Lancome Idole 75ml Eau De Parfum RRP £85
This perfume came out in late August of 2019, I was received it as a gift a few days ago. I knew this was going to be a favourite as soon as I smelled it for the first time, it was love at first sniff! I have always adored Lancome perfumes (my first love being La Vie Est Belle - one of the few perfumes I loved from the first time I tried it) and I am so happy to own this one too!

The bottle itself is beautiful in my opinion (I think its supposed to be one of the thinnest bottle designs!)  It looks super sleek and it is supposed to lay flat as the bottle does not stand up properly.

The official description of this perfume is:

"Here’s to the women who dare to dream. The women who defy expectations. Here’s to the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Strong. Outspoken. Empowered. The women who look to themselves for the inspiration they need to shape the future. Here’s to a new generation of icons. 
Your time is now. 

Be your own Idôle."

Notes include Rose, Jasmin and Chypre Accord.

It smells floral but not too overpowering ( I dislike strong floral scents normally), I love the rosey jasmine scent. its very fresh but feminine at the same time.

This would make a great gift for anyone, the smell is not too strong so I doubt many people would find it offensive. I think it would make a fantastic work/office fragrance but can also work as an evening fragrance,  its definitely suitable for all ages but especially people over 20.

The very first time (and so far the only time) I wore it out I received compliments on it. The sillage of this perfume is at least medium to good and the lasting power is great (6+ hours) especially when considering perfumes don't really last too well on my skin.

I would give this fragrance a solid 5/5 for the wonderful scent, bottle design and lasting power. The only con I can think of is the price, its not the most affordable perfume however it is reasonably priced for the brand and in comparison to other similar level brand perfumes.
