The story behind the bottle.
Love in Idleness by Atkinsons, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of a delicate floral bouquet. The powdery and violet notes create an air of refinement, while the fruity and sweet accords add a touch of whimsy. Earthy undertones ground this composition, balancing its lightness with subtle depth.
Apply this fragrance lightly to your pulse points. The powdery and fruity notes will be most noticeable in the first hour before settling into a more subtle floral base that lasts throughout the day.
