Idôle L'Intense

Idôle L'Intense is a chypre floral for women, created by Adriana Medina-Baez, Nadège Le Garlantezec and Shyamala Maisondieu for Lancôme in 2020 as a richer reading of Idôle. Bitter orange and mandarin open it briefly before the roses take over, Turkish and Grasse together, layered with three jasmines and musk so the heart is dense and faintly creamy. Patchouli, cedar and cashmere wood give it the chypre spine, and Madagascar vanilla and sandalwood warm the drydown. It lasts a long time and projects strongly, and it suits autumn, winter and spring, day or night.
