ROMANTIC ROSE Trésor Midnight Rose, the latest addition in Lancôme’s iconic Trésor fragrance family, embodies a mischievous sense of femininity.
Lancôme introduces Trésor Midnight Rose, a scent inspired by the romance of Paris at dusk—a time when the city is filled with those who engage in the exhilarating game of love. Created by Perfumer Anne Flipo, the scent begins on a tangy note of raspberry which adds sparkle to the petals of jasmine and peony and is freshened by blackcurrant bud absolute and intense pink pepper. Deep, intense ribbons of rose absolute form the heart while voluptuous vanilla mingles with musk and Virginia cedar essence for a captivating drydown. The sparkling scent is encased in a faceted bottle that blushes powder pink to violet, with an elegant satin rosette at the neck. Lancôme Ambassadress and Actress Emma Watson is the face of Trésor Midnight Rose. This is Ms. Watson’s first campaign since joining the Lancôme family. Shot by legendary Photographer Mario Testino, the print ad and television campaign evoke the free-spirited, 60s icon Jean Seberg. Trésor Midnight Rose is offered in a 1 oz. Eau de Parfum for $44.00; 1.7 oz., $56.00 and 2.5 oz., $75.00. It is available at Lancôme counters and lancome.com.
