Idole

by Olivia Giacobetti

Lubin Idole is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Olivia Giacobetti. Idole opens with Rum, Saffron, Bitter Orange, and Caraway, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Ebony, and Palm Leaf, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Leather. Lubin's Idole carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, steeped in boozy warmth and exotic spice. If you fancy yourself a modern-day pirate or a 70s playa, this discontinued gem is your cup of rum. Otherwise, it might be a bit much for everyday wear.

Its potent boozy and spicy character, along with its generally strong projection, makes it less suited for an office environment. However, this same profile is perfect for intimate dates and can elevate a formal evening, though some find it a bit too assertive for casual daytime wear. It's definitely not one for the gym.

About

Opens with a potent, boozy hit of rum and zesty bitter orange, underscored by a compelling blend of spices like saffron and caraway. As it settles, the scent deepens into a warm, woody embrace of ebony and sandalwood, with a subtle leather hum. A touch of sugarcane sweetness keeps it from tilting too far into austerity, creating a rich, intoxicating aura.
