Idylle Duet

I absolutely cannot stand floral perfumes but this Beauty here is amazing . The balance with patchouli (which i truly love) is fantastic. I did get lots of compliments. For me it is a very beautiful fragrance that works very well in warm seasons (note that i am more a woody-oriental-dark perfume lover).. It was a limited edition and bought 2 bottles. I finished one but still have totally sealed the other because I want to keep it untouched! I love it. Actually i am still looking for a decent substitute. who has actually suggestion?

There are not a lot of perfumes I can handle. Every time I find one, it goes out of process. I came upon this one at the Beauty and the Beast Garden within Walt Disney World, in Orlando, FL. (Epcot center). I fell-in-love with it, instantly! It is such a delicate and amazingly beautiful scent. If I could I would wear it every day, but it is one that is limited edition (of course :( ) so I wear it when I want to feel extra happy, or need some sunshine for my day. It is an exquisite perfume!!

I love this. Its just beautiful. For some occassions I might consider it a bit heavy, but I like it so much so I just wear it anyway. It lasts forever and has good sillage. The smell is rounded, flowery and warm, but not in the simple way. This is not the perfume for your teenage daughter. Guerlain really gives us the good stuff.

This is a beauty , more rose and patchouli . This is what I had hoped Portrait of a Lady would be like. I think it's a special edition so I'll have to stock up.

I retried Duet yesterday and have completely changed my mind about this fragrance. So my previous review is now removed. I guess my nose must have been ansomic or something when I first tried it. At that time I thought it was a weak restrained and "nothing special" patchouli-rose fragrance. But now when I tried it again it really captured my heart and jumped straight up on my want list. It's a duet between rose and patchouli indeed, I can hardly smell any other particular flowery notes as they are so well blended. The rose in itself is stunning and the patchouli adds a creamy caramel note to the rose, and a fruity one too which in all creates a more voluptuous rose smell. When it dries down it becomes more musky and stays closer to skin. The projection is medium and the staying power could have been better, but you can always reapply later in the day :) I was never too found of original Idylle that smelt too much lily of the valley for my taste. But this beauty is well worth buying if you find it. The only downside is that it may be hard to get.
