Idôle
Idôle by Lancôme is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2019 in the designer price tier. It opens with pear and bergamot, moves into rose and jasmine and dries down to white musk, vanilla and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
