The review
On paper, Milena is a strong bet if you want Idôle L'Intense for less.
Volare sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Idôle L'Intense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $36 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Idôle L'Intense — the 2nd cheapest of 2 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 Volare 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
The original opens on rose and bergamot, turns to rose, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, musk and patchouli. That is the brief Milena is working from.
Top
- rose

Heart

- orange blossom
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- patchouli
Rose absolute over vanilla musk, the cosier evening face of Idôle.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Lancôme Idôle L'Intense we can price, Milena is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Fragrance World Ideal L'intense $24/100ml
- 02 Volare Milena $36/100ml
