    This is complex and well-made, as with all Acca Kappa fragrances. A blind buy, and while I was initially excited at the smell, on further inspection I felt disappointed. I suppose this is because the patchouli and amber dominate, and it reminds me of a perfume I already have: Prada Amber, where patchouli and amber dominate.
    I know it is probably just me, but a good quality, highly refined patchouli smells like dark chocolate. I cannot get this out of my head. So instead of smelling idyllic sandalwood, I am smelling chocolate! As I do in Prada Amber.
    Ah, but it’s not that simple… Once I search deeper there are tons of notes present. Sandalwood and cedar are actually pretty strong. Vanilla’s there. And the musk and leather are noticeable. The rose and sage are faint whispers, and I can’t smell them when I try – they seem to catch me unawares. I’d describe the rose as light pink – not deep red and romantic, but transparent and feminine. The sage makes it a bit savory, herbal.
    The sandalwood is dry. Not wet and lush as in Serge Lutens’ “Santal Majuscule,” and not soft and permeating as in Diptyque’s “Tam Dao.” It is dry and dusty, like sawdust. The weird thing though, is there’s something sweet and feminine about it. Must be the rose.
    I find the overall scent very bottom-heavy. Sure, it is an oriental, but I expected more rose and sage. Nevertheless, it is attractive and wearable. I think it sweeps more ground than both Prada Amber (patchouli amber combo) and Santal Majuscule (sandalwood rose combo). I think I will grow to love this scent.

    Top:
    Sage – Rose – Camomile – Akomax TM
    Heart:
    Patchouli – Cedar Wood – Sandalwood – Amber Wood – Everlasting
    Base:
    Vanilla – Amber – Musk – Tonka Bean – Leather
    This may sound a bit bizarre but despite the listed notes and the allusions to Italian luxury, Idillio transports me back to a temple in Japan that I used to visit from time to time and, more specifically, the fragrance of centuries of wooden pillars permeated with prayerful incense – a blend of their incense I always picked up on the way home. As unexpected as this sounds I can”t deny it, although a few of the notes are indeed used in Japanese incense making. For that connection alone I do love this. The Vanilla/Amber/Tonka is a bit more sweet producing than something I like to wear myself but this is certainly enveloping, warmly elegant, and… Romantic.
    It’s a rendezvous on a rainy day in a forest temple to me.
    Like all Acca Kappa offerings the sillage is intimate & longevity is average.
    Lovely packaging & bottle.
    ★★★☆☆
