Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Lyon lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Idôle.

Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Idôle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Idôle — the 4th cheapest of 9 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Noted Aromas publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: pear, bergamot and rose up top, rose and jasmine in the middle, white musk, vanilla and patchouli underneath — the shape of Lancôme Idôle.

Top

  • pear
  • bergamot
  • rose

Heart

  • rose
  • jasmine

Base

  • white musk
  • vanilla
  • patchouli
Fresh rose and jasmine over white musk, crisp and reliably office-friendly.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
