La Nuit Trésor 2019
by Lancôme
La Nuit Trésor 2019 is a deeply gourmand, sweetly floral night fragrance with intense sillage and long-lasting performance. It opens with a bright, tart berry burst of raspberry, litchi, and bergamot, balanced by a gilded frankincense and rose core that adds depth and mystery. The base unfolds with a velvety vanilla cloud, chalky papyrus, and a rich, earthy patchouli that gives the scent a slightly sharp, camphoric edge—making it more sophisticated than overly saccharine. Though described as less dark than its predecessor, it remains an opulent, layered, and uniquely feminine experience. The scent projects boldly at first, with a transformative dry-down that clings to skin and clothing for hours, exuding a deeply intoxicating, vanilla-kissed warmth that feels both elegant and seductive. It is best worn in colder seasons and on special occasions, particularly during evening events or romantic encounters.
Pros
- +Excellent longevity and strong sillage, with a 12-hour+ performance even in colder weather
- +Complex, layered structure where fruit, floral, incense, and vanilla notes integrate seamlessly into a deeply sensual, elegant base
- +Smells consistently impressive on skin, with transformative dry-down and deep, evocative sweetness that feels luxurious and modern
Cons
- −Can come across as overly sweet or intense for casual, daytime wear or for those sensitive to gourmand notes
- −The patchouli contributes a slightly sharp, camphoric character that some may find off-putting or too young for their taste
- −Certain individuals report a heady or even slightly unpleasant aroma in the initial moments—indicated in niche reviews as a reaction to reformulation
