Idôle L'Eau de Parfum Nectar Lancôme 2022

Among all the other scents I tested that day at Müller, Idôle Nectar stood out clearly. It has something very special. No other fragrance smelled like this. So I bought it on a whim.

To me, it smells rosy, clean, and sweetly dry. A beautiful, rounded fabric softener rose. Nothing pricks me.

The longevity is very, very good. About 10-12 hours. And for me, it even performed very well in the tropics. Due to the constantly humid skin, even other long-lasting fragrances quickly gave up the ghost there, as they were washed away by sweat. But this one stayed! When the air in Bali was thick and full of exhaust and smoke, Idôle Nectar gave me a fresh cleanliness that I desperately longed for.

I recognize the relationship to the original Idôle, but here comes the clue: In the Nectar version, there is no patchouli compared to the original. And I find that so, so great! I recently discovered that all the fragrances that prick my nose and give me headaches have one common denominator: patchouli.

Therefore, Idôle Nectar is the better and more wearable version of Idôle for me.
