Idylle is part of Guerlain’s Legendary fragrance collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavors to preserve. In this combination of the chypre sensuality and the intimate facet of white musks with a bouquet of flowers, the symbol of a declaration of love, Thierry Wasser expresses the sensuous and romantic idea of the idyll. Designed by Raymond Guerlain, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time. Idylle opens with a shower of flowers that combine in a fresh and joyful bouquet featuring lily of the valley accord, peony, freesia and white lilac. The heart of the fragrance reveals jasmine paired with a “communelle” of Bulgarian roses (a blend of different batches of essence. The base, a chypre accord worked around patchouli and white musks brings added sensuality. Fragrance notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Peony, Freesia and White Lily; middle notes are Jasmine and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are White Musk and Patchouli.
