A confession – I was not a fan of the Lancome Tresor perfume because I found it too strong. It also smelled it like would suit an older more mature woman better.
When I saw the Tresor In Love version, I was surprised because Tresor comes in a short squat bottle but Tresor In Love comes in a tall elegant bottle marked by a satin black rose around the top. It somehow brought to mind a flamenco dancer.
The thing is, I really like Tresor in Love! It is light and not too floral, sweet without being cloying and fruity while just offering you a hint of sensuality. Its a fragrance for falling in love.
The fragrance is lovely and because its light, dries down to just a hint of a scent on me. Fortunately, the scent does not change too much on my skin – fragrances do sometimes do that so I start out the day smelling fresh as a daisy and end the day with a fruity floral scent with a hint of musk. Quite perfect for me.
I love the packaging and it sits prettily on any dresser with the pale peach-pink liquid filling the heavy but elegant glass bottle. The only gripe I will have is the cap. It looks like cut glass but is, I believe, a heavy clear plastic. Not very cool.
If you like the original Tresor scent, think of it as a fragrance for long sensual evenings, and Tresor In Love for the day or casual weekends.
Its not hard to fall in love with Tresor In Love 🙂
Pros: Light sensual scent that I like
Cons: Cap was plastic
Tresor In Love fragrance comes in 3 sizes – 30ml, 50ml and 75ml. Not sure of prices but I think the 50ml bottle is RM200.
So because I love perfume ads, here’s the official Lancome Tresor In Love TVC in original French, because that’s the language of love ma cherie! 😉
Enjoy!
Isn’t it so … French? 😀 Did you notice the white dress worn by Elettra Rossellini (daughter of Isabella Rossellini)? I love it!

But seeing the commercial makes me want to go sniff at Tresor In Love at the counters! 🙂

June 21, 2010 at 2:16 pmDoesn’t it make you want to see if a whiff of the perfume would reel in that hottie across the room? 😉 unfortunately the scent isn’t that strong but up close mmmm 😉

June 21, 2010 at 10:45 amI like Tresor because it smells quite unique but it is a tad strong at times like you mentioned. I have the miniature but never got around to getting the full-size since I got Magnifique instead. That just finished so Tresor in Love may be going to the top of the list now 😀 Thanks!

June 21, 2010 at 1:05 pmI love her dress too! I have a belt that’s exactly like that. Vintage. Got it from dressforyesteryear.blogspot.com. Came with a “stepford wives”-ish polka dotted dress. I thought Rosselini’s daughter is quite pretty. In a more doe-like sort of way.
Paris – So is the perfume attracting any hot french guys from across a crowded room? As hot as the one in the ad? Hehe. Oh wait…. there aren’t any hot french guys in Msia. Sigh.

June 21, 2010 at 2:19 pmSadly as I told Rinnah above, the scent isn’t so strong as to attract hotties across the room but its a pretty scent and I love the dress sigh…

June 24, 2010 at 3:16 pmTresor is a bit too strong at time. Never able to finish the whole bottle. Only use it occasionally. I’ve received a sample of Tresor In Love and I like the smell a lot. Well, I plan to purchase a bottle and will use it on a daily basis. As for the bottle, didn’t look attractive enough.

June 26, 2010 at 8:21 pmHi Paris! Tresor In Love is more towards fresh or sweet smell? I’m looking for a fresh smell perfume (fresh+sweet is ok,but not fresh+fruity-at least for me :p) but I can’t seem to find THE fresh perfume(like really fresh), if you get what I mean. Or maybe you can recommend me a perfume? Thanks for your review btw! Have a great weekend! 🙂
p/s: I finally bought the Meteorites Loose Pearls in 02 and I’m loving it! 🙂
