What does Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Voters lean towards spring and fall, with winter ahead of summer, and most place it in night-out and evening settings, though daily and business wear also get votes. It reads feminine.

It opens with patchouli and rose, then a floral heart of peony, jasmine, lily of the valley and freesia, settling on a soft musk base. Fruity and sweet touches sit beside the fresh florals, with a spicy, woody warmth behind them. Gucci Rush and Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
