âI was looking around the mall for some perfume and i saw a dupe for it (ideal by rrpf) and it smelled SOOOOO freaking amazing, and i asked the sales lady "can i smell the original" and i was so amazed by the smell, it smells like a burst of flower with a hint of vanilla. I knew i had to buy the dupe because I couldn't afford it (âą9k) but the dupe also smells exactly like it. I'm amazed!!.â
âI am an ultimate rose fragrance lover and this is definitely one of my absolute favourites . It is a fresh & clean rose scents . It is perfect for hot weather .Longevity is decent lasting for about 6-8 hours if generously sprayed especially on clothes not just skin . Projection and sillage is moderate to high depending on how much youâve sprayed .â
âNo longer a love. It is not appropriate for summer, too sad and moody.And I do not feel it after an hour or 4. Means it was hard to perceive it.While it lasted:A moody, clean rose.Perfect for the office in character.I love it in the spring. Then it lasts half a day on me.â

Sillage
Idyll has slightly less projection and longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours for Idole), and the sandalwood-musk base is more subtle. The peony and almond notes remain well-balanced but lack the depth and staying power of LancĂ´me's formulation.

Sillage
The Zara clone misses some of the almond's presence in the heart notes, resulting in a less creamy mid-development. Longevity and sillage are also noticeably lighter compared to the original Lancome formulation.
