Review! | Lancome Tresor Eau de Parfum

Ah, Lancome Trésor Eau de Parfum.  Funny story about this fragrance.  As a young teenager, I used to babysit for a lady who had two little girls and she wore Trésor.  I can still remember the bottle sitting on the vanity, but I never once picked it up to smell it.  It looked uber fancy and I didn't want to accidentally drop it.

Fast forward from the mid-90s to this January, where I found myself waiting at the Lancome counter with my mom, who was picking out a foundation.  There sat Trésor on the lit perfume display and finally, two decades of curiosity finally got the better of me.  I spritzed it on and WOW!  Why did it take me so long to try this?!

Trésor is a warm, soft scent that combines rose, lilac and muguet (lily of the alley).  It smells sophisticated, and the warmth of the fragrance has made it a perfect winter companion.  

Lancome says:
"Love. Romance. Elegance. TRÉSOR is for a woman who understands that time is precious and moments in this fast-paced world are to be treasured. Because love is a treasure, and TRÉSOR evokes that feeling of everlasting love, it makes her as radiant and precious as the fragrance she wears. The elegance of rose, mugent and lilac and the sparkle of peach and apricot blossom are just a few notes that define this luminous fragrance."

I have a very sensitive nose and have had many a fragrance "go rogue" once they touch my skin.  They start out beautiful, but after a while the scent becomes too cloying and has led to headaches and nausea.  That being said, Trésor didn't seem like it would work for me.  Typically when a fragrance is described as "warm" it usually translates to "too strong" for me.  However, Trésor manages to be warm but soft, like a cozy blanket with a warm mug of tea on a chilly winter's eve.

Do you like Trésor?  What's your current go-to winter fragrance?  Was there ever a perfume you waited years to smell?
