Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idylle Eau de Parfum
Idylle is Guerlain's crowd-pleasing floral, often compared to Narciso Rodriguez For Her, delivering a beautiful, clean bouquet. Despite some lamenting its 'mainstream' nature, it's a timeless, elegant choice for those who love a sophisticated floral musk.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fairy Dust Eau de Parfum
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably mature - Fairy Dust isn't what you expect from Paris Hilton, and that's precisely its charm. It's either an elegant, heady white floral or an "old lady" nightmare. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Idylle Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, inoffensive floral nature make it excellent for office and casual wear. While elegant enough for formal events, some reviews note a lack of strong projection, making it less ideal for occasions where a bold statement is desired.

Fairy Dust Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong white floral and musky character, coupled with good longevity and sillage, make it a bold choice for casual settings and dates, but potentially too intense for a restrained office environment. While many wear it casually, its 'grown-up' and 'classy' feel lends itself well to formal occasions.
