Idylle Eau Sublime

I am an avid perfume collector and for some reason never tried this perfume in all these years. I ordered a bottle on fragrancenet after being told that this resembles Narcisco for Her. IT IS THE ONE. The one I have been looking for all my life! Seriously heaven on earth. This is SO good to my nose that I can probably stop the search now and just enjoy what I own. I am no good at identifying notes. I don't think I will ever be able to do that. It is amazing to me some of the detailed descriptions some are able to provide to the community. I am just not capable. The opening smells like the sweetest Litchi/rose I have ever smelled. The opening stays with it for a pretty long time. Then you start smelling the musk and to my nose the musk and the floral seem to be equal parts. Best of both worlds. I never knew (before I started collecting for at least a year) that I love musk. This is truly Amazing. So beautiful that I really do think I can stop collecting for the most part. This is truly the absolute best I have ever tried. Just for reference of my taste...my favorite perfume is not an expensive niche, but is actually plain old Chloe New. The edt and edp. Those are a close runner up in my opinion to this one. If you like Chloe and Narcisco for Her, you will like this too. I cannot even emphasize enough how "happy" this perfume is and mood lifting.

After searching for a rose fragrance for quite some time, I was happy to stumble across Idylle Sublime. This is the best rose formulation I have smelled. It's an airy type scent that obtains depth from the rose, a playful sweetness from the litchi and peach, and a well-rounded base from the musk. What more is there to say? This is a seductive rose fragrance that lacks the synthetic smell. The essence of the deepest, darkest, red rose must have been used to make this. Throw in a little litchi and peach for a faint tropical sweetness. Next, the musk for a somewhat exotic closing; but only enough to be detectable as it rides the tail end of the softest white floral notes. Such a multi dimensional formula, and well blended. You literally have to search for all the notes, but at the same time, each and every one holds its own in the compilation. I just love this! Guerlain never disappoints, imo. Nice bottle. Fair longevity, maybe 6 hours. Moderate sillage. Great for casual use. Not overpowering when used correctly.

When I first sprayed Idylle Eau Sublime, I wasn't so sure and it took me a few days to come around to it... Now I absolutely love it and I am smothering myself with it every day. I am wondering if my love for it kicked in just as the hot weather began? I am not one for describing notes and layers (so bear with me), but I mostly get litchi, rose and jasmine from Sublime. A very fruity meets floral fragrance. If you are a sweet fragrance lover looking for something a little more sophisticated and expensive smelling that is light enough for summer, this may be the one. After a few hours I catch a definite smell of lily, particularly when the fragrance has caught the ends of my hair. A bit odd though, as lily is not included in the notes, maybe it is a different note that I am mistaking for it? The bottle is very lovely looking, and I love that the liquid is tinged with a rose colour. My only slight issue is that the top has a slightly cheap and lightweight feel, it's no big deal though, and is otherwise beautiful

Very bright, very musky. First sniff makes me think of many other fruity-florals, but I think this is better than most. After just a little while the quality comes through- People judge by how prestigious the house is- If this was Jimmie Choo or Calvin Klein it would be raves. Now since it ́s Guerlain it ́s considered an unnecessary flanker. I can see the point in saying this, but it doesn ́t take away from the perfume. It ́s sweet and rosy and musky, YET classy and dignified. It gets a bit dirty after4-5 hours- it ́s sexy and a bit strange since I cannot detect it at all in the beginning. That shows quality to me. Give it a chance and don ́t let its girlyness fool you- it ́s well-made and special enough. Did I mention that it ́s very musky?

i have no idea how gorgeous this is until i spray some on a cool winter day. I find it opens up much brighter in cool day. It is mainly litchi and rose for me. the result is a slightly sour rose scent (it reminds me of Rose Essentielle perfume (which has blackberry and rose notes). Both have wonderful longevity and sillage. Both are very lady-like. I am totally defenseless for green/fruity rose! I used to use Idylle Sublime for hot summer day (it felt right to have fruity floral scent for summer and heavy oriental for winter right?). But during summer day, i can feel it is subdued with suggestion of synthetic note. Not pleasant. A different story in winter. I LOVE this.
