Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli

by Thierry Wasser

Guerlain Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Thierry Wasser. Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli settles into a heart of Woody, Violet, Rose, and Patchouli. Guerlain's Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli carries an Acquired verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a misnomer - don't expect a dramatic rose-patchouli. It's a pleasant, soft floral that's been discontinued, leading to some wild secondary market prices for something generally seen as nice but unoriginal.

About

A refined floral experience, opening with a gentle whisper of violet that soon intertwines with a prominent, elegant rose. The warmth of subtle woody notes and a hint of earthy patchouli ground the composition, leading to a smooth, almost balsamic dry-down, far lighter than the name suggests, with a touch of mystical incense.
