Fragrance Profile

• Fragrance Family: Chypre Floral

• Top Notes: The scent opens with a fresh and juicy combination of pear and bergamot, with a hint of spicy pink pepper.

• Middle Notes: The heart of the fragrance is a clean and radiant floral bouquet. It features two types of roses—Isparta Rose from Turkey and Centifolia Rose from France—along with jasmine. This combination creates a "clean and glow" effect.

• Base Notes: The dry down is a modern and soft chypre accord of white musk, vanilla, patchouli, and cedarwood. The base provides a subtle warmth and a long-lasting, clean scent.

Scent and Vibe

Idôle is designed to be a contemporary, empowering, and confident scent. It's often described as a "clean floral" or "musky rose." The rose notes are not heavy or old-fashioned; instead, they are fresh, dewy, and modern. It's a versatile fragrance suitable for everyday wear, office environments, and a variety of seasons. The overall feel is fresh, elegant, and sophisticated without being overpowering.

The Bottle

The bottle is a key part of Idôle's identity. It is famously one of the thinnest perfume bottles in the world, a sleek and horizontal silhouette designed to lie flat on a vanity. This minimalist design, with its rose gold frame and a centered golden sphere, is meant to symbolize female determination and a new era of femininity.
