Lancome Paris Tresor

Lancome Paris Tresor is one of those fragrance names that carries a clear old-school perfume-house aura, and that matters because it is aimed at people who want a polished, feminine scent with a classic bent. By our assessment, its strength is that kind of recognisable, dressed-up elegance: this is the sort of perfume people reach for when they want something warm and clearly composed rather than airy or minimalist. The trade-off is also familiar, since a richer perfume can feel formal or heavy if someone prefers very light modern scents. In practice, it is the sort of fragrance that announces itself and stays present, which is exactly what many perfume buyers want from a signature scent. It sits well above casual body mists and cheaper splashy scents, and it does not try to be a barely there skin smell.
