What does Idylle (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable trail close by without filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall. Daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Its character reads largely feminine.
It opens with raspberry, lychee, rose and freesia, which give a fruity freshness. In the heart, peony, lilac, lily of the valley and jasmine push the floral side towards green and powdery. White musk and patchouli close it on a soft, lightly sweet base.
