Once again I have learned something!
Many who already know me here know that I love the Lancome scents!) Especially the la nuit tresor line:) I was very excited about idols and was looking forward to testing them even more!:) I was also able to get to know and test idols through a perfume sample. Admittedly I am still extremely unsure what my opinion on this fragrance is! It also reminds me a little of Comme une Evidence L'Eau de Parfum by Yves Rocher ( But only very discreet!). This time I had decided to test idols with my mother because I know from my grandfather that he doesn't like flowery scents and that he would only say bad or boring... And I think I would have made progress with that and nobody here...My mother, on the other hand, likes it now and then flowery and fresh:) (which I can't really say about myself either:D) I and my mother had made us chic because we wanted to go out together, she said we could both apply a little bit of the scent and then we can see in the course of the day how it develops so. I thought it was a good idea!:) So I sprayed myself two, and she sprayed herself three to D. Something I have to say about the H+S is the bomb! One perceives then extremely strongly and clearly... I don't know any other Lancome now either;))

So I will now simply describe how it developed on my skin and on those of my mother:)...

On my mother's skin:
With her, the fragrance was much sweeter and softer than with me, I think. I smelled a very beautiful and pleasant light, powdery but nevertheless refreshing feminine rose note*-* Also bergamot was clearly perceptible with her, especially when spraying on, but then the note became lighter and more discreet... What I've felt so much more attached to! But I could also smell the pear most intensively from my mother. It wasn't an artificial or stabbing pear note!
Much more a juicy and sweet pear where you want to bite the person in the wrist: D musk gave the fragrance the certain something I can not describe so! All in all she liked the scent very well which I could understand well!:) ( no wonder if it smells so good with her!) She gave the scent 8 out of 10 points...:) Also I find that, the very beautiful and special smells with her on the skin:)))

Now I'm describing how that smells on my skin...

On my skin...:
Alsoooo where am I supposed to start... something I must say however!.... On my skin it didn't smell as great as on my mother's skin...:((( Already when I sprayed it on I could smell an unpleasant mossy slightly sour note...:(( Which unfortunately wasn't such a nice start for me! But well, you can't have everything in life! The rose note... that was personally too penetrating for me, which has become soapier and more piercing... Had I wished for a more pleasant rose (on my skin):( The pear note was the worst in the whole fragrance! It was extremely synthtic and penetratingly sweet, a pity I think! Since she was sooo beautiful with my mother!...:( The bergamot on the other hand was more bearable and more pleasant. That took the synthetic sweet and refreshed for fragrance course:))) Which became more pleasant for my nose:)) Nevertheless, I have noticed that this scent is not for me! And once again I have learned how different scents can be for every human being!:))) But even here I have to stress that the scent is not bad! But not the latest! Nevertheless, I think that it is better to test the fragrance before and then buy it! Since that wasn't soo beautiful on my skin I give idols 5 out of 10 points.

As already mentioned, H+S is very, very good! Idols kept with my mother and also with me all day long. Which is very rare in fresh/floral fragrances. I hope the commentary/text is well written and accurate because I put a lot of effort into it but also liked to write from the bottom of my heart:)❤

Unexpected often comes..
...this was also confirmed today, when I made an unsuspecting spontaneous ramble through the Dougi of my trust. There was the newest creation from Lancome on the shelf, like Phoenix from the ashes, framed by LVEB and the La Nuit Tresor diamonds.

The imposing, super slim bottle is reminiscent of a smartphone. (Funnily enough, you can even buy a suitable protective cover made of silicone to take the good piece with you on your travels!)

In addition, it was immediately noticeable how "prone to tipping" the bottle is: One jag of the tester cap had already been broken off! ^^
Nevertheless, the filigree bottle made of delicate rose gold makes a good impression and immediately stands out from the crowd.

I then sprayed my wrist twice full of expectation and continued to rummage through the corridors. The idol starts, as expected, florally pure. According to the above information, there is no classical fragrance pyramid... Nevertheless, one has the impression during the course that one is walking along a lush flower bed. Gradually, each of the majestic flowers opens and reveals its unique scent.

I'm certainly not a fan of flowery scents, but this one is different. It's neither pompous, nor does it seem dusty or "outdated". I never really understood what 'Chypre' really means, by the way. Here I interpret it for myself as a kind of patchouli, which prevents the flowers from slipping into the soap.

When all the flowers have finally opened up and shine in full splendour, a fruity pear is added to the coronation and gives the bouquet a completely new, fresh touch.

By the way, if you're afraid that the scent is sticky and sweet, I can calm you down... This is not the case!
H+S are definitely in the upper range. There's nothing to complain about.

I am really enthusiastic and enjoy the unexpected newcomer very much! :)

The idol on the wall ...
... and the scent on your hand.

In the past I always did the newspaper shopping for the family, because then reading matter also dropped for me.

For grandma " home and world " , for daddy " mirrors " and " Titanic " , for mom " Burda fashions " - and for me auto motor sport , Bravo and Fix and Foxi.

My parents - unlike other parents - had nothing against my reading preferences - and they didn't have the impression that it impoverished my language - as it was spread by the teachers.

The pedagogues were at war with Bravo and all the comics.

I didn't have to, like some girlfriends, secretly read Bravo.

And especially beautiful was the Bravo star cut.
One collected from each issue a body part of his idol, and then put it in life size on the wall.

My idol back then was Barry Ryan - and I got soft knees when he sobbed "Eloise" into the microphone.

And this pleasant memory awakens idols in me.

It conveys this youthful, enthusiastic mood - which I often miss in everyday life today.

Yes, I am inclined to enthuse for this balanced fragrance, like Barry at the time
The soft rose also hides a hint of nostalgia in idols - but without sentimentality, because his basic mood is cheerful.
The pear appears clear and aquatic and jasmine provides brightness.
Of Chypre only a slight unseifige hunch.

A bright, turned towards day scent that also awakens bright memories.

Nevertheless, on You Tube I will click on " Eloise " and " Love is Love " and dream teen dreams

I Never Walk Alone
After I know what a "chypre" is,
i'm gonna say that's not a "chypre"!

After having skimmed some comments and statements here, read them only in parts, partly or even completely, and looked at the reviews, it seems that "Idôle" is rather a "commonplace scent". Nothing special, so completely or only "okay" maybe, at the end still "quite nice" maybe, ..., whereby we all know that "quite nice" is often only the little sister of " ... " means...

After the first test in the perfumery, I had probably let myself be influenced more by the opinion of 2 friends, who first had the tester: "Noooo sweet - smell it too!" and quickly put it away again. Opinions are subjective, I didn't think he was toouuuuu sweet, but it went on, back then.

But the temptation remained too big for me, because first of all I did not like the fragrance badly, and secondly, quite independently of that, the temptation of the bottle is not to be underestimated at all!
And "One plus two" became "Buy!" - without further aftertest.

After "all that" I already said the other day in a statement how I feel the perfume is presented in brief:
Idôle is gentle. Quiet. A silent companion. Almost imaginary. One that still keeps telling you, "I'm with you. I'm not leaving you. You smell, smell good!"
It kind of makes you feel safe, doesn't it? Even without being annoying or sticky!

Right from the start there is nothing pungent or biting. In the beginning also here again a little bit the pear. Not as direct as in Irrésistible (Givenchy), but very light, because somewhere under a wafting scent of a bouquet of fresh field and meadow flowers, grated with the fingers. A touch of the rose always present. All this carried by jasmine and musk.
For me, the fragrance remains stable overall - for some, it may become boring. But I say no, because it delivers what it promises. And for as long as it lasts. And the durability is also quite impressive.

Idôle - a very pleasant, unobtrusive, soft fragrance, becoming more and more skin-tight, but never leaving you. No fragrance for the evening. No fragrance to go out. No special scent. Not a common scent. An all-round beautiful scent. Light. Fresh. A feeling of well-being throughout the day.

I don't think our tête à tête will be short.

My new Chloe
Lately, I've been keeping a low profile on blind buying. Also in the perfumeries I did not find anything I wanted to buy.
I became curious by the comments to idols. "Rose" and "soap".
For years, Chloe was my signature scent. My sister said Chloe smells like me.
So, long story short, I ordered idols blind.
Tested, walked into the living room, my husband said, "So, it's Chloe time again?"
My husband is an absolute Chloe fan, that's how he met me.
You already notice what it comes down to.
Idole has an incredible resemblance to Chloe.
Chloe's more fabric softener. Somewhat more stabbing.
With idols, I can't perceive a large fragrance, it's definitely very rosy. Pleasantly pink for me. At the beginning flowery.
And it's long lasting!!
Even with the horses in the stable, this rosy scent blows around me the next day. He holds in his hair also prima.
For me an evergreen and a worthy Chloe successor :)

Sorry, not for me. It is fresh, innocent and uplifting but I can't stop relating it to a generic air spray. Rose is difficult for me.

The smell is soft and classy, and it will get you a lot of compliments; however, people would tell me I smell like a 40yo business woman.

She's that nice linear citrusy rose. Perfect when you want to wear something simple, familiar and feminine. Basic, but still nice anyhow.

Lancôme sure knows the equation for crowd-pleasing scents, and that’s not a bad thing. There’s room on my shelf for another beautiful rose.
