Idôle Power

This scent is pretty, feminine, powdery, and satin-y. My sister got a sample of it in the mail and both she and my mom aren't too big on it— they think it's pleasant but perhaps a bit too powdery for their own liking. Yesterday when the sample arrived I sprayed some on the back my hand, thinking it would be gone within two or so hours, but even after some hand washings the scent remained for over five or six hours. It has a really clean factor that is more 1950s vanity dresser than soap-and-water. There's something rich about this scent that isn't overly sweet or sugary. In fact, I have a hard time detecting any real sweet-tooth aspects at all. It's versatile in the sense that the powdery vibe could suit both mature or youthful scent lovers. The woody note is pretty mild and doesn't have any masculinity like other wood notes tend to have. I'm honestly having a hard time detecting the apple note, it's just not there for me at all, I'm actually getting more of a very faint raspberry if anything. It's not exactly my personal style but I can't deny that it's a pretty beautiful scent!

Lancôme Eau de Parfum Intense has become one of my absolute favorites. It opens with a juicy, fresh fruity scent, slightly tart and sparkling. The heart of the scent is where it really starts to shine, with Lancôme’s signature Damascena rose enhanced by richer, slightly spicy floral notes. The base settles into creamy sandalwood with a woody accord that gives it a soft, sensual finish without losing its playful, feminine sparkle. Idôle Power Intense is everything I want in a modern floral scent: clean, invigorating and just deep enough and intense. But feminine at the same time - a subtle scent that lasts all day without being too strong and overpowering in the room. I’ve received many compliments and requests “What’s the scent?” If you liked the original Idôle but wanted a little more warmth and depth, this one is for you. Fans of Delina La Rose will probably like it too. Those who liken it to Guidance Amouage – definitely NOT. Guidance is one of my other favorites, but the only similarity is the creamy woody accord. 🌹

I have a small sample of it, tried it and it's a big love at first sniff. I only own Idole Now which I like a lot as well and I can only compare it to that. I like this one much more, the rose here is dialed down, it's more woody and warm. It starts with mildly spiced green apples although spices are not listed, the rose is somewhere in the background, discreet, then it gradually becomes this very creamy, warm and luscious scent (that's the sandalwood), it retains the mild spiciness which is so nice. It reminds me of Versace Crystal Noir. If you like Versace Crystal Noir, you will like this one. It's extremely well blended, warm and addictive scent for me. I am wearing it now, it's frosty outside and it's absolutely shining. Definitely on my list for a big bottle purchase.

I absolutely love wearing this fragrance right after a shower, and sadly I've already finished my tiny little bottle. I really hope to add it to my collection when the colder months arrive. It has such a beautiful rose note that it makes me feel incredibly clean and comfortable. The feeling it gives me is almost dreamlike like falling asleep with rabbits inside the hollow of a tree. Some rose fragrances remind me of traditional Turkish rose water, but this one definitely doesn't. Instead, it feels like freshly washed bed sheets, clean pajamas, and soft slippers after a long day. It's also a very safe choice if you're looking for a gift for someone you truly care about. Elegant, comforting, and easy to love. So excited to try Idole Aura also 🪷

I love this perfume! I smelt it today and I have to say I was really surprised how much I liked this scent especially regarding the reviews here. This smells nothing like apple to me (luckily). It smells almost peppery to me. A very winter scent. It's very nice. I'm surprised people were saying it has that alcohol body mist type smell, I disagree. A lovely scent. Woodsy, almost like incense. Long lasting with the perfect amount of sillage, which I find with most Lancome perfumes. I wore "La Vie set Belle" all throughout college and all of my friends lovingly recall that when they would hug me that it was so nice. Hopefully when I invest in this perfume people pay me the same compliment. A must buy for Winter.
