What Reddit owners say
5/5“Lancome Idole Nectar! I love everything else I have from the Idole line (the OG, aura, now). It was on sale for the 21DOB at Ulta so I ordered it then, but went through an entire ordeal where they lost my package, it was out of stock, it was going to be discontinued, etc. When it was back in stock, I got it finally.”
5/5“I got my Lancôme Idole on sale at Ulta for 50% off. Otherwise I bought from the grey market- they have some awesome deals on testers and classic non trendy perfumes. Hands down best deal vs quality and best blind buy ever is my all time favorite Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege.”
5/5“Lovely and refreshing. thoughts on the Lancome? I have been big into Idole but would love to try another.”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“Lancome Idole. Picking up my new personalized license plates (woo hoo) and working-it's still hot but I was sick of fruity/fresh scents, so Idole stood out to me to wear today. I used it sparingly however with the heat.”
5/5“awww I love Lancome, I own Poeme, Idole Aura, Idole Nectar, Miracle, LNT Midnight Rose, LVEB Rose extraordinaire, LNT Parfum... I dont have Tresor but I do remember her, when I was a kid she and JPG Classique were the Queens.”

5/5“I have tried it at Sephora. The peach is nice but the rose gets too powdery for my tastes. A peach with literally any other floral notes besides rose or lily would be lovely. I still think the best peach opening I've ever experienced was in Lancome Idole peach and roses, but the rose was so strong and powdery. I had tried some on my neck/chest and I swear my seatbelt smelled like powdery rose for weeks! (Signed someone who really does not like strong powder in scents).”
4/5“I would say montblanc signature!! But I really like how lancome idôle pairs with it too! I've gotten compliments when I use the dove shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask + idôle even though I wouldn't say they smell the same necessarily haha”
4/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“Nest Lychee Rose - a fruity floral, it dries down on me fairly fresh Lancôme Idole - my go-to out of the shower scent. A classic floral that dries down slightly sweet on me.”
2/5 Sweetness“Gave a lancome idole, Versace bright crystal, and coach sunset to my friend since they were his wife and daughters favorites. I never ever reached for them since I found them all to be too cloying on me and it's how I figured I like more feminine leaning unisex scents!”
4/5 Unique“I used to, but for a different reason aka I could not afford more than one perfume at the time. It was the basic Lancome Idole, which I still like and feel like it fits me and my personality very well, but now I have a about 12 bottles of different scents and I also use them to match my mood and outfit choices.”
5/5 Everyday“I kinda want to buy Chloé Signature Eau de Parfum because a YouTuber I follow loves it. I bought Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum because of her earlier recommendation and absolutely loved it. I also own YSL Libre Intense, but Idôle is more my type. Would Chloé suit me?”

Not rated (no clear sentiment) ComplimentsOffice“Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum - I get compliments on this from men & women all the time. Especially from those at the office. I got so many compliments from those at the office the first day I wore it & every day thereafter. The other one is Jimmy Choo's I Want Choo. I get more compliments from the men on this one. One guy at the store asked me what scent I was wearing & I told him & says it's fire!”
