Idylle Love Blossom

To me this is like the original gucci guilty (haven’t smelled the current version) minus the pink pepper mixed with gucci rush but with honey instead of peach (still creates the same vibe as the peach does in rush). I really really like it! Might even love it! I’m a collector so I bought this primarily for collection purposes but it’s actually a really wonderful office/work scent-safe but professional, sophisticated, and elegant without being too formal; and it’s not boring! It’s actually quite an interesting scent for a safe soft floral, pretty complex actually, but no surprise there-it is a Guerlain after all, and a vintage one at that. It’s from what was once a VERY underrated era for Guerlain, but now people are finally starting to realize just how beautiful the softer Guerlain perfumes of the 90s & 2000s were. I’ll might even get a backup bottle of this at some point, but I have the other Idylles to collect and try first. Edit: surprised to see there’s no patchouli listed in the notes. I DEFINITELY get something like patchouli, hence the Rush comparison. Must be the green notes I guess, or maybe it’s unlisted. This is a lilac perfume yes, but it’s not a lilac soliflore. The other notes give it a lot of depth. If you’re looking for a really pure soliflore type lilac this probably won’t be it for you, but if you want a more interesting lilac that is still very much lilac, this is it. Gucci guilty lovers will adore this, though for some they might be too similar to warrant having both (those who prefer to keep smaller perfume collections, or are on a budget/prefer to save money). Collectors-you seriously can’t go wrong. PS. Get it with the box if possible (if collecting), the box is super pretty!

This was such a risky blind buy for me. I was eyeing this for a while because the notes sound so pretty and I love lilac, but had doubts because Idylle EDP looks like something I really wouldn't like. Lily of the valley and I don't get along, and anything similar to Narciso Rodriguez For Her usually turns too dirty on my skin. I hesitantly tried Idylle on a blotter, and surprisingly I liked it. Only Guerlain can do such magic! So I finally got me a bottle of Love Blossom on Ebay. Wow, this is really beautiful! What a soft and pretty honeyed lilac note, what a light and dewy rose. I'm not going to lie, there is some of that NR musky vibe in this, but it's softened by the florals and feels very polished and chic, so even I can wear it. The musk adds some sensuality to this otherwise demure floral, which is so good. A perfect balance of pure and just a little sultry. I agree with the voting that this is super fitting for spring, but the base adds enough depth to wear it in fall, too. It might not be the best choice for hot summer days, but this is also a matter of how your skin deals with musky fragrances. I'm happy I took the plunge and am excited to wear it often when summer is over. I will also explore the other Idylles more.

This was a blind buy for me based on all the positive reviews. I do like the original Idylle EDP. This bears only a slight resemblance in that the main rose-LOTV bouquet that Idylle is built around is buried in here. Otherwise, I smell a predominant powdery,honey-sweetened lilac and what smells like heliotrope since I smell a vague play-dough note hovering, especially in the first 20 minutes. It's all very soft and feminine. Projection is quite low and I can smell it 7 hours later, but only with my nose pressed to my wrist. It's pretty and inoffensive, innocent and calls to mind an impressionist painting in muted pastels. More sentimental than romantic. But it doesn't really wow me. But, for the minimal expense, it's nicely done, not harsh or too chemically as some of today's mainstreams can be. I'll probably end up using it as a bedtime scent. UPDATE: This has gone from like to love and I could easily wear this for several days in a row, but I have so much gosh darned perfume, that would seem irresponsible

03. November 2015 OMG!!! I'm in looove with this "love blossom"!!!! I somehow missed this edition but last week while being at the airport i've seen it and tested it. So i do not like the original "Idylle" that much, however i do love the "duet jasmine-lilas" edition, and i must say "love blossom" is a softer and more shy sister of "jasmine-lilas". I get a picture in my head of an extremely hot day in a lilac blooming garden. This is an impressive combo of a very concentrated lilac and jasmine and musk. I get a sense of a dusty hot lilac smell on my skin, im so in love and can't stop sniffing my wrist. I do not have to actually, since the sillage is more than enough! Opens up with a blast of lilac, rose abd jasmine, then i smell a syropy rose and a trace of liquid honey. I do smell a strong musk and lilac combo in the drydown as well. The whole combination is simply amazing, right up to my alley. Now if only i get a chance to get it next time, ill be more than lucky!!!!

OMG ...this is the most beautiful, pretty, elegant, classy, feminine fragrance ever...So many gorgeous flowers... The lilac in this perfume is so delicate and creamy. I can't understand why Guerlain would discontinue this perfume as it has more positive reviews than any of their other fragrances. I would love for this fragrance to be re-introduced. Online prices for this are crazy... £140 for 50ml. I am too afraid to use mine in case it runs out and I couldn't afford another bottle.

Lilac is heavy upon first spray. It quickly starts to mingle with the honey and become slightly sweet; beautiful. As it settles into skin, it morphs into a musky lilac with just a tinge of honey. A very easy to wear but lovely sweet lilac musk. It evokes a garden on a rainy day. It’s just lovely. People will compliment you with this. This is perfect for humid weather in the spring summer and fall. I enjoy this

I've been married for over 20 years, but if I were to do it over again, this would be my wedding day scent. It's so soft and classy. The lilac is easy, like you're walking by a bush and not like you have your face buried in it. Sillage and longevity are decent (5-6 hours). It's just pretty, and I like the way it makes me feel when I wear it.

Idylle Love Blossom is spring in a bottle, my favorite spring fragrance, for me the best from the Idylle line. Cheerful, warm and realistic lilac dominated scent with well blended rose and honey. The green note helps to stay fresh. Much lesser overwhelming than the mother scent, easy to wear. This is a very romantic scent.

I adore Idylle Love Blossom. There's no denying the Idylle DNA here, but the rose and lilac are more prominent than in the original. Love Blossom is lighter, fresher and easier to wear than the original, so this has become my warm weather version of Idylle. I'm so happy that I was able to add this to my Idylle collection.

a very pretty light floral for spring with the typical Guerlainade base; there must be vanilla in here, it's a note you can smell, but this is dominated by very green lilac, rose and jasmine; not sweet but aldehydic, crisp and a tad musky

A very realistic honey. Honey of the flowers in a field. Soft, warm, skin scent. Has not so much common with the original Idyll or with other flankers, maybe with the Duett. But the quality and refinement are the same.

This is a piece of art. I love this Idylle edition. It is so soft, subtle, warm, delicate, but yet detectable. The lilac with the honey play an amazing role in this fragrance. My absolute favorite discovery last year.

I'm so happy I gave this one a second chance! I initially liked it but found there was something annoying in the dry down, which I can no longer pick up thank God! Beautiful realistic lilacs <3

Beautiful. I pick up more rose than lilac. Very soft comforting perfume. Perfect. I love it.

At the risk of sounding ridiculous, this perfume smells like a perfect, imaginary mother, which is the highest compliment I could pay. I feel like I’m five years old and my mother is this young, beautiful, soft, nurturing, loving woman I can look up to as someone to emulate. She radiates golden, feminine warmth and wearing it makes me feel the same way as a woman. Sorry if that’s too much. I came across this fragrance when I was looking for a lilac perfume that wasn’t overpoweringly lilac but still discernibly lilac. I love lilac, but it can be too sharp to my nose at times. The rose and honey really mellow it out once the sweetness of the honey settles into the background. It is very sweet at the opening, so unless you love honey be prepared. I can’t say I smell the original Idylle in it, that one is very green to me. This is the opposite. I want to say powdery, but it’s really not powdery at all. It’s the honey so well blended with the florals. I’m disappointed it was limited edition. I’ll have to get a couple of bottles as backups I like it that much.

I enjoy floral perfumes others find overpowering so it's no surprise that I'm regretting this blind buy and wishing I had trusted my gut to get the original. Love Blossom would be a big win if I could smell it on myself after a good spray. A reviewer commented below that she needed to respray after three hours but in my experience this perfume will only stay on me for 30 minutes- and that's a stretch goal. Fact: I sprayed this once on *clothing* and the scent was mostly gone on my shirt the next day. My perfumes tend to last indefinitely on clothing until washed. Really lovely scent though, just wish it lasted on me.

Opens with a blast of lilacs and fresh jasmine, maturely sweet, not candy sweet, followed by a very soft musky lilac-ey.., woody notes. The soft base notes is very addictive, feminine, very soft and never offensive. This one is good for all ages. Stay for around 3 hrs or a bit more on my skin, but its okay, I love to respray cause it's very refreshing. Beautiful perfume, bottle is nice, wonderful for winter. I wish I could explain more about this perfume to you, but English isn't my first language. Enjoy your fragrance quest!

Lucky to have bought their last bottle of this at duty free on a recent trip. This is the version of Idylle that I can actually wear all day or evening long, without it becoming overwhelming. It is younger, fresher, but still Idylle and still absolutely glamorous.

Happy my husband brought me home Love Blossom from a trip to Israel. It was on my wish list. And, I now own an Idylle! Opens with lilac, very strong, and beautiful. I don't detect honey; I wish I did. Just pure floral.

Now this is a lovely floral, I don't care much for the original but this one is a softer, more wearable version, the lilac is lovely combined with jasmine and woody notes, very pretty daytime scent for me.
