Idole

Idôle Le Parfum is the richer version of Lancôme's slim-bottle rose. The pear and bergamot opening is brief; what follows is a clean, glowing rose over jasmine, with a warm vanilla and musk base that keeps it from reading too sharp. It stays close, so it is comfortable for offices and daytime in warm weather, and lasts a working day without needing a top-up. The customers who ask for it tend to be younger and want a rose that does not smell like their mother's.
