Idylle is the latest creation by Guerlain for mainstream distribution, introduced in September 2009. It has been created by Thierry Wasser and it is the first fragrance he created in his position as the succeeder of Jean-Paul Guerlain.
NOTE The Guerlain Idylle EDP Bottle is now redesigned into the original Guerlian classic bottle and now comes in soft pink boxes. The EDT bottle is not yet changed.
This is how Wasser describes this beautiful floral perfume:”It started with a rose. The rose was a blend of Bulgarian roses, the 2008 harvest being fruity, with overtones of raspberry and litchee. To this blend was added the Plessis Robinson rose, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain out of love for the past Ò an old rose with fruity accents and a pungent fragrance.
This, in turn, was mingled with a chypre harmony, emblematic of Guerlain, composed of patchouli and white musk, selected for its warmth. And lastly came the bouquet that complemented the roses to perfection: lily-of-the-valley, lilac, peony, freesia and jasmine.
