The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Idôle Emily in Paris by Lancôme was launched in 2021 and is a composition crafted by perfumers Adriana Medina-Baez, Nadege Le Garlantezec, and Shyamala Maisondieu. This fragrance opens with the freshness of bergamot and pear before transitioning into the heart notes of Turkish rose and May rose, which are complemented by Indian jasmine for a floral bouquet that feels both classic and modern. The base is anchored by white musk and vanilla, creating a warm and inviting finish that reads as chic yet approachable.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for an all-day wear that evolves from fresh and bright to warm and inviting. The top notes fade within an hour, so a second application can help maintain its full character throughout the day.
