Official scent notes explained
Bergamot, pear and pink pepper
The opening combines citrus brightness, fruity sweetness and a gentle pepper facet, but does not reveal material percentages.
Rose and jasmine
Rose and jasmine define the floral heart of the original Idôle, without needing other unlisted flowers to explain its character.
White musk, vanilla, patchouli and cedar
The declared base brings a clean musky impression and woody warmth. A musk note does not necessarily indicate natural animal musk.
