Advantages: They were free samples

Disadvantages: Smells yucky on me!

Nostril assault should be made a criminal offence, punishable by death...or at least something quite nasty.

I recently had my nostrils assaulted when my Aunt (who works in a perfume department) gave me some free samples of this perfume by Lancome.

I spritzed a little on my neck and wrists, only to find I was sneezing and coughing from the hugely overpowering stench of, what I can only describe as, rotting rose petals.

You know when you have a vase of flowers and after a few days the water goes a bit nasty if you forget to change it...and the flowers themselves are a bit too 'ripe' smelling? Well, now imagine a bowl of peaches left on a sunny window ledge for weeks. Mix up the flowers and peaches in a big bucket and take a whiff...this is 'Tresor'!

It's *so* cloying and, I think, old fashioned smelling. It's like nothing I've ever smelt before. I would imagine Bette Davis in the film 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?' film wearing this perfume. It's fake and chemical-ish and made me sneeze as if I had hayfever. I jumped straight in the shower and scrubbed myself clean!

Now, the really weird thing is, I have smelt other people wearing this and it's lovely on them! It only goes to show you can never judge a perfume by how it smells on a friend or one of those 'scratch and sniff' panels in magazines. You really have to wait and see how it reacts with your skin, according to the acidity levels and so on.

So thanks, Auntie Sandra, but I'm very glad I didn't actually buy a bottle to find out I hated it!

Maybe you will be one of the people it smells lovely on... I know I'm not!
