Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose is an eau de parfum for women from the Trésor family, in a 50 ml bottle. Lancôme describes it as a floral and fruity fragrance, in which rose meets raspberry, jasmine, and blackcurrant. The faceted bottle transitions from pink to purple and has a purple rose around its neck.

How it smells

• Top notes: jasmine, peony, blackcurrant, and pink pepper. The opening is fruity and slightly spicy.
• Heart notes: rose and raspberry absolutes, which give the fragrance its character.
• Base notes: Virginia cedarwood, vanilla, and musk, for a soft finish.

The brand calls it an all-round "captivating and sexy" floral bouquet. Lancôme says that raspberry does not appear in its classic form, but through its fruity aroma.

How to apply it

1. Use it on clean skin, a few minutes after applying body cream.
2. Spray on the wrists and behind the ears.
3. Hold the bottle close to the skin, so the fragrance does not pool in one spot.
4. Do not rub your wrists together.
5. Start with two sprays; for evening, you can add one to the neck.

ProBeauty's tip. If you like floral fragrances with a red fruit note, Midnight Rose is a great place to start. Red fruits make it playful, while vanilla and musk round it out towards the finish.

Lancôme Idôle L'Intense is an intense eau de parfum for women from the Idôle collection, in a 75 ml bottle. Lancôme places it in the chypre floral family: a luminous rose and jasmine, tied together by a clean accord and warmed with vanilla. Lancôme says it retains the signature of Idôle Le Parfum, with a clean accord that is stronger than ever.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Isparta rose and jasmine. The flowers are noticeable from the first sprays.
• Heart notes: a "clean" chypre accord, meaning a sensation of cleanliness and radiance, "clean & glow", as Lancôme calls it.
• Base notes: cedarwood and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, which linger closest to the skin.

The brand says that rose, jasmine and the "clean & glow" accord are the pillars of Idôle, and in L'Intense they become more sensual. The result is a warm floral, with a touch of vanilla.

How to apply it

1. Apply the perfume after a shower, to clean and well-moisturized skin.
2. Choose pulse points: the wrists, the base of the neck, the crook of the elbow.
3. Hold the bottle a few centimeters from the skin, so that the spray is even.
4. Let the perfume dry on its own, without rubbing the skin.
5. Being an intense eau de parfum, start with one or two sprays and add more only if you feel the need.

ProBeauty's tip. If you like Idôle Le Parfum, but it seems too subtle to you, L'Intense retains the same idea, with more warmth. The 75 ml bottle is the good choice if you wear it daily.

• Base notes: Tahitensis vanilla absolute and patchouli essence, which warm it up at the end.

Perfumers Amandine Marie and Christophe Raynaud created it for Lancôme. Being an eau de toilette, it is lighter than an eau de parfum.

2. Spray on the wrists, behind the ears, and on the back of the knees, as Lancôme recommends.
3. Hold the bottle away from the skin, not touching it.
4. Let the perfume dry on its own.

When to wear it

Lancôme designed it for both day and evening.

How to apply it

1. Spray the eau de parfum directly onto the skin, as recommended by Lancôme.
2. Focus on pulse points: the inside of the wrists and the neckline.
3. Do not rub your wrists together.

ProBeauty's tip. If this is your first encounter with La Vie Est Belle, start with the travel spray. Wear it for a full day, and only open the large bottle when you know it suits you.

It is a floral perfume, a charming, energetic and discreet fragrance at the same time, which can be used every day. Miracle opens with a dizzying duo of freesia and lychee. This is followed by the surprising aroma of magnolia, enveloped in energetic wafts of ginger, sprinkled with delicate pepper. The fascinating experience is completed by the delicate, almost transparent presence of jasmine and the clean sensuality of musk.
