Comments on: Lancome ~ Tresor and Tresor Eau de Printemps (Sheer) http://scentzilla.com/2006/05/17/lancome-tresor-and-tresor-eau-de-printemps-sheer/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

And Lancome did reintroduce some of their earlier scents - try a sample of the Climat if you like florals. It's terribly easy to wear, and quite pretty. Luccia, the powder can feel overbearing. I think on anyone Tresor is definitely one people should be judicious in application with. A little too much on is WAY too much on in Tresor's case. I rather like the way it smells, but not on me. I can see why you'd say it must be tolerated rather than enjoyed, though - I think it totally does take psychic armor sometimes to protect oneself from it when stuck in close quarters with someone who's wearing it.

I still adore Magie Noire, and O de Lancome is also wonderful in its own way. They have not really approached the level of Magie Noire ever again. I just got a sample of Hypnose that I don't really dare to wear - will it end up smelling cheap and "off" on me? Probably. I will reserve it for trying at home on a weekend so I can wash it off if I have to. Not really sure how Passion Flower, Vanilla and Vetiver go together - sounds a little scary!

"Amazing that such terrifying little creatures can make something so perfect." I really thought it was beautiful enough to remember to take a snapshot before we obliterated it. But terrifying is right - and us chronic perfume-wearers are probably more at risk for arousing their interest and/or territorial anger than most folks ;) Oooh, that would be a cool lighting fixture, though. “Amazing that such terrifying little creatures can make something so perfect.” I really thought it was beautiful enough to remember to take a snapshot before we obliterated it.

I was rather charmed overall by the Printemps, not too shabby, I think. Your skepticism is justified - regular Tresor is just that strong to warrant doubt.

Something in that more palpable green woodiness gives less an impression of syrup than the original. I agree it is, in a way, young smelling in comparison, however.
