Guerlain will launch Idylle Eau Sublime, a new flanker to 2009's Idylle, in September. Idylle Eau Sublime follows the recent Idylle Duet.
Idylle Eau Sublime explores the fruity floral aspects of the original Idylle scent. It was developed by Guerlain house perfumer Thierry Wasser; notes include rose, lychee, peach, jasmine, woody amber, patchouli and musk.
Guerlain Idylle Eau Sublime will be available in 70 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via moodiereport, parfum-femme.prime-beaute)
These Idylle flankers are cropping up surprisingly fast. I still haven’t even gotten to try Idylle Duet or the edt interpretation, though I do love the original so would give this one a try if the oppportunity to do so ever arises. Did Duet even make it to the States? It seemed practically impossible to find even when it launched. 🙁
I did not see Duet here, but don’t know if perhaps it made it to the US Guerlain boutiques.
it explores the floral aspects of Idylle? Wasn’t Idylle already very floral? So this is even MORE floral….like a “Super-Floral” ….like super-virus or super-bacteria?
The FRUITY floral aspects. I think they called the original Idylle a floral chypre (which to me, it is just not) and then Duet amped up the patch & the rose, and this one I assume amps up the fruit & the rose. That’s how I’m reading it, anyway. I’ll probably never know 🙂
oooh ….yes, I see FRUITY floral……well….that makes it so much better….. *snort* ….now even LESS likely to seek-a-sniff.
The original Idylle is quite nice….just not something I want to wear. I never tried duet (borderline patch-o-phobe already , so amping the patch isn’t exactly a siren’s call) and now amping the frootiness is just going to make it even younger….and push it even further into “not me territory” .
Daisy – Guerlain doesn’t care if you don’t buy any of the Idyll’s – they’ve got you spending the big bucks on Secrets de Sophie! 😀
LOL!
I love “big” floral fragrances even though I don’t get to wear them to the office that much. I also have enjoyed most of the fragrances that Wasser has crafted in the past so I’ll have to stop by the Guerlain counter as soon as it arrives this fall.
Hard to imagine Idylle as a “big” floral! But perhaps it will be, who knows.
I hate to say it, but that bottle (as well as the bottle for the original and Duet) make me think of: 1) an upside down model of the uterus; 2) an upside down model of the bladder in a muscular sling; 3) a very stylized, simplified, and incomplete cross-sectional model of the abdomen. I had the same reaction to the CK Secret Obsession and Beauty bottles, as well as one other bottle out there I cannot recall…. Sometimes I hate my mind 😛
Um … yes. How very anatomical of you! Still, I recall when the original Idylle came out that people were saying that the bottle was impractical – hard to hold and use.
