Lubin Idole is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Olivia Giacobetti. Idole opens with Caraway, Bitter Orange, Saffron, and Rum, settles into a heart of Ebony, Palm Leaf, Sugar Cane, and Woody Notes, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Sandalwood, and Labdanum. Lubin's Idole carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Lubin's Idole EDP is a divisive one. Many find it a rich, boozy, sophisticated amber-wood symphony, but a good proportion are left underwhelmed by its projection and longevity. A 'love it or leave it' kinda scent, with a price tag to match its luxurious bottle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with a potent, delectable shot of rum, spiced with carraway and saffron, brightened by bitter orange. The heart introduces a smoky, woody depth with ebony, incense, and a hint of sweet cane sugar. It settles into a warm, sensual base of leather, amber, and sandalwood, lingering with an intriguing complexity.
