Latest Reviews of Idylle

Perhaps he was charged with producing a very commercial fragrance that would help Guerlain's finances. Since then, of course, there's Mon Guerlain, which, I suspect, fits in with both his ambitions for Guerlain and a piece of his heart. Idylle, a lovely white room in the Hamptons, competition for Jadore, next door. I personally like Lilas Jasmin, the flanker, better.

I sampled the EDP formulation in the original gold bottle - I would be worried about longevity with the EDT as the EDP has only moderate longevity.

Idylle is a nice white-flowers smell, heavy on the lily but with noticeable jasmine as well. It's powdery and soapy and clean and also creamy and sweet with vanilla, but with subtle indoles and a sour green streak acting as a counterpoint to all the clean elements, creating the illusion of a chypre in the background.
In a way, it's unremarkable - another nice lily perfume - but the attention to detail (the way the indoles fuse with the greens and the vanilla gives this a remarkable depth often missing in this sort of perfume), earns it a thumbs up.


When the rose enters, it, too, comes on softly, and lasts well. A little cooler than the opening freesia, the rose seems to flow naturally from the opening accord. The rose note is not a grabber, but it is adequately competent as rose notes go.
The base retains the fragrance's strong-but-descrete floral character combined with a subtle white musk… if there's patchouli present, I don't smell it. The base is even softer than the prier levels. Idylle is a pleasant, softly feminine sort of fragrance one that would serve beautifully as a background rather than an attention-getter. Cleanly structured, beautifully performing in its subtlety and longevity.

Rich opening.this scent is a contrast between different flowers but rose is sublime.It remindes me a little magnifique but this is Gerlain style a particular style that not for everyone.It makes perfect harmony with a beautiful black dress and sparkly jewels.
In my opinion Idylle is one of those you would not leave your wrist because you are addict with it.I would recommend it yo any lady who is looking for a classy and attractive scent for special moments.suitable for autumn/spring and a great surprise for present too.
