My favorite autumn perfume. Strangely I barely sense the rose, but on me it develops to a walnut-rum praline, lightened by flowery notes. It is sweet, but not as cloying as mainstream ones nowadays. Long lasting on skin, good sillage.
SANYA P – :
This is a shot of sparkling champagne flavored jello, with the thinnest skin peel of a young apricot, freshly torn delicate violet leaves and soft rose petals. Sweet and slightly fizzy–not a creamy praline scent but the kind of praline that is all sugar and no milk. This is predominantly candied fruits and leaves. Projects well in the first few hours. Dries down to a light vanilla sugar, but retains some of the fruit nectar in its heart. Lingers on clothing, but not so much on bare skin.
bev752InsuffBooni – :
I tried the original Trésor years and years ago and the result was that it always smelled great on…someone else. I did not understand why until I found this one, and I got my answer: because there is NO peach or apricot here.
However, even with Lumineuse, I had to take my time, really really invested my time in testing it. I’m very happy with the result, and grow to LOVE it!
The violet leaf stood out strongly thru the whole testing process, like a long “fanfare” show with celebrations to introduce the king and queen (praline and rose) to finally enter. And they did take their time doing so. And then from that point on, the ball just started to the royal expectation 🙂
On my skin, there was almost NO musk appear, just a well made, magnificent combination of wood, soft and delicate rose, buttery praline and creamy vanilla in a classy and traditional way possible, just like the way all the timeless perfumes such as original Chanel No 5 EDP, Lancôme Poême EDP, vintage Christian Dior Poison EDP, discontinued Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial line, Yves Saint Laurent NU EDP, Gucci Envy EDT, Victoria’s Secret Rapture EDP,…were created, way back then. I have found many “modern” perfumes have been taken down to a “lazy” alley with less thoughts, in such a way “OK, go ahead adding lots and lots of prominent musk in, and everything will be just fine” 🙂
I’m GLAD that Lancôme house mostly stays loyal to its “signature” and “tradition” and still be able to offer their fans something like this Trésor Lumineuse, the La Nuit line…

Praline! How could I possibly resist? Sweet but not sickening & long lasting. So nice it is one of a handful of fragrances that I bought twice. This is,to me, perfect for cold weather because it’s warm & inviting
mirrobikov – :
It gives me an imagery of a velvet red rose dipped in chocolate fondue on an open window at night time with a slight cool breeze, or alternatively a chocolate praline filled with rose petals and rose liquor. The violet leaf makes it interesting and gives a nice watery and airy element. A warm, alluring scent perfect for colder weather.
EDIT: It has the most realistic note of a red rose that I’ve ever smelled. In the beginning the violet leaf is dominant, but then the chocolate gets stronger and goes on melting as the fragrance progresses to a chocolate-rose filling.
zpipe – :
Really like this one! I love the original,this one is like a summer version of La Nuit! It’s fresh,sweet,rosey,and musky! Perfect for summer,but could wear any season.❤️
ROMIK – :
Well this one took me by surprise! I accidentally spritzed this on my sleeve when trying to spray a blotter yesterday for a customer, didn’t pay much attention as I’d written off the original Trésor as not-for-me ages back, then when I got home a couple of hours later I kept smelling something so pretty and couldn’t work out what! Suddenly dawned on me when arriving at work today that it was this!
It’s so very different to the original, and much more me! It smells like a soft rosey, fruity fragrance to me although according to the notes there aren’t any fruits in there so I’m not sure what I’m smelling but really enjoying it! It’s nothing ground-breaking but very pretty and soft so a lovely one for Spring, and it’s surprisingly long-lasting! I think I’ll have another spritz today! 🙂
carpenter01 – :
I was so excited to try this perfume as it seemed like everything I love: feminine, delicate, sweet but not too sweet, a little bit of classic rose, airy etc. But when I tried it all I got was the ozonic note taking over and far away a little bit of sweet rose.
It’s not a bad fragrance. If you like ozonic you will like this. It’s not offensive, it’s very classic other than that.
I will still be searching for an everyday, inoffensive, classic fragrance but this is not the one.
Mejus795Unlogrere – :
Strangely, I own three Tresor flankers but not the original. Don’t ask me how that happened, but I am more than fond of all three, so perhaps I ought to just throw my money to the wind and buy Tresor proper. Although, according to most of my fellow Fragrantians, it is very, very different, I think there is strong probability that I may enjoy it.
My rather longwinded opener aside, this is a lovely, uncomplicated, well-executed, mild gourmand. I’m not the biggest gourmand fan, but I somehow seem to acquire quite a few scents categorized as gourmands. I’m okay with that. Maybe I’m a bigger fan than I thought. The praline top note is a delight and really pulled me in. What was waiting for me was a sprightly rose, a touch of vanilla (not over the top in any way), and a hint of spice that anchors the composition and, like one of the aforementioned reviewers mentions, prevents it from becoming overtly girlish.
This is an excellent cold weather fragrance and one that puts the mind at ease. The day seems less harsh, more welcoming when confronted wearing this fragrance. It has a calming, relaxing, and soothing mien.

Pralines and roses for woman in love
Wonderful flanker of Tresor by Lancome. What a great idea to add praline note to this composition. This perfume is beautiful, truly beautiful. Pralines and roses? Very romantic combination. Praline is the most dominant note, then I detect rose, sandal wood and vanilla. Romantic, sweet, sensual.
inoplaniA – :
Elegant, classy… definitely safe but in a way that is warm and cozy. The opening on me was luscious, almost tropical in a way. The rose soon developed, but wasn’t at all powdery. Throughout wear the praline kept it sweet while the rose and violet, while noticeable, took a backseat. Not sure I would wear this in warm weather, but it’s fall and I find myself wanting to wear it when I’m feeling casual but ladylike.
dandal – :
Didn’t like this perfume at first. When I went back to see if I wanted the original Trésor, I tried this one again (not to mention the other Trésors). The praline kind of rosy smell that stayed on the wrist with my watch on it made me fall in love with this perfume. Although it does not have the longevity and sillage I usually prefer, it does have a softer unique scent that was still noticeable by others at a family gathering hours after I had sprayed it on. What I also love about this perfume is how it smells great at every stage (the top, middle and base notes all make for an awesome smelling perfume). And although I’m not one to really notice perfume bottles, I really like this one.
Shavrik-krot – :
Third time’s the charm! I had to test Lumineuse because it has praline note in it, one of my favourite notes ever. First time I hated the smell because I found it too ozonic (to me it means there’s sparkling water vibe going on), but I blamed the airport tester which maybe was expired. So I bought a tester. Second time trying I found that I don’t like it again, because the ozonic thing came up again and it was piercing my nose. However, I still couldn’t let this perfume go. Today, third time came up – I applied Lumineuse generously because it was a dull morning, I had to wake up early, summer’s gone and I was just feeling sad, so I wanted something to lift me up.
So I am sitting in a cafe in a big city (is it Paris?), wrapped up in a cosy sweater, it’s around 5PM, so there’s lots of people and traffic, and the cafe is busy, but I sit in the corner, facing the window, so I don’t feel rushed by them. I’m having a dense cake with red berry jam and some black tea with it. This is what I see when I smell Lumineuse.
This is definitely a sweet perfume – I probably imagine black tea with my cake because I want some balance to it, but this sweetness is so preciously orchestrated to unfold under your nose! As for notes, praline is noticeable here, with syrupy rose floating on top and violet leaf giving that ozonic/metallic sharpness (I got used to it). I cannot detect vanilla. Musky/woody dry down. Sillage is soft, longevity is good, it’s been more than 9 hours since I applied the perfume to my wrists (I did not reapply) and this juicy candy rose marmalade is still lingering.
Lumineuse is a lively, cosy and comforting autumn perfume, a hidden/forgotten Lancome gem, gourmand achieved in an uncloying, breathable way. It’s like a date with yourself on a busy business day.
Norcribre – :
This is the rosey perfume I’ve been searching for to substitute for boucheron jaipur femme which is now discontinued.
Actually I tried this when I meant to try original tresor. At first five minutes or so I wasn’t impressed. So I said meh and walked away.
After A couple of hours I smelled a sweet rose scent aaaannddd I fell in love with it.
For five minutes or so it is really sweet with praline. And then it turns to a sweet rose scent. I can’t detect any vanilla which I like this, too so it stops the scent to be cakey or something.
And violet leaf is a great accord in this.
I love this!
Canon___ – :
Interestingly I bought this and liked it very much which got me interested in trying the original which I haven’t tried and or smelled since the early 90s when it came out… well it turns out I love the original Tresor and prefer the original to this! This is lovely especially when you can smell the rose but for me there are some notes that overwhelm me I think it’s the woody notes it just smells to much to my nose.. I currently have a half bottle and a new 1.7 that I would like to exchange with someone for the original
gawryk – :
This is just and amazing scent i think. I use this perfume for a long time and everyone that smells me says “your perfume is beautiful”. And of course i do not want to say its name 🙂 because i believe everyone should her/his own scent. Surely,these are not produced for just one person ,but in my city i have never smelled this scent. This is not well-known and it is a good thing for me. Just i wish that it would have been more long lasting . This is the only bad side.
tsiundrik – :
Just got this today, a blind buy- although I have Midnight Rose and La Nuit. My coworker has a lotion of Original Tresor, and I sniff it from time to time. 🙂
I blind bought this, NIB and I’m shocked that it’s not very potent? I hope this bottle isn’t off or fake…. The box was not sealed, and it came from a person seller instead of a perfume outlet/store.
But… although my first 2 sprays on a tissue seem weak sniffed up close, my desk area is surrounded by a nice somewhat sweet, creamy floral, kinda ordinary smell. It’s pleasant/happy/uplifting and creamy- which I do like. (It’s super cold winter here)
I get the rose, but it’s mixing with something creamy/milky and giving off the same milk-rose in Loverdose Tattoo. It must be the milk chocolate in the praline. I do think I get a nutty-choc vibe in the creamy part of this.
I do think it’s similar to the lotion of Tresor. But creamy and lighter? I will def change into my lazy clothes after work and test this out proper! Today I’m wearing Black Opium- which I hosed myself in. Haha.
La Nuit is still my fave Tresor Flanker. But I’m a sweetie/gourmand freak.
Adi21rus – :
Получих го току що и първото ми впечатление е Fentasi Бритни Спиърс.Същия шоколадово розов аромат! Много добра трайност и сила.Доволна съм,ще го нося с кеф
foxhifi – :
Tresor Lumineuse is a “ladylike gourmand.” I bought it BLIND for the praline and rose notes and those are definitely the most dominant. It’s quite soft and sexy, definitely smells Parisian (not that I’ve ever been to Paris, so take that with the proverbial grain of salt). It’s yummy yet soft and inoffensive, like a cashmere blanket of fragrance. If you like Stella by Stella McCartney you will like this, it’s sweeter but just as sophisticated. If you DON’T like rose, you won’t like this.
tami – :
This perfume is amazing. It’s like rose petals dipped in caramelized sugar. It is sweet and simply yummy.
vkontakte456 – :
Lumineuse is fast becoming one of my favourites. This is sweet done just right. At first I didn’t like it much as I felt like it was not mingling well with my skin. But the more I use it the more I love it. I find it to be a very elegant perfume but on my skin longevity and sillage are both moderate.
Самона – :
i initially wanted to purchase Tresor Le Nuit but after smelling Lumineuse i had a change of heart. The more i think about it Le Nuit smells very similar to LVEB which is just too much for me. it is way over used and i can literally detect it on any female that has it on. Tresor Lumineuse is a sparkling beautiful, romantic, sweet, and elegant perfume that reveals class and sophistication. it is hands down one of my sexiest scents! its a total pick me up that can change anyones mood. i cant wait to use this in fall and winter. it is the perfect date night scent and a lot of men love and compliment this one. Its a true gem and every lady should atleast try this one x
imbadenya – :
Candied roses is what I detect!!! Awesome sillage and longevity.
Makes me feel all womanly.
arye – :
I’m so sad I purchased the La Nuit Tresor flanker instead of this one. I thought I was going to like the La Nuit but it’s too heavy and similar to Angel by Mugler. This one on the other hand is truly a luminous praline scent. It’s beautiful, subtle, sparkly and only lightly sweet. It drydowns to a soft musk with subtle praline/chocolate nuances, but it never looses its effervescent qualities either.
forces45 – :
Lumineuse is an amazing perfume. It has nothing to do with the original Tresor. It’s romantic, innofensive, sweet, fresh and elegant at the same time. The rose is prominent when you first spray and continues smoothly until the drydown. It’s not a synthetic rose although. Praline,vanilla and a powdery-musky note dominate at the drydown. It’s suitable for spring and summer time, even at work cause it’s not offensive. The sillage is moderate and longevity good too.
see802Diobtetty – :
When I smell this, I imagine a tiny dessert on giant white plate in a fancy restaurant. A dessert beautifully made with edible gold pieces shaped into rose petals, chocolate mouse with champagne shaped into a heart…almost too pretty to eat, costs about a fortune and finished in two bites.
Lumineuse is sweeter and more edible smelling than the original Tresor with the added chocolate or better yet praline, which is very fitting with what I imagine this to be like. A praline with raspberry-peach filling while being surrounded by roses and violets. I don’t get the ozonic or aquatic properties, or any wood; Just chocolate/praline, rose, violet, vanilla….maybe some powdery musk too.
I’m delighted with the chocolate-floral composition how it is, and thankfully without patchouli added; Then this would easily be like many other modern and uber popular fragrances(Flowerbomb, LaVieIstBelle, JimmyChoo, etc, etc, etc). There’s a newer and very similar flanker to Luminuese, La Nuit, which was redundant since there’s nothing wrong with Luminuese and the La Nuit smells just like all the other floral/fruit+patchouli perfumes out there( like the ones I listed). Lumineuse is not too complicated yet refined. I am a huge fan of the original Tresor and Lumineuse is my favorite flanker. Has great longevity.
Tresor Lumineuse is romantic, sweet, feminine and classy. This is a perfume I can imagine being perfect for Valentines Day.
muv018InsuffBooni – :
I tend not to like ozonic or aquatic fragrances but this is beautiful!
Opens sweet and sparkling then settles into a soft, musky floral. Very easy to wear, fluffy and romantic.
fgf516Negeltzex – :
more wearable compare to original Tresor. it is soft and sweet powdery scent. praline,violet leaf,vanilla, musk and sandalwood are completely dominant notes.
all in all – sexy, young, modern and feminine
maybe not last longer on woman but it last 12 hours on my skin. (honestly) i put on this perfume at 7:00am and it’s last until 7:00pm.
Tresor L’eau de Parfum Lumineuse,
La vie Est Belle EDP
La vie Est Belle L’eau de Parfum Intense,
Hypnose EDP
Miracle So Magic
My favorite list from Lancome because they last a very long time on my skin. (i have no idea) at least 10 hours on me.
Mandtrodo – :
It’s a wonderfull fragrance, it is more sweet than the original, i love both of them. it is a sweet scent but also fresh at the same time. I can detect all notes as time passes. It’s so pleasant and nice, suitable for every age and every season. Also i could say that it is like a lighter version of la nuit tresor. They are not that same, but if someone loves for night or winter La nuit tresor, then this one is ideal for day or summer time. I’m going to buy it for spring. Also it stays on skin 12+ hours. 😀
Soorsskergy – :
Raspberry pancakes with ice cream and honey. This is the very antithesis of the tortured and complex self-image that I want to project to the world but my nose is glued to my wrist.
I have no idea what the original smells like but this is fabulous.
MrAdam – :
This is a great flanker. I was worried when I read that one of the accords is ozonic, because I generally don’t like ozonic fragrances – but the ozonic, woody nature of this one makes it very interesting. It’s not your typical gourmand twist on a fragrance. It’s sweeter but also more sparkly. The name makes sense, it’s Tresor but illuminated, glistening. The first burst is sharp with violet leaf – it’s sharp and almost astringent but in the BEST way, because it’s also warm and sweet at the same time. And then that BEAUTIFUL Tresor rose comes up, with all the backbone of Tresor, but it’s shimmering and faceted. This is a good one, a worthy flanker – I like it when flankers introduce something interesting to the fragrance, instead of just making “versions” that are pleasing for various audiences: “One for the gourmand lovers! One for the ones who don’t like strong perfume!”
vsm444speagoessenda – :
L’acidità della rosa di Damasco domina la fragranza dall’inizio alla fine; molto deciso è anche il muschio bianco. Le note dolci della vaniglia e delle praline non riesco a percepirle. Secondo il mio parere è un ottimo profumo con l’essenza di rosa e per una persona che non ama le rose questa fragranza è riuscita a far cambiare la mia opinione.
Longevità 8.5/10
Sillage 8.5/10
Profumo 8.5/10
Jazzniggeroff – :
Blind buy, you have not failed me! I ordered this because I absolutely love La Nuit Tresor and thought the notes in Lumineuse sounded amazing!
If La Nuit is considered more of an evening, winter scent, then Lumineuse would be her daytime, spring counterpart.
The opening is amazing and truly the entire composition has me hooked from start to finish. Lumineuse truly dances around you, teases you. Even with just one spray to my forearm she’s there lingering around me with wafts of praline and rose and vanilla flirting with me.
If LVEB is too dense and strong or if the incense in La Nuit bothers you, Lumineuse would be a lovely, enchanting alternative.
It’s fresh, but still sweet. Warm, but not thick. Everything blends so beautifully. Lumineuse is such an elegant, versatile, and dreamy flanker. I’m so happy to have this in my collection. I have a feeling it will be worn a lot!
iwh052bedyWelty – :
I’ve got this by a mistake. I was looking for Tresor EDT, but after I read all these reviews and the accords, I’ve thought it was better for me. But I was wrong.
I has nothing to do with regular Tresor. Not in a disturbing way, but it is interestingly sweet. And when it’s mixing with woody notes, there is something unique come along. I don’t know, it’s not ugly or useless, but I’m only using it for finish. Never gonna buy it again.
Igorek2010 – :
Well, to start with – I don’t like the original Tresor at all. With that said – I love Tresor Eau de Parfum Lumineuse. I don’t want any sugarsweet notes in my parfumes – but here I find some dark, halfsweet, almost spicy Praline – I guess the woodnote comes thru and give that airy softspicy smell. I get a mix of Violet leaf, woody-notes, dark, soft Vanilla and some Rose. The sandalwood don’t shine thru on my skin. This is a winner and a keeper =)
Tja, jag kan börja med att säga att jag gillar inte originalet Tresor alls. Med den öppningen måste jag säga att jag älskar Tresor Eau de Parfum Lumineuse. Jag gillar inte sockersöta noter i mina dofter – men här hittar jag en mörk, halvsöt, aningens kryddig pralin – gissar att tränoterna går igenom och skapar den luftiga lätta kryddigheten jag känner. Jag får en mix av Viol-löv, Träiga noter, mörk mjuk Vanilj och lite Ros. Sandelträet känner jag inte alls. En vinnare och en självklar doft för samlingen.
vladStrati – :
Bought this for my 11 yr old daughter at Duty Free and now I regretting myself for not buying it for myself too as I couldn’t find the Tresor Lumineuse anywhere near our home 🙁
The original Tresor is purely sweet..heavy sweets and sometimes can caused you nausea/migraines (in my case), lovely but I can only wear it in winter/night time. But the new Tresor Lumineuse is totally diffrent, This is an easy scent that you can wear for the whole year. It’s elegant, Light not as Light as Versace Bright Crystal/Gucci Bamboo, Sweet but not overly sweet/heavy, I can’t detect any alcohol/synthetic in this perfume which is GREAT unlike any other famous fragrances. Creamy-vanilla but Def NOT sickening!, Ultra Feminine,Delicate, Not that unique but still Amazing! LOVE
JoingmigMof – :
Beautiful warm sweet and elegant fragrance!Lots of praline and soft candied rose on a base of cosy vanilla and sandalwood.Great sillage and good longevity.Sweet but never cloying perfect for Fall and. winter
Metvh498JeomiWogkig – :
All the notes are easy to detect. I can sense praline, rose, violet leaf, sandalwood and woody notes the most. Violet leaf gives it a darker tone, but it’s still much better than the original Tresor.
Sweet, woody and spicy notes mixed with violet leaf note.
I must admit I find it quite interesting. I’m glad it’s not just another sweetness bomb, like it seemed to be at first.
ipin9 – :
Safe, praline based perfume. Having tried Nina and La Vie Est Belle L’Eau de Parfum Legere before this, I find this lacking the zest of both aforementioned scents. I haven’t tried the original Tresor, but I doubt that this steals the show from it. It is an easy to wear scent though.
wka686intitytek – :
yes. initially there was a blast of LaVie Est Belle, I am so glad to read so many similar impressions on the opening of the perfume. indeed,this “praline feel” lasts for a short while. then, the dance begins! so many childish memories are packed in this lovely grown-up scent. it may not seem very original and ground breaking, but this is only because it bears that familiar, cozy, safe note of the original tresor. There is something in it that reminded me of the loving LE Miracle Forever. She who misses that one may want to test this tresor flanker.
uub388elipseskism – :
Quite sweet at the beginning, but light. Pleasant, but a bit strange too. Hard to describe. I think that blend of oriental ingredients and violet leaf gives a bizarre effect in middle and base notes.
However, it’s nice. Just extraordinary.
jennyqtb – :
I think this is the one I tried in the store last night. The salesperson identified it as the “new Tresor” as opposed to the “old Tresor” but it looked like the picture here.
I sprayed a card with it, but some of the juice got on my thumb, and within a minute all I could smell was celery!
Later on, it settled into a sort of ghost of the original Tresor, very identifiable. I’m still not a Tresor fan, but it’s more enjoyable in a lighter version. I won’t be buying it because if I want to smell celery it’s cheaper to go home and make some soup, haha. 😉
marsilva – :
This one is a bit shy, but very teasing. It dances around you with small wiffs for several hours. Next person have to hug me or stand close, to share those wiffs. A lot better then the Original in my opinion.
Denna är lite blyg, men väldigt retsam. Den dansar runt mig med små doftfläktar i många timmar. Nästa person måste krama mig eller stå nära för att uppleva dessa fläktar. Denna versionen är klart bättre än originalet, tycker jag.

Ladies & Gents I give you My Signature Fragrance!!!
About a year ago, I was sniffing some Marc Jacobs gourmands at my local perfumerie when the lady behind the Lancome counter asked me – since I seem to love gourmands – if I’d like to try the new Tresor Lumineuse. I was hesitant to say the least, as I cannot stand the unbearable rose/candy uncomplicated sweetness of the original Tresors and all of the other pseudo-in love/midnight rose blah blah ad infinitum.
I eventually gave in and let me tell you it was love at first sniff!!! Yummy praline, delicate rose, soft violet and slightly spicy vanilla is what I get from this perfume once it settles on my skin and this is by FAR my compliments galore scent, as EVERY time I wear it, men flock towards me and ask me stuff like “What the hell are you wearing, you smell delicious?!” “You smell good enough to eat” and “you smell so sexy” (I don’t get this reaction with any other perfume!)
Ladies, this one is a show stopper! best suited for winter or night time, it might smell sweet, nice and innocent but it is one Naughty Juice!!!
PS: The longevity is amazing! I sprayed it on Saturday evening to attend a festival and I was complimented on Sunday morning at the gym with a “Mmm you smell yummy!” by a gay Greek dude during step class…
Alnaumka – :
I am sad to see that this one has gotten many negative reviews 🙁 people seem to be hating the house of Lancome (even though hundreds of people I pass in the street every day slap on the ol’ la vie est belle with abandon) just as I am falling in love with it.
I can’t take la vie est belle, I like it but for me it is just too dense and over poweringly sweet. Tresor is also one that I like, but truth be told is a little overbearing in a totally different way, in the way that it smells a little strong and dated. (I don’t always mind dated am not an age snob for sure but in this case I mind). Tresor Lumineuse for me combines the best of these two fragrances. I can still smell all the lovely floral combination of tresor with a dash of praline cosey sweetness from la vie est belle. Much easier than either of these two to wear while with a nod of appreciation to both. The combination is simply gorgeous and it has gone straight on my wish list!
To those who are saying this one is yet another sickly sweet sugar disaster of this era I have to respectfully disagree. Yes it is sweet there is no denying that, but it’s not cheap as it retains all the class from the original tresor. Lancome is fast becoming my favourite fragrance house, and if I stand alone in that then so be it! 🙂 xx
OXYc – :
I was looking for a fragrance recently. I can not say i had too many choices. Fragrances nowadays are quite similar to each other. When you dont want to go with the classics and seek something new, all you have is scents with this sugary notes, with low longevity and sillage.
Eau de Lumineuse is unfortunately not any different than the fragrances I mentioned. It’s a nice scent, but nothing distinct like the original Tresor. It’s a scent to wear daily, to work, for going out, it’s not offensive. But it is nothing special. Would not qualify as a signature fragrance for example.
I am so very disappointed with the sugary scent era.This a nice one, but cannot stand out.
EreplyPymnnen – :
I recently smelled this on my mother-in-law, and I thought she smelled beautiful. If you like semi-sweet modern scents with praline note, try this out. This is less sweet, more fresh and much more elegant than La Vie Est Belle.
Xeroxobyrg – :
Trésor EDP Lumineuse features a light citrus and green violet leaf in the opening. These fresh elements are wrapped in a gentle milkiness and nuttiness provided by praline, which makes the scent refreshing and bright without being too sharp.
After about 40 minutes, a candied rose fully blooms in the heart. It has a noticeable tart fruity edge to balance the sweetness. The praline is perceptible throughout the development, but it always melts under the rose. I do catch whiffs of chocolate in the sillage, but when sniffed up close, it serves more like adding a velvety texture without compromising the luminescent profile of the rose.
The praline and vanilla eventually become more substaintial when the fragrance dries down, which makes the candied rose feel more creamy, but they never overtake the whole compostion.
The sillage is moderate and the longevity is around 11 hours. Trésor Lumineuse is not that original but quite enjoyable. And I find it actually bloomes beautifully under the late spring sun. I’d recommend it as a candied rose fragrance with a creamy but light texture.
Professor7717 – :
Something strange has been happening in the fragrance house of Lancome in the past decade. Unlike Chanel, Guerlain or Dior, they’ve not managed to develop anything outstanding or even just hands off very good, albeit not original. TL starts off smelling of artificial fruits/berries, and thus somehow reminds me of YSL Parisienne… Three hours later, and all that remains is the caramel, mostly. Will save my new spring-fragrance budget on something else.
Apattekal – :
Initially,
this smells like
a synthetically-flavored,
strawberry-grape or raspberry
chewy candy, i.e. Sugus
Also, the initials is
rather waxy and ‘plastic’ky,
with a faint hint of nuttiness and
buttery sweet of pralines.
Soon,
after a minute or so,
the candy-sweet accord
starts to develop and smells
like a warm caramel before giving
its way to the impressively refined
musky-floral note, making this Lumineuse
version of the iconic Tresor, a fragrance
concoction worth cherish for.
Lumineuse is truly a
dazzling and enchanting
fragrance, yet its seduction
is almost like a whisper instead
of being so vivid and loud. Its longevity
is exceptional with moderate projection.

I was looking forward to trying the new La Vie Est Belle EDT but saw this sitting on the side and as I like tresor in Love thought Id have a little spritz!
Very impressed!I bought this instead as I still find La vie est belle a bit too sickly even in EDT – I can only cope in the winter with it in any form.
I find that on the dry down this does resemble it but has a different kind of richness which is fresher and smooth. Its like they added a little la vie into tresor in love, Very nice 😀
Would recommend at least having a try as you never know, and give it time to settle and blend with your own skin ♥
