Our take
What does La Nuit Trésor Musc Diamant smell like?
Lancôme added this musky version to the La Nuit Trésor line in 2019, without a clearly credited perfumer. The idea is simple: take a Damask rose and wrap it in a heavy dose of white musk. The opening pairs tart raspberry with violet leaf, green and faintly metallic. You notice the musk within the first minute. In the heart the rose stays centre stage, flanked by freesia and jasmine. It feels filtered, though, as if seen through a curtain. The base is softer than you might expect: creamy sandalwood, light vanilla and an almond note that recalls fresh laundry. Patchouli barely shows up. Next to the 2015 La Nuit Trésor, which is darker and sweeter, Musc Diamant goes for clean skin. Longevity is good but projection drops off after two hours.
When to wear it
A date or a quiet evening, spring through winter. Three sprays are fine, since the musk fades quickly at a distance.
It belongs to the Floral, Musky family. La Nuit Trésor Musc Diamant is one of 33 creations by Lancôme in our encyclopedia.
