LANCOME HOLIDAY GIFT SET REVIEW

Was really pleased and happy to get this gift for christmas.

I’ve tried all the bottles and would purchase the full sized bottles of all of them.

This gift is perfect for trying out different perfumes if you now only purchase products online.

I realise it sounds like I’m not trying or recommending anything.

1st I am a perfume junky.

and

2nd I’ve always loved what I term, ‘pink’ perfume.

Before we had to shop online I discovered pink perfume was retailed in a lot of different shops at different prices but just about always smelt fairly similar so I called it pink perfume.

I’ve noticed some perfume bloggers don’t like it as it is always the same, but I loved it as I knew I could rely on the pink perfume fragrance I loved always being the same.

I always wore it in the daytime.

I think these 3 pink fragrances are similar and like, ‘pink perfume’

I’ll use the samples up and maybe choose which one I like best in the process.

La Vie est Belle is LancÔme’s best selling feminine fragrance that captures the luminosity of Magnolia Essence.

The finishing touch of refinement: a pearlescent grey organza ribbon is tied around its neck, forming the twin wings of freedom.

I need to study these more as the ingredients do change in them.

I would like to find more of these pink perfumes from other brands and choose my top recommendations.

review

This is gorgeous really want to get the full sized bottle.

Very feminine.

I would wear this to impress and appear sophisticated.

Lancôme

la-nuit-tresor-eau-de-parfum

Fragrance Family: Woody Floral Ambery

Fragrance Notes:

  • Top: Raspberry, Lychee & Bergamot
  • Heart: Frankincense & Rose
  • Base: Vanilla Tahitensis, Patchouli & Papyrus

The Fragrance
Discover La Nuit TrÉsor, a sultry, smouldering perfume for women with notes of fresh raspberry, frankincense, and vanilla, with a bewitching heart of Black Rose essence.

This fragrance is LancÔme’s first ‘Gourmand Woody Floral Ambery’ perfume, a scent of passionate love – as showcased in the new advert featuring the beautiful Penelope Cruz.

The La Nuit TrÉsor bottle is shaped like a black diamond, the most mysterious and precious of all diamonds, and adorned with a black rose choker as a symbol of elegance.

This rich and exquisite women’s perfume was crafted by two master perfumers who combined their craftsmanship to create La Nuit TrÉsor Eau de Parfum.

Beginning with a burst of delicious raspberry, the notes of a Damascena rose have then been enhanced to give the fragrance a deep and mysterious scent. Vanilla, grown on the petals of an orchid in Tahiti, gives the fragrance a solar and radiant note.

review

This is sugary, but then you are drawn to something strong enough to make it an exotic fragrance and keep you interested.

It reminds me a bit of Armani Code from what I can remember ~ love that fragrance.

Giorgio Armani Code for Women Eau de Parfum 75ml
Fragrance Family: Floral Amber

Fragrance Notes:
Top: Jasmine & Orange
Heart: Orange Blossom
Base: Honey & Vanilla

The Fragrance
Simple yet sensual, comforting yet captivating. A spellbinding fragrance evoking the same elegance as a GIORGIO ARMANI red-carpet dress. ARMANI Code is the signature fragrance for women by GIORGIO ARMANI.

Orange Blossom is the Muse of this creation: a miracle of the nature, the quintessence of femininity. A unique creation reveals this flower’s full magic and operates its metamorphosis by the incredibly soft embrace of Madagascar vanilla and a touch of honey. Sambac jasmine, from India, amplifies the radiance and elegance of this celebration of noble materials.

Code

There could be similarities as they are both floral Amber.

I used to wear Armani Code when I had made a candelight dinner for two before the extractor fan went.

Used to dress up and do the whole Fanny Craddock 70’s lifestyle thing.

Love both of the Tresor fragrances.

Guess One is for daytime and one for evening.

The nuit is stronger.

As a guide maybe floral is daytime and Woody Floral Ambery is evening.

Conclusion

If I was choosing this in a shop today would need to think it over and go back a few times.

They may advise both of the Tresor fragrances; wonder if the nightime layers on top of the daytime one? to take you from daytime to evening.

You could wear Tresor to shop for dinner in expensive deli’s, then top up with evening Tresor when you are sitting down to dinner.

Just tried this idea, Nuit works on top of Tresor, it is less sugary, quite like this effect as I don’t like sugary.

Strong sophistication.

To get back to the actual review I think this gift is brilliant and I would presume most women and young ladies would love this gift.

10/10

The gift has been taken off Boots so not sure what the price was.

I’d get it again but possibly don’t need to now.

Would definately purchase it for a gift.

Would like to get all the full size bottles next.

I guess I need to keep trying the samples to work out if I have favourites.

Hope you enjoy this review and you can purchase the full sized bottles if any appeal to you.
