This is one perfume I’ve been on the fence about because whilst people kept saying it was duping Idole by Lancome, a few testers out there said it wasn’t doing that. I finally decided to get it and see for myself, and I actually love it.
Glossy opens sweet, fizzy, airy, juicy and somewhat fruity with floral notes and a distant touch of amber.
The fizziness is on par with what you’d get from perfumes like Mithqal by Ard Al Zaafaran and the airiness reminds me of the BR540 DNA but I’m not saying that it smells like BR540.
Its opening smells like a fusion of pear, oranges and vanilla. The florals in here smell like a rose and jasmine combo with jasmine being the predominant floral.
After like 30mins, it starts to get a bit peachy or maybe it’s apricot….I really can’t say.
2-3hrs later I begin to get a bit of musk, woods, bubblegummy jasmine and amber. It stays this way till it fizzles out on my skin.
If you love sweet, fizzy, juicy, white florals, you will like this.
If you like the Idole Le Parfum DNA, you’d most probably like this but it’s in no way a dupe of Lancome’s Idole Le Parfum which I have a sample and dupe for.
Lancome’s Idole Le Parfum comes off like a sweet, juicy, fruity, soapy rose whilst Maison Alhambra’s Glossy is a fizzy, airy, bubblegummy jasmine with a fleeting touch of rose.
If you’re looking for a stunning dupe of Idole Le Parfum, please get Fragrance World’s Ideal de Parfum.
I also got the dupe for Lancome’s Idole L’Intense and it doesn’t smell like Glossy either.
Do please note that Lancome’s Idole has like 9 flankers so maybe Glossy is a spot-on dupe of one of those flankers.
This perfume lasts over 12hrs on my skin with good enough projection. I ❤️❤️ it!
