The bottle is pretty and minimal, very thin but substantially weighted. According to the press release Idôle is world’s thinnest perfume bottle. The design reminds me of cellphone more than a traditional perfume bottle. There’s even an indentation for your fingers, making the bottle easier to hold. It’s pretty and modern, but barely stands on its own and annoyingly I’ve knocked it down several times. I don’t find the scent particularly complex, but very pleasant and easy-to-wear. I don’t notice the vanilla, but the pleasant hints of musk and cedarwood last long on my skin. I had worn Idôle +5 hours and my boyfriend still complemented how nice I smell! This perfume has the potential of being a crowd pleaser, easy to gift and suitable for many occasions. Lancôme Idôle ... MoreThe bottle is pretty and minimal, very thin but substantially weighted.

I had worn Idôle +5 hours and my boyfriend still complemented how nice I smell! This perfume has the potential of being a crowd pleaser, easy to gift and suitable for many occasions. Lancôme Idôle is pleasant modern fragrance. It lacks some of the complexity of luxury perfumes, perhaps because Idôle is strongly a feminine scent and designed to be worn alone (not layered). I appreciate Lancôme’s empowering message and how the bottles are designed to be refilled; that saves both one’s $$$ and the environment. I recommend keeping Idôle in mind if you enjoy feminine scents or looking for present for someone special.

I like the value, appearance, comfort and quality of the perfume. The scent is very pleasant, strong and long-lasting. I also appreciate the size, saying it's a good size great for a purse. Overall, most are happy with the quality, durability, and packaging of the product. I sprayed a super quick squirt on my wrist to test it. When you first put it on your skin, the scent is almost overwhelming, definitely fills the room! After about 20 minutes it balances out, and the scent stops following you around. I put a tiny little bit on my wrist around 2 pm, and this morning, my skin still smells amazing up close. So you definitely want to put it on well before you need it and just a tiny little puff for the right effect.

I am so excited to be reviewing day 1 of the incredible Lancôme advent calendar 2022! Idôle is the iconic Lancôme eau de parfum evoking the aura of a determined, independent, feminine spirit in the modern age. The beauty with this product shines from both within and without. The packaging is exquisite, and truly unique for a perfume. The sun kissed, coral pink liquid is encased within what is touted to be the thinnest perfume bottle yet. The uniquely thin, flat shaped bottle is adorned with a spherical indentation at its core, emulating the core of the spirit of those who choose to adorn this fragrance. The metal cap stays true to the horizontal theming of the bottle’s design. I wanted to keep my deluxe miniature pristine, so I decided to use one of my sample card ... MoreI am so excited to be reviewing day 1 of the incredible Lancôme advent calendar 2022!

The metal cap stays true to the horizontal theming of the bottle’s design. I wanted to keep my deluxe miniature pristine, so I decided to use one of my sample card vials to spritz the parfum on my inner wrists. The juicy pear and bergamot top notes will electrify your senses - awakening your olfactory response and captivating you in a sensorial fruity bliss. The heart of this fragrance is of course the classic rose, with Jasmine absolutes that combine to create a magnificently blooming bouquet. The fragrance is rounded out by a white musk base, complete with the sweet and tender notes of vanilla and cedarwood, and even patchouli. I can see why so many people enjoy this perfume, as it works perfectly for all occasions. The scent has a sort of uplifting effect thanks to the strong fruity top notes - I could imagine spritzing this at the start of a productive day. Admittedly I still like the Nectar rendition the best, as I feel the vanilla here more easily falls to the background. The Nectar is a much more sweet and decadent scent that I believe suits me just a tad better. This perfume is a staple for any Lancôme fan - the perfect way to start this calendar!

I was wearing this perfume while with a friend and he was losing his mind over how deliciously decadent Idole smelled. I absolutely love this perfume. It is so yummy on--I don't even know how to describe it, but I will try. It is a strong, heavy floral without being obnoxiously overbearing! And as much as I adore it, I am seriously unhappy with Lancome for not sending me what I paid for! I paid for engraving, and I got a plain bottle. I knew something was up when it shipped in one day! Shame on you, Lancome! You have lost your highest-end status with me. I considered you the BEST of the higher-end beauty brands--no more! Packaging looked liked a five year old was playing with the items, and at the end of play threw them in the box!

As for the perfume, buy it! Just do not buy it from Lancome if you want to get what you paid for!

If you love to feel empowered, confident and at your best try this perfume! Idôle perfume embodies a fresh floral scent that is so beautiful and elegant. It has rose at the forefront and is the main focus of the scent, it features four roses and fresh jasmine for a clean fragrance which blooms so gracefully. It also has notes of bergamot and juicy pear with a touch of pink peppercorn. This scent also has a really long lasting power as well so it will last a long time. It’s a clean scent making it a perfect perfume for work, school and every day use. The only thing that might be annoying to some is the bottle design. The bottle is designed to lay flat so you can’t stand it upright. It doesn’t bother me however, it may be a deal breaker for someone else who stores ... MoreIf you love to feel empowered, confident and at your best try this perfume!

Today I am reviewing the exciting new iteration of the Idôle line of perfumes. Idôle Aura is a delicious scent that comes to me in this sample vial as a complimentary gift with purchase. The liquid holds this delicate rosy pink hue, and the image of the bottle looks exquisite - displayed in a monochromatic pink ambience and circled with inspirational messages written in the ground. Idôle is probably my favorite perfume from Lancôme, although from what I’ve heard many people wish the bottle had more stability. Upon spraying this on my wrists, I immediately smelled the gorgeous Jasmine and Rose notes as they are presented encrusted with a crystalized salt. This is described as the first “sun-kissed” perfume from Lancôme. The top notes consist of a beautiful rose ... MoreToday I am reviewing the exciting new iteration of the Idôle line of perfumes.

Idôle is probably my favorite perfume from Lancôme, although from what I’ve heard many people wish the bottle had more stability. Upon spraying this on my wrists, I immediately smelled the gorgeous Jasmine and Rose notes as they are presented encrusted with a crystalized salt. This is described as the first “sun-kissed” perfume from Lancôme. The top notes consist of a beautiful rose essence, coupling Isparta and Centifolia roses for a luxurious olfactory introduction. The middle is revealed more with the dry down, and consists of gorgeous white Jasmine with fresh hints of Bergamot. As the olfactory cherry on top, this fragrance melts with the warmth of sun-kissed rose petals upon a decadent base of salted Bourbon Vanilla and musks. There is a clean and crisp dryness to this perfume, like the warm salty air of a desert wind. I actually really enjoy the smell of this fragrance, as it is simple and doesn’t require any one specific personality to wear it. The olfactory trail mostly focuses on the salty rose essence as it cleans the air and paves the way for newfound clarity. The fragrance was inspired by the idea of each person realizing their fullest potential in order to make a lasting impact on the world.

The new Lancôme Idôle Eau de Toilette is something special. I was fortunate to try this perfume courtesy of Influenster. It combines green tea with delicate notes of blooming roses, enhanced by a vibrant burst of bergamot. The result is a refreshing and sophisticated fragrance that balances floral elegance with citrus vitality, creating a captivating and uplifting scent experience. Its mature essence adds an extra layer of refinement, making it perfect for those seeking a timeless and elegant fragrance. With that said, I do believe this fragrance has a more mature scent. It makes for a perfect gift. I personally gifted this to my own mother. She fell in love! It’s a very classy perfume that’s perfect for night day.

It adds a touch of elegance to any surface it graces, with its sleek lines and luxurious aesthetic. It's not just a perfume bottle; it's a statement piece that enhances the entire experience of using Lancôme Idôle Eau de Toilette. Lastly, I found out there’s a whole line of Lancôme Idôle fragrances with various scents! I'm super interested in trying out the "NOW" and "NECTAR" versions next. Seeing how elegant and beautiful this fragrance is, I can only imagine how delightful those will be. Hopefully those will be more suitable for my age.

Best perfume ever - Welcome 2024!

It's a new year; a chance to do better, right? Instead of buying this, I should have put the funds in a rainy day account, made contribution to retirement, added to the kid's college fund, scheduled an oil change for the car, groceries, etc. Should I have spent money on a new perfume, especially this one which is somewhat pricey? Absolutely yes!As soon as the box shipped to my door (quickly too,) and I sprayed a wee bit on my forearm for the first time, I was in love. It was worth it. I'm worth it! Instantly vanished all the guilt I was holding onto for spending cash on myself, on something I didn't need.To me, it's an uplifting scent like sunshine, but also luxurious like a dark green 1955 Bentley Continental.

It's just sweet and flowery enough, but far from obnoxious. It's also boldly passionate and complex. I think this is what Marilyn Monroe must have smelled like. Best of all, a little goes a long way, so it will last a while. The scent seems appropriate for all seasons. I'll absolutely buy this again without any hesitation.Retrospectively, the new year should bring us more happiness than the year prior, so who needs guilt? Lancome Idole EDP was the best way to start 2024.

Not a good impression😅!

"The perfume scent was delightful as usual. This was my first experience ordering directly from Lancôme's website, not from Mayc’s or elsewhere. I wanted to try their customer service system, and since I ordered it as a gift, I requested to add a small note with a few words, which is usually free. When the gift arrived, there was no note or anything of the sort. I felt completely embarrassed and struggled to find it that meant a lot to me, which I consider the essence of the gift. I contacted the customer service and I didn't achieve anything; they just took the necessary steps and literally brushed me off as if saying, 'We're not interested in what you were trying to convey through the gift.' This made me feel embarrassed again. In my opinion, an online store like ... More"The perfume scent was delightful as usual.

In my opinion, an online store like Lancôme shouldn't leave such a negative impact, just because of neglecting a small detail, while their fragrance products are excellent. Even the samples I requested to smell were fantastic. It's just uncomfortable to deal with the website directly again due to their neglect of customer service."
