The brief
Sophia Grojsman built it on her signature rose-iris-peach accord, a structural skeleton she would later reuse in Calvin Klein Eternity (1988) and Yves Saint Laurent Paris (1983).
Name'Trésor' — French for 'treasure', framing the fragrance as an intimate, jewel-like indulgence.
Why it mattered
- Reformulated and relaunched as the bestseller Trésor La Nuit in 2010; the original 1990 formula popularised Grojsman's 'pillowy rose' style for an entire decade.
Worn by
Isabella Rossellini1990
Was the face of Trésor for over a decade starting in 1990, in a controversial Lancôme contract that ended in 1995 amid an age-discrimination scandal.
Kate Winslet2014
Succeeded Rossellini as Trésor's brand face from 2014.
The Curator's Note
Lancôme fired Rossellini for being too old. The perfume lost something it has never recovered.
