By the editors · 2 min readThe 1990 original — Sophia Grojsman's Trésor, the platonic Lancôme rose-peach-sandalwood. Black currant and rose flash at the open with the high-pitched velvet that defined a decade of department-store florals; magnolia threads through the heart.
The genius is in the base: heliotrope-laced sandalwood and vanilla wrapped in apricot and peach skin, with vetiver keeping it from going saccharine. It projects in a warm pink halo and lasts most of a day. Lily of the valley and musk soften the edges further into the dry-down.
Familiar and distinct at once — the perfume your aunt wore that you still recognize on a stranger across a room.
