Idôle Lancôme 2019

I have tested many old and new perfumes in the perfumeries over the last few years. Especially the new releases have not inspired me for a long time. They were always so... flat ?
My mother gave me a miniature of idols yesterday. I was very happy that I could now test the new release of Lacome.
I just pulled off the Squirt and sniffed at it. My first thought was, "Oh, he smells like Ever Bloom of Shiseido." I have to say, I really like Ever Bloom. It just unfortunately doesn't last 10 minutes.

To the fragrance:
Before I saw the fragrance pyramid, I simply felt the fragrance to be rosy and soapy. Really quite soapy even (which I like though).
It reminds me of a beautiful rose soap. However, the rose is not fresh and full-bodied, but sweetish. Now I know that the juicy sweetness must come from the pear. Pear is always difficult to find in perfumes. Sometimes she smells too sweet, sometimes too musty. But here the pear is the perfect complement to sweeten the rose pleasantly. It's juicy and sweet.

I know that many idols also feel flat and boring. I, on the other hand, am glad that Lancôme brings out a soapy fragrance and hopefully sets a new direction. I much prefer to smell soapy scents that remind me of fresh laundry, on every corner, rather than gourmand scents that almost suffocate you.
Let us hope that the days of LVEB are numbered :D
