MY VIEWS:

This perfume is soo sensuous and intriguing at first smell I was put off then it dried down to this amazing scent of lovely musk and flowers VERY creamy not gourmand or sweet just very sexy and sensual. like a well dressed executive refined from top to bottom. Guerlain has done it again...

(The latest version of Idylle the edition that "tells the story of rose and water ". Thierry Wasser also signs this composition. This time, the perfumer the essence of roses and rose water. In addition to these refined elements that have been signature to Guerlain since 1930, there are also accords of lychee, jasmine, peach, patchouli, musk and chypre elements)

waft's on the skin ever so gentle but demanding attention this a real signature perfume of Guerlain. I'd repurchased my perfume & definitely recommend it to other perfume lovers too !

CREATOR & CREATION :

Idylle is the latest creation by Guerlain for mainstream distribution, introduced in September 2009. It has been created by Thierry Wasser and it is the first fragrance he created in his position as the succeeder of Jean-Paul Guerlain. This is how Wasser describes this beautiful floral perfume:

"It started with a rose. The rose was a blend of Bulgarian roses, the 2008 harvest being fruity, with overtones of raspberry and litchee. To this blend was added the Plessis Robinson rose, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain out of love for the past – an old rose with fruity accents and a pungent fragrance. This, in turn, was mingled with a chypre harmony, emblematic of Guerlain, composed of patchouli and white musk, selected for its warmth. And lastly came the bouquet that complemented the roses to perfection: lily-of-the-valley, lilac, peony, freesia and jasmine. And so the fragrance was born: a shower of flowers, of petals, of subtle yet incisive freshness, balanced by sensuality. A nectar of flowers, an ode to life and love, in the warm light of radiant jasmine and the darker warmth of chypre, to express an ambiguity of feeling, and musk, like the scent of cashmere on the skin, a comfortable, intimate, physical sensation. In this combination of the personal, sensual, emotional facet of chypre, and the physical aspect of musk, and the declaration of love with the bouquet of flowers, the inexpressible idea was expressed, tender and ethereal, sensuous and romantic, fleeting and eternal.
