When I was younger, the traditional way women wore fragrance was to choose one perfume and stay faithful to it, so it became almost part of their personality. My mother [actress Ingrid Bergman] always wore L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci. When I smell that, of course I still think of Mama.
My scent has always been Trésor—it's like my second skin.

That is a great story. I wonder if she has a huge stash of vintage Trésor from when it was first launched, because that stuff was pure rosy-peachy Grojsman gloriousness, and the reformulation really isn’t.
Still, it’s kind of nice that the original face of a scent actually likes it that much.
Agree, lovely story!
Yes, I love those kinds of stories. I used to love Tresor back in its original days and especially the parfum concentration. I hope she has lots of it from those days! I don’t think I can give up my collection, but I’m still envious of the signature scent folks.
Yes, I feel exactly that envy too, despite my many bottles.
She sat next to me in a park in midtown, nyc, years ago. It was her birthday as I heard her talk about it on her phone. She had no makeup on and was just beautiful.
She really is stunning. Beautiful inside and out.
Did she smell like Tresor?
I wonder if Lancome secretly supplies her with un-reformulated Tresor, kept just for her? 🙂
The stuff on the counters today seems fairly unpleasant to me. I never smelled it back in the day.
Oh, wouldn’t that be nice!
