The Scoop
Ekhtiari captures the bright, floral-forward character of L'Idole L'Intense with impressive accuracy in the top and heart notes. The clone delivers comparable jasmine prominence and sweet vanilla base, though with slightly less refined projection and a marginally shorter longevity profile than the original.
Key Differences
The clone uses cedarwood instead of sandalwood in the base, resulting in a slightly woodier dry-down with less creamy warmth. Ekhtiari also shows reduced sillage and longevity, lasting approximately 6-7 hours compared to the original's 8+ hour performance.

What wearers say
“Smells like an ice cold fruity floral sparkling drink. I get peaches and oranges for sure and then white flowers. The dry down has a warmth and woodiness as well. Really beautiful, pretty scent. Can’t wait to wear this in spring and summer. Lasting power is this one’s only downfall.”
“Update:After leaving it for a few weeks it changed but in a better way!Since I'm a citrus lover who feels the arghh from sweet juicy frangnances this one fits me perfectly, it gives me the coco mademoiselle vibes yet without the woodyness.I have club de nuit for her, they are pretty similar but this one is kindof more intense and strong.I'd rate it for the smell an 8/10As for the longevity it's 8/10Don't overspray ! This is strong juice and good long lasting.”
“This is such a pretty fragrance. I’ve been told I smell like an expensive candle. Something about it gives it an almost rosy quality on me, and I’mNot complaining. It’s almost like a glass of rose lemonade being dipped in a flower garden. It’s beautiful, fresh, summery, classy and mature without being “old lady”.”
