Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas is a soft, delicate floral fragrance that captures the essence of spring with its fresh and dewy opening. The lilac is the star note, treated with remarkable realism—neither synthetic nor watery—blending in harmony with jasmine and rose to create a refined and romantic bouquet. The green and musky base adds a subtle depth, resulting in a scent that feels both elegant and quietly sensual, like a Victorian-era lady gathering flowers on a gentle breeze. The fragrance has moderate sillage and longevity, performing best in spring and warm weather, and while it can project modestly, it tends to fade earlier than expectations. On some skin types, it may appear muted or even almost cologne-like, especially in the opening, though others experience a compelling, long-lasting floral presence with nuanced drydown.
