In 2022 Lancome are continuing to release incredible new fragrances in ranges we know and love, and they are doing it with sustainability at the forefront. Lancome Idole Nectar Eau de Parfum is a rosey-vanilla scent laced with addictive gourmand facets, labelled as Lancomes first ‘neo-gourmand’; it smells good enough to eat!
I love the original Idole, but have to admit as a gourmand fragrance fan, Nectar takes top spot in the Idole franchise for me. It has popcorn and caramel alongside the rose and vanilla – could it be any more delicious? Read on to find out more…
This Fragrance Smells Like…
A mix of sweet fresh rose and sweet creamy gourmand notes, Idole Nectar opens with a rose souffle accord. A trio of jammy and fresh roses blended to be sweet and luxurious meet the gourmand heart, introducing popcorn and warm caramel. The popcorn is slightly salty amongst the yummy caramel, lightening the scent (so it’s a sickly sweet overdose). Plus, the innovative popcorn note gives the fragrance its neo-gourmand name. The sweet rich scent is then intensified by the base of vanilla, left to become rich and bold over 18 months before being add to the Nectar perfume.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
Inspired by the optimism of new generations, Nectar is a bold scent that isn’t for the faint hearted; only those determined for a better future can wear it. The sustainably sourced ingredients showcase Lancome’s movement towards eco-conscious designs, reflecting the fragrance inspiration of standing up to face a brighter future.
