when I am at home after an evening shower, the fragrance transports me back in time to growing up in the 90s And early 2000s, which is the main reason I got this fragrance and will keep around coz of this. I've worn this fragrance out maybe three times max and I've gotten a compliment or two, though a few times I was told that I smell like one of their grandparents, (which I don't mind as to me smelling old is nothing to make me go cold, I love classic scents). Though recently I have noticed a change in perception towards this scent, and a few other classics, it's almost as if younger generations are starting to open up to old school scents. So now is a good time to use something others would consider a old persons perfume (that statement is rubbish in my opinion). Old is gold and tresor is indeed a treasure, so let the others smell modern with their current releases and modern bestsellers, and go against the norm and try out Tresor or any other 80s 90s or early 2000s fragrance heck even older the better, and smell new against what's currently hip and happening. Opium, Aramis, Tresor, Poison, Chloe Narcisse, Chanel no 5, White linen, Davidoff Cool Waters, Joop Femme, etcetera are just a few of countless vintage scents that in 2024 smell new and trailblazing as opposed to going with the trend. Longevity 6-8 hours Projection arms length. Overall an 8/10 in my books. Old is Gold and tresor is quite a treasure.
