Tresor (original)

Tresor (original) is a 1952 Lancôme fragrance for women. Everyone who describes it says floral, about half add spicy, sweet, woody or ambery, and a quarter find it green.

Green leaves and lily of the valley open it with a fresh, dewy brightness, and lilac adds a soft, slightly powdery spring-flower note. Apricot and peach bring a ripe, velvety fruitiness to the heart, alongside rose and orange blossom for a fuller floral body. Spices warm the middle without dominating. The base is classic for its period: cedar and sandalwood for wood, resins and amber for a warm, balsamic depth, and musk to carry it on the skin.

Longevity and sillage have not yet been reported by wearers. The balance of fruit, flowers and resin suits autumn and mild spring days and evenings alike, and it will appeal to someone curious about mid-century floral structure rather than a modern sweet style, or to anyone who likes peach and rose over warm woods.
