Idôle L'Intense

Idôle L'Intense is a deeply floral, woody, and creamy fragrance that builds on the original Idôle with stronger character and a more mature profile. It opens with a bright, juicy burst of bitter orange and mandarin, quickly transitioning into a rich tapestry of rose and jasmine that carries a subtle, elegant sweetness. The core of the scent is a warm, velvety blend of vanilla, cashmere wood, and sandalwood, which gives it a comforting, luxurious depth while remaining refined. A minimalist patchouli note provides structure without overwhelming. The drydown is smooth and skin-like, with a delicate soapy nuance that some find nostalgic or pleasing, though others describe it as detergent-like or reminiscent of fancy body wash. Longevity is strong, easily lasting 8–12 hours, and sillage is moderate to generous—enough to attract attention without being overpowering. It performs best in cooler months and feels most at home in a spring or fall context, suitable for both day and evening wear.
