This year's US Fragrance Foundation Awards took place online, in lieu of the traditional in-person event
By Dennis Keller / Lifestyle EditorThe Fragrance Foundation (TFF) held its annual awards ceremony to honor the year’s most prestigious fragrances and Lancôme Trésor won the 2021 Hall of Fame Award. Ambassadress Isabella Rossellini accepted the award on the brand’s behalf in front of a global audience of 3,000 people. The award follows Lancôme’s 2020 win for Idôle as Fragrance of the Year – Women’s Prestige.
“It is an honor to receive the Fragrance Foundation’s Hall of Fame Award on behalf of the worldwide Lancôme team,” says Stuart Leitch, President, Lancome USA. “Trésor is the fragrance of treasured moments and is internationally recognized for its strong identity of love, romance and elegance which has made it one of the greatest women’s fragrance classics of all time.”
Launched in 1990, the Eau de Parfum, by Perfumer Sophia Grojsman, is quietly radiant, intermingling the elegance of rose, muguet and lilac with the sparkle of an apricot blossom. This delicate and light fragrance has a romantic and smooth touch. Ultimately, Trésor evolves into a sensuous, lingering profusion of sandalwood, amber and musk, blending subtly to compose a round bouquet, in which top and heart notes mingle and support each other. Trésor is presented in the iconic inverted crystal pyramid with diamond-shaped cap. The elegant bottle is angled with rounded edges, representing the softness of the wearer. The band is black, the color a subtle reminder of the power of love and the woman embracing it. The juice is a golden peach, as radiant as the woman in love who wears it.
