Tresor EDT by Lancome

This was the first quality perfume I bought, one for which I have to save, because, in those days, I was poor and Tresor was a very expensive perfume. Although I don't use it regularly nowadays, I always keep small samples and travel size bottles at hand because, the time has passed, the world of perfumes has evolved and changed, but Tresor is still today one of my favourite fragrances.

Lancome has reinvented Tresor in the last years, but the fact remains, the original Tresor, is still a great fragrance that smells of groomed woman, that is feminine and seductive. Tresor is a classic for a reason. In a world that discards perfumes every two years, having a perfume like this still being sold, says something about any perfume. For the younger generations, Tresor smells of their mothers and grand-mothers, so it will have an old-lady sort of attached prejudice; yet, if they didn't see the bottle and smelled the fragrance in a blind testing, many of them would still like or love the scent. 

 
Tresor is the essence of femininity: intoxicating, velvety, powdery, warm and floral. It has an unique distinguishable scent that you won't find matched anywhere else. While I have found that some scents by designer houses smell the same, I mean the same, as other perfumes with different names from another designer house, I have still to find a perfume that smells like Tresor. It has never been and will never be. Amen.


This is one of those perfumes that I don't overdo, because, if I do, I get a headache and I cannot stand it. A tiny amount of spray or rubbing on the usual spots goes the long way and brings up the woman in you even in those days that you feel a bit crappy.
