Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Also Works:
Formal

Its gentle sillage and fresh, clean floral profile make it highly suitable for casual wear and daily office use without being overpowering. The romantic and elegant accords also lend themselves well to date nights, though its subdued nature might be less impactful for formal events. It's definitely not for sport due to its delicate floral character.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas opens with a dewy, green burst of fresh lilac, evoking a spring garden after a light rain. This vibrant greenness quickly softens into a heart of delicate, indolic jasmine and soft rose, a beautifully blended floral bouquet that avoids overt sweetness. The dry down is a comforting, clean musk intertwined with subtle woody notes, giving it a sophisticated and almost powdery finish.
