Tresor Lumineuse by Lancome for women

This is a great flanker. I was worried when I read that one of the accords is ozonic, because I generally don't like ozonic fragrances - but the ozonic, woody nature of this one makes it very interesting. It's not your typical gourmand twist on a fragrance. It's sweeter but also more sparkly. The name makes sense, it's Tresor but illuminated, glistening. The first burst is sharp with violet leaf - it's sharp and almost astringent but in the BEST way, because it's also warm and sweet at the same time. And then that BEAUTIFUL Tresor rose comes up, with all the backbone of Tresor, but it's glistening. This is a good one, a worthy flanker - I like it when flankers introduce something interesting to the fragrance, instead of just making "versions" that are pleasing for various audiences: "One for the gourmand lovers! One for the ones who don't like strong perfume!"

If you're looking for a sweet perfume, you've found one. The praline is the top note here and it lasts for quite a while (the praline that I'm smelling comes across as a more caramel note). Once the scent finally dries down, I finally get light notes of rose, but the praline is ever-present. After a few hours I can finally detect a little vanilla but by then it's long been a skin scent and you'll have to go to your wrists to smell it. The good news is that after a few hours, it's still there!
