The opening to Idole EDP had me a little underwhelmed a sweet, boozy kick with a hint of saffron, which don't get me wrong are some great notes but somehow felt like just an 'OK' scent from Lubin. How wrong was I? Leave it a few minutes to settle and then it really starts to shine which incense heart notes of labdanum, olibanum and intense woods. This is such an amped up masculine scent which manages to be butch and elegant at the same time. It is truly a unisex really, although I can't help but think it's lean more toward the masculine with all that boozy woody character. I'd describe Idole de Lubin as a boxer in ballet shoes heavy accords that seem to float on a gentle breeze. And still somehow it feels like something I recognize and identify with. This is an expertly blended perfume, the notes come to you in an initial separate waves but then seem to consolidate into a single entity...an entity that I can't help but keep sniffing. I only applied a small amount and it went on strong, had a good sillage trail and longevity. Wait for the magic to happen and this thing is off the charts good and yet another perfume I need a full bottle of. Superb!
