La Nuit Tresor Caresse
by Lancôme
La Nuit Tresor Caresse offers a softer, more delicate interpretation of the original La Nuit Tresor EDP, characterized by a pronounced sweet floral gourmand profile with a strong almond blossom presence. The scent opens with juicy litchi, raspberry, and bergamot, creating a bright and fruity top note that fades into a velvety heart of rose, jasmine, and vanilla. The drydown reveals a warm, powdery sweetness with tonka bean, tahitian vanilla, and just enough patchouli to provide depth without overpowering. It is more wearable than the original, with a lighter sillage and a tendency to be more successful in cooler weather than in heat. While the balance of sweetness is praised by many as elegant and harmonious, the dominant almond blossom and vanilla notes are reported to be overwhelming or cloying by some, especially in warm or humid conditions. The fragrance is widely regarded as a suitable option for both daytime and evening wear, with good longevity and a softly round, feminine character.
