Trésor Midnight Rose

This perfume is special to me. It was the first perfume I bought that really got me hooked on fragrance and started my collection. I was 19, had some spare Christmas money to spend, and was shopping at the mall with my mom. I saw Lancome had a special going on where if you spent at least $50, they’d give you a free makeup bag filled with various trial-sized makeup and skin care products. So I thought to myself, “How hard can it be to spend $50 at a Lancome counter?” and started browsing the various potions and elixirs without hesitation. The SA soon stopped me and held up this beautiful purple bottle adorned with a silky dark rose. “Have you smelled our latest release?” she asked, spraying it on a card. “Emma Watson is the face of this perfume, I think you’ll like it.” I remember smelling it on the card and thinking it smelled pretty good. I hadn’t bought a real perfume in what seemed like forever and I *did* like Emma Watson after all. “Eh, what the heck” I thought, and told the SA I’d take it. I didn’t think too much about my impulse buy, as it was essentially a Christmas gift. Later that night, I pulled my new perfume out of its box, admired its pretty bottle for a moment, and sprayed it on my wrists at once. I was immediately hit with a beautiful, luscious, juicy black currant, raspberry, and rose combo that was sensual and intoxicating. I breathed in deeply as the scent started to change, a bit more vanilla and musk peeking through the jammy berries and rose. I was taken aback. I didn’t remember it smelling nearly as delicious in the store when I smelled it on paper. It melded with my skin so perfectly and I was overwhelmed with emotion as I inhaled it. Never before had I smelled a perfume like this! I know for some of you perfume connoisseurs, you might think, “This is just another typical jammy mainstream release, what’s the big deal?” and so it may be to some people. I myself have discovered other fragrances that I love more than this one but at the time, Midnight Rose was the most special fragrance I had smelled in my life. Bear in mind, I had never truly ventured into the world of perfume before and I had no idea what was in store for me both literally and figuratively. This little gem, however, planted a seed in my heart. I adored it so much, I hated wearing it because I never wanted it to end. It made me hungry, ravenous even, to discover what other captivating fragrances were out there that I had been missing out on my whole life. Thus, my love for perfume was born and I’ve never looked back. I still have this very bottle, the first bottle I bought and I pull it out occasionally and spray it on and it fills me with so much nostalgia and happiness. It will always have a special place in my heart and I don’t think I’ll ever want to be without a bottle of this. I think I’ll wear it today, for old times sake. :)

Oh-My-God. A GORGEOUS raspberry-and-rose elegant intoxicating concoction. When they say this is THE raspberry-and-rose OG, they're not wrong. This is amazing. This has so many notes I love, and being able to actually identify them - AND have them come together to create such a beautiful scent is SUCH a treat! <3 The raspberry and rose blend is absolutely divine! It's fruity, syrupy and tart (not sharp at all; just slightly salivating). The sweet vanilla is gentle and never overwhelms. That cassis - Jesus! Easily one of the best I've detected in a perfume (still included is "Si", mind you). That peony adds to the delightful feminine prettiness! Gorgeous slight musk and calming cedar base provides a heavenly, warm tone. I only wish for greater projection! I mean, longevity is fairly decent; could be better. But PROJECTION, daaahrling! As a side note: This is - hands down - my *favourite* perfume to spray (and catch later whiffs of) in my hair. It's just so pretty, and intoxicating, and sexy that it's a perfect scent for hair when you throw a little hair-flip in that flirtatious conversation. Or something to catch somebody's attention as you waltz by. Am I wrong here? :P I'm terrified of using this perfume up, but it's SO repurchase-worthy! It's pretty, it's sexy, it's elegant, it's mesmerising, it's 'Good Girl' AND 'Bad Girl' in one. This is Cinderella Gone Gothic. *** Kitty rating: 9.5/10. ~Compliment Counter~: 1 compliment 😁

I see that a reviewer has claimed that Tresor Midnight Rose is identical to Mugler's Angel Nova perfume. She says that this is sweeter and lasts longer but that Nova is more spicy and smells a little bit metallic. That is VERY contradictory! How can this GORGEOUS perfume smell identical to Angel Nova, yet apparently Angel Nova smells spicy and metallic?? Tresor Midnight Rose is neither of those things. It is fresh, rosey / raspberry'ish and very warm and feminine - the total opposite to spicy and metallic! Also, it's youthful yet another reviewer says that, to her, it's only for someone over 60! There are NO rules and limitations on age groups with perfumes - people can wear what they like, whatever their age! Those two reviews alone show how really a lot of reviews need to be taken with a pinch of salt and that perfumes can smell very different to different people, and that everyone has their own unique chemistry that brings out different aspects of perfumes on their skin. I haven't tried Angel Nova yet but I am curious to see for myself if there is any similarity at all to Tresor Midnight Rose. I normally really dislike Mugler perfumes though (especially Angel which is vile and massively overrated!) so I'll probably hate it, but I LOVE Tresor Midnight Rose. To me TMR is beautifully unique smelling and can't be bettered!

Tresor Midnight Rose came to my notice because I was looking for a pretty raspberry rose, and a lot of people here recommended this one to me. I tried it in the store on paper and got hooked. I couldn’t stop smelling it. After holding the tester strip to my nose for two hours straight I knew I had to get this one. I bought the bottle two weeks later. To me, this perfume is an enigma. The opening is fresh but there’s an underlying spiciness to it - I don’t want to use the word smoke because that would turn people off. I get a dark berry, not necessarily a raspberry in the beginning but later it’s also very woody on me, probably from the cedar. The bottle fits the perfume so well. It’s a sultry one, this rose. I’m reminded of an intimate boudoir with dark velvet drapes and the colour purple. The woman’s lying on her bed with satin sheets, wearing a black silk robe, fiddling with the stalk of a blood red rose. In the dark, it looks almost black. I don’t think this is a safe blind buy, for to me this is bold. Not the scent itself, but the vibe it gives. The dry down is gorgeousness itself, but you’ve got to give the opening some time. Should you ever try it, don’t have any preconceived notions. Let the perfume take you where it wants to.

In some ways this reads of as those violin resins to me strangely. We use this one with mom and it smells different depending on who wears it, and i dont know if it's about the distance or about skin chemistry or something but like I think it smells better when mom wears it but she also says it smells better on me lol. I feel like on me (whether on skin or clothes) its like, resin, sharp and sour, dark but not in a goth way more like blurred and subdued expression of florals and fruits. When mom wears its like rosy, princess-y, perfume-y like there is a "basic" perfume vibe to it even tho i dont mean it in a bad way. I dont think tresor midnight rose is a soft perfume, it has a sharp vibe, like to me it feels like you need to dress sleek wear heels or something even though like musk too is listed. Even tho I like it better when mom wears it I also can like how it smells on me too, I dont have anything so similar to this. But like there are definitely much more rosy perfumes out there whether it's a typical rose perfume or newer ones, I feel like tresor midnight rose is probably meant to be some sort of botanical mix instead of just giving you roses

Opening is really like an explosion, so intense, smells very much like a mix of rose and raspberry but also it has a powdery feel. There is a syntheticness but not as in like the artificial aroma of raspberry candy or gum, the raspberry smells like a real fruit however there is always an accompanying vibe of something synthetic in Midnight Rose. Plasticky. Reminds me of Si Rouge for that quality, although I don't think they compare much to each other apart from the plasticky-ness feel. I feel like it's a very complex perfume that is a mixture of a variety of notes even though the most prominent note throughout your entire wear is definitely rose and peony. I like how it smells after a couple hours or longer. I prefer it more than the explosive feeling of opening. Powderiness and sweetness wear off and you're left with a floral but grounded vibe. I like that it has a hint of sweetness in overall without being too much like a dessert. I think it could be worn any season but I'd say suits winter the most. For an equally beautiful but much less crowded and "cleaner" feeling version, I recommend Zara - Black Peony.

My mother is a classy lady who loves fragrances that are sweet, strong, and intoxicating. She likes to announce her presence wherever she goes with her fragrances. A few months ago, she asked me to find her a fresh scent for her casual activities in the morning, such as going to the supermarket, working out lightly, or having brunch with her friends. She insisted that it had to be "fresh, strong, and sweet". One day, I was shopping at the mall and I remembered her request. I checked out some fragrances and saw one on sale at the Lancôme counter: Trésor Midnight Rose. I knew right away that my mom would love it, so I bought it and gave it to her as a gift. Trésor Midnight Rose is a sweet but not cloying fragrance that combines clean musk and sweet raspberry rose. It has a fresh vibe to it that suits my mom’s request. And, she loves it and wears it often in the morning. She says she gets a lot of compliments from people who smell her fragrance, and my dad and my sister like it too. I’m glad I found her the perfect fresh fragrance.

This is really easy to like. I vividly remember when I first entered the fragrance world 7 years ago, this was one of the very first perfumes I tried in the shop, and I liked it a lot. Back then I had really basic palette for scents, and my taste since evolved a lot. Nonetheless, I decided to finally buy this now, based on that memory, AND the fact that this is now being compared to Angel Nova edt, which I had and liked, but was too sharp for me. I liked the cedar wood the most in Nova, and I was very intrigued this has it too. So now I got it and it is still very easy to like. The cedar wood is prominent in the opening and the raspberry too. Very very nice. It is a very famous Lancome scent, so I expect high longevity and a decent projection, I hope I’m not wrong. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, the price was nice considering the brand, and the scent is absolutely perfect for the summer. Juicy fresh and sweet

I can’t help but fall in love with this one. I used to always spray it on when I passed by department stores. I wanted it so badly but couldn’t afford it back then. It starts off kind of sour, almost like sour candy, and that’s exactly what drew me in. I love sour candy. After about 30 minutes, a sweet, jammy rose takes over, and I cannot stop smelling it. I know it’s a bit generic and not really in my usual wheelhouse. I always thought rose was boring, but it turns out, it just needs to be done right, always with something sweet or some kind of twist. I'm not big on rose as a standalone. I’ve realized that so many of the fragrances I’ve always been into have rose in them. Some of them are more quote on quote boring, though, (Parisienne.. cough cough) so who am I to say? I don’t care how “boring” this is. I’m always going to carry a bottle with me. And seriously! Look at the bottle. It’s a goth girl’s dream. 🖤

What a lovely raspberry scent! Longlasting and sillage is strong. I sprayed it once on my winter coat's sleeve, I can smell it still after one week. Other notes come behind raspberry, it's warm and juicy scent. I tested this once in summer, it wasn't so good then comparing to what it is during colder months. Just got this today. I love many Trésor flankers and have now four of them (including the original), except there was something I didn't like about Trésor Lumineuse. I could use just Trésor flankers :D: in spring and summer Trésor in Love, the original and La Nuit Trésor Nude, during colder months La Nuit Trésor, the original, La Nuit Trésor Nude and this one. Well, that was just my thought play, of course I have also other favourite scents.

Admittedly I am super rose obsessed, and also I am super rose + raspberry obsessed --- which is a different thing to be than just being rose obsessed --- and I have maybe too many rose and raspberry combo perfumes but this perfume has a very distinct vibe. A couple actually. One of them is Natalia Oreiro - Cambio Dolor. The other is like being a novelist in early 20th century Paris. I tried Angel Nova and I am not yet buying it now even though I loved it and considering it for future purchases. They do start very similar but in general I feel like Tresor Midnight Rose has some bitterness alongside all the syrupiness and rose vibes, and feels more grown up compared to Angel Nova.

I don't like the original Tresor and I wasn't expecting much when I tested this.But I LOVED it. It's a guilty pleasure perfume. It is very sweet, almost juvenile and you feel slightly silly for liking it so much. But I do. I do! It's a very sweet, fruity rose perfume. It makes Delina smell mature and "un-sweet". But it absolutely works. It's a fun perfume, a happy perfume. For people who love fruity rose perfumes and want it to be cranked up a little. I do not know how long it stays or how well it projects as I have only tested it on a paper sampler at an airport, but from what I managed to test there I really liked it. It's a cute, happy, cheerful, fruity rose perfume.

I pulled out Tresor Midnight Rose after not wearing it for at least a year or two. I thought it might be nice to wear it for Thanksgiving, and I have not stopped wearing it since! Now I can’t get enough! I have rediscovered the magical scent that enchanted me when I first bought it several years ago. Yes, the raspberry and rose are delightful, but there’s just something about that Virginia Cedar note that I just can’t get enough of! It smells like nothing else, and I love it! It has especially good staying power on fabrics. It’s probably a little too strong for spring and summer. Tresor In Love serves me well in those seasons.

You people have got to stop blind buying. Anyways, she’s so me. Sweet, jammy and fruity rose and super feminine, with the color pink mixed in, but with a smoky incense that stops it from being juvenile. In my collection, she’s most similar to very good girl. She’s just a slightly darker/smokier fragrance. You might be unable to tell them apart sometimes. But this one is definitely heavier, definitely more syrupy. You get raspberry here, while very good girl is more of that tropical fresh lychee. It smells good on my skin. Maybe some people’s DNA just doesn’t mix. Or some people should shower before they spray.

Everything I've tried in the Tresor line has been a love so far, and this is no exception. I feel like the bottle tells you almost everything you need to know about this fragrance. It's dark and sultry, with the soft and sweet rose feeling as if it could be no other color besides purple. The raspberry and cedar notes blend expertly with the rose to create depth and interest. But there also definitely jasmine and peony here, making it a floral that goes beyond simple rose. While it works in warmer weather, it comes alive in colder weather, bringing its own warmth. This would be a great date night scent.

Although for some reason I cannot see many women wearing it, I would definitely say that this one is a compliment getter, and I would repurchase it again. It is surely a sensual, sexy scent for a gorgeous woman in a long, black dress who is on her way to attend an upscale cocktail party. There is something unique and very sexual about this fragrance, definitely not for your daily wear, and not for the office wear. Won’t work for the teens and women who prefer ripped jeans and sports shoes. Good price tag and can find on sale sometimes (especially duty free). Long-lasting and has great projection.

The pink pepper carries through from start to finish on my skin, and I just love the zing of it. The raspberry is tart and melts seamlessly into the rose. I don’t get anything metallic, but this definitely isn’t a photorealistic iteration of rose or raspberry. This is a “perfumey” perfume, but I find that to be endearing here. Many describe it as less “vampy” than expected but I tend to disagree, this just isn’t being carried by incense and oud as you’d likely expect. This isn’t a nuanced fragrance, but my 2010 mall goth heart smiles at it every time. “I made you a cookie, but I eated it” ifkyk.

I remember falling head over heels in love with this perfume back in 2023 when I first tried it. I drenched myself in this at the store when I tested it and I made myself a promise to buy a bottle of this as soon as I can. Well, the day finally came and I ordered it based on the memory I had of this fragrance. It still smells the same as I remembered it but I guess my taste in perfumes shifted. I still really like it though. It's long lasting and it opens up with a sweet raspberry note eventually settling into a rose that, honestly, smells kinda like it's dying. And I'm into it.

First impression: This smells like a VS body spray I had in high school back in like 2009/2010. I am hoping this just needs a few days to sit in a cool dark room, as I ordered from jomashop and it has been pretty hot outside. Maybe the formulation was altered during transit in the warmth. I am getting pink pepper/cassis and a very faint hint of raspberry. This is not at all what I expected, and I am really hoping the fragrance evolves over time to something at least a bit more complex. I remain optimistic, and I’ll try again and update in a few weeks :)

I love most Lancôme fragrances La Vie East Belle, Idôle, ... but La Nuit Trésor is my absolute favourite. Hence, Trésor midnight rose has been on my TS list for ages and I finally bought it. Although I won't deny that it has an elegant component to it, to me the raspberry note is a bit strong, particularly at the beginning. As it starts to fade however, the scent becomes much more alluring. I do wish the rose component was a bit more prominent, as on my skin, the rose scent fades very quickly. But overall the perfume lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin.
