Description
“Today, Lancôme has appointed some of the greatest contemporary perfumers to pay homage to Lancôme’s founder, Armand Petitjean. The result is Maison Lancôme’s new collection of fragrances that so exquisitely touch upon and carry on Petitjean’s dream, and the essence of the House itself.
This new High Perfumery experience takes a creative stance: the very French art of blending. Each fragrance is crafted in the same manner that one composes a wine of the most superior grade (Grand cru), with a combination of varieties, origins, and extractions that are all specially selected according to precise criteria.” – a note from the brand.
Lavandes Trianon was launched in 2016. Lavandes Trianon was created by Olivier Gillotin and Shyamala Maisondieu.

I like it. I blind bought this hoping this could be my signature because I love creamy fragrances ( my absolute favorite)but I have learned that milk does not mean creamy and I would not call this a creamy perfume at all. Its more of a vanilla lavender baby powder, with a milk note. I do like it but not as much as I had hoped. Don’t get me wrong, its a beautiful scent, but more of a sachet for your pantie drawer, in the best kind of way, or an expensive lavender face moisturizer. Very pretty but doesn’t really smell like a perfume. The milk note is also strong. I think I would miss it if I let it go though . A very memorable fragrance. Different.

Milky lavender it is with quite less sugar forthe vanilla. It has commercial quality and I believe it’s forthose who likes lavender with milk body wash and hints of vanilla cause it soothes the body by the feelings.
Interesting.

I love most Lancomes and love lavender but this is sort of gross. A mashup of intense lavender. That should be the main note. This is ALL about the herbal straight up lavender oil in the top then the vanilla comes in to round it out a bit but it’s still camphorous and herbal. I don’t want my lavender mixed with vanilla and milk. Ugh. Lavender and lemon? Okay. So, this is like a lavender cake. Trying to be gourmand but someone spilled too much lavender in the batter.

An unexpected love for me. Maison Lancome makes such gorgeous scents.
I’m sampling this today and wasn’t too excited about it based on the notes pyramid. I’m not a vanilla person, though I do like lavender, and milk as a note never appeals to me.
However, the lavender and vanilla intertwine in such a beautiful way. It’s sexy but also dreamy and classic… I’d wear this out if I wanted to feel beautiful – but if I were feeling decadent and needed some lovely dreams, I’d also wear it to bed.
It’s very simple but still somehow feels complex.
This has similarities to Mon Guerlain but I think it’s more beautiful and layered. Definitely prefer this one to that.

I find this to be a very fresh and sort of greenish vanilla, even a little yellow lol. I get a lot of a dry and fresh herb or maybe even like a grass or green hay note, especially in the top. It eventually dries down and I can smell the floral lavender coming through. There’s a warm and milky vanilla mixed throughout, beginning to end, it becomes almost buttery once dried down. It’s a very beautiful scent but I’m not personally into bright and green vanillas.

This is my favorite out of the new Lancome line. It’s very calming, sweet and light, but not in a sillage or longevity way. I mean it’s not overpowering. I do not think, as one reviewer mentions, it smells anything like the original Dior Addict. (I love both of these.)
The drydown is soft and sweet and I can’t stop smelling my arms. Definitely worthy of a full bottle.

I am not even all that into lavender scents to be quite honest, however, this is absolutely decadent! The creamy vanilla and fresh lavander combination is quite stunning. This is quite comforting, elegant, and just divine. The first time I wore it was to church and I kept smelling something amazing, and I thought it was the beautiful woman sitting in front of me. I just kept leaning in for whiffs… Long behold that beautiful woman turned around and told me that she walked in behind me and that I smelled impeccable!!!! In that moment, I figured out it was me who smelled so good! Immediately purchased a full bottle after that (and receiving numerous compliments that same day)!

Three simple notes that combine to make one of the loveliest, most delicious scents I’ve smelled. The milk is sweet and creamy, the lavender and vanilla are fresh. It has a soft, caramel-ly vibe, but the lavender brightens it up and prevents it from getting tooth-achingly sweet. It’s not complex but it possesses a depth that keeps the scent interesting. It wears soft and smooth on my skin – like having a scented cloud around me. Very good sillage and longevity. I get yummy wafts of it throughout the day with just 2-3 sprays.

Guys, this is amazing! I have no words to describe it!
This is the ultimate gourmand lavender on the planet Earth!!! So smooth, so sexy, creamy, so velvety! It’s super cozy, warm, addictive, like you are in wonderful small and comfortable coffee shop, outside is snowing, there are some cookies, you’re drinking hot coffee with warm milk and in that moment the lavender note gives some edge and masculine character… Amazing! This aromatic character of the modern lavender keeps the composition interesting and not too sweet and feminine. I think people who love Mugler Pure Tonka, Rochas Man, Eisenberg J’ose for men and so on cozy-aromatic scents, will fall in love in Lancome Lavandes Trianon. This is very high quality mix with good ingredients and I’m TRULY impressed! The only negative thing is the price. Love, love, love it!!!

This is a perfect lavender gourmand – frosted milky and sweet! I wanted a good lavender scent for a long time, was debating between Chanel Jersey and this one. So glad picked Lavandes Trianon! It’s unlike anything else I’ve tried.

I was once handed by an SA a ceramic tester heavily sprayed with Lavandes Trianon, and I was not thrilled at all by its dense cloud of generic gourmand tonka vanilla. But when I got around to try it on my skin, the result is much better.
It opens on my skin as a vivid purple lavender. It’s not at all like the metallic, ultra-clean note in certain mainstream masculine sport fragrances. Here, the lavender is aromatic and herbal in a gritty, earthy, deep and resinous way, sometimes even a bit like burnt rubber.
As the fragrance enters into the dry down, the latter nuance shifts gradually into a soft burnt caramel and dried hay undertone thanks to the quiet arrival of vanilla and tonka bean. The initial lively herbal vigour is also soothed by the comfort of vanilla. I was a bit wary whether its commercial gourmand vanilla-tonka base previously observed on the ceramic tester would take over the fragrance. But as long as I’m careful with the amount applied on my skin, Lavandes Trianon is foremost a lavender soliflore, and the vanilla and tonka bean in the base behave more like a filter to soften the contour in a picture.
Although Lavandes Trianon is mostly linear, its tone does shift from the opening to the dry down. If the opening is a field of lavender at dusk, releasing its aromatic yet resinous redolence after bathing under the Mediterranean sun, this field is then caressed by the vanilla like a balmy summer breeze of early evening. I get a moderate sillage during the most part of its 8-hour longevity.
While Lavandes Trianon might not be the most complex lavender fragrance, it does display a wide range of earthy, deep nuances that are rarely featured in mainstream offerings. Its gourmand base also manifests in a measured manner as long as I don’t overapply, which helps to avoid triggering gourmand fatigue too often. Personally, I find it more “lavender” and less gourmand than Rochas Man and Mugler A*Men. Although I would hesitate to recommend it to fans of fresh lavender fragrances, Lavandes Trianon would be an interesting option to consider if one ever wants to venture into gourmand territory, and vice-versa for lavender-phobe gourmand fan.

Simply put Lavandes Trianon smells like lavender petals dipped in warm milk with crystallized sugar sprinkled on top. One of the best comfort fragrances I own that lasts a long time on me plus it’s one of those rare fragrances that I could smell it all the time when I’m wearing it. A gourmand with twist that smells very natural to my nose worth every penny in my opinion and definitely worth checking out.
Оblivion – :
If you like Lavender and Vanilla, it’s no debate, you need this in your life. It smells like lavender and baked goods. People won’t stop telling me how good I smell.
Belfmiffvex – :
Anyone who loves Rochas Man and New Haarlem style could easily blind buy this one. A mouth-watering refined caramel and lavender that is an absolute delicacy.

Total surprise!
Never really cared much for Lancôme since they’ve become part of L’Oréal, but I must admit this is nothing short of sensational!
As soon as I sprayed it on, people came up to me and complimented me (which I rarely get as I am such a “French Whorehouse” trying too many different things at once).
I would position this somewhere between AMOUAGE “Sun” for men and “Un Homme” de Caron but a bit softer and rounder, courtesy of the milk (lactonic) accord.
Something in the dry down is a bit bitter, I remembered but overall this is a keeper!
Verdict: 8/10 total unisex. Uncomplicated feel-good day scent.
Vick – :
This starts out strong, herbal lavender. Then it’s joined by a sweet vanilla and the lavender becomes barbershop lavender. I was expecting this to be sweeter and creamier, but was disappointed. The drydown is very masculine on me. It smells like Barbasol shaving cream mixed with vanilla. It’s a scrubber for me.

Simply Divine.
Sophisticated in a warm and embracing way.
It is difficult to find a go good modern lavender.
Here we have a nowdays version of Mouchoir de Monsieur but distant from that.
It has a sort of little santal-iris presence also.
Well mostly, when the elegant lavender is gone, Trianon become a big sugary vanille, metallic cotton candy side and caramel.
Delicious, yes it is gourmand but princely, not childish.
Directly from the site of Lancome:
The assembly of two French Lavandes originating from the Drôme Provençale, softened by a signature Crystallized Vanilla.
The Essence of Fine Lavender cultivated in high altitude, with fresh and fusing notes, is associated with the Absolute Lavender of Provence with the balsamic character.
Remember me something of the 90s and finally I have found the link. It is A-Man, which is more complex and actually I don’t like as fragrance an i cant say thei are similar, but it contains as well a lot of vanilla milk caramel and lavander.

I purchased this from lancomes site directly. This perfumes smells exactly like the original Dior Addict. It is very floral or maybe its the lavender. I don’t smell any vanilla or creme Brulee – I do not consider this a gourmand perfume. Gourmand scents are my favorite. The silage and longevity of this perfume is pretty strong but not overwhelming. I am disappointed in this scent because I was expecting more of a gourmand scent so I am returning this scent.

Just launched fresh in harrods London over the weekend!! I got to try all the new collection fragrances in the range!! This lavender is the best I’ve tried!! It’s creamy lavender with notes of caramel and vanilla!! It’s not soft and tame, nor is it loud!! It’s a relaxing lavender with beautiful sweet notes!! I will be buying this soon!! It does remind me a little of lush twilight but this is far more beautiful and well constructed!!
