Is this fragrance significantly different from the original Idôle?+−
Yes. While it retains the signature rose heart, Nectar replaces the clean, jasmine-heavy freshness of the original with a "rose soufflée" accord and gourmand notes like popcorn and caramel, making it much sweeter and denser.
How does the popcorn note actually come across?+−
For most, the popcorn note adds a salty, toasted quality and a unique "crunchy" texture to the opening rather than a literal buttery snack smell. It works with the caramel to provide a modern, gourmand twist to the roses.
Is this suitable for the office or strictly for casual wear?+−
While it is categorized as a sweet floral, its versatility makes it suitable for daily use and business settings if applied moderately. Most users find it works best for leisure and daytime activities.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
Performance is generally rated as very good. Most wearers experience six or more hours of longevity, with the creamy Bourbon vanilla and rose lingering on the skin long after the initial spray.
