Reminds me a lot of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’s Rhubarb tea liquor. Does not smell cheap.
Invigorating, transparent, and natural. Very short lived, but so good that it’s probably worth carrying around a travel spray.

Grapefruit lead. Off the top, this is an aromatic citrus with some sweetness to it. The tea then comes in strongly. Herbal grapefruit tea. The rhubarb may lend a little sweetness but I wouldn’t call this a rhubarb scent. The grapefruit and tea dominate. I can’t understand where people are not noting the citrus higher.

The scent is perfection. The performance is not. It becomes a skin scent almost instantly. If Ineke can find a way to make this fragrance project and increase its sillage, I would buy 40 backup bottles. I did buy a fb even after trying a sample though.

I got my sample from Tigerlily
I found this very reminiscent of CDG Wonderwood, but done with a lighter more joyful hand. There are rays of sunlight streaming into this woodland, it’s not all dark and moody, and the oud is subtle but adds a necessary sophistication. Sillage is on the low side, it wears fairly close, and it’s not very potent (Wonderwood on the other hand lasts and lasts). I wish the complex and very interesting opening lingered, but on me Idyllwild quickly settles into a pleasant, close to the skin, but not very ground-breaking fragrance. Which is just what’s needed sometimes…

A strong, realistic rhubarb leads off, then soon tempered with fir and cyprus, then sage–but thankfully only a touch. A powerhouse of a scent, masculine leaning, clean and intensely green. I am enthralled.

This is a lovely, light, fizzy summer fragrance. I don’t think this would wear well in winter as it sits close to the skin. It reminds me of some of Guerlain’s Allegorias but it doesn’t have a floral note–so think a citrus top in those without the base. Cypress, fir and Sequoia are definitely the strongest notes to my nose, but the rhubarb presents a tart-sweetness (hence that citrus quality). It also unfortunately reminds me of D&G Light Blue. So, if you love that scent–either keep going or try this one out for a change.
While I love the idea, and the scent itself is reminiscent of walking on the California coast (and I think more northern than southern California), I do not like the lack of silage or the longevity. Both are low and poor, which I find almost inexcusable in anything other than a cologne, and this is very “cologne-like.” However there is something “different” about it–so it’s not a “mere dupe” for D&C Light Blue, but it’s in that genre. Longevity and silage can be made up for with HEAVY application. And then it’s really nice, really a sort of “different cedar-citrus” type of offering with the subtle nuances of the above notes.
Having grown rhubarb, I can’t say it smells like this when crushed fresh, so I’m going with a mix of olfactory/taste impressions mixed with a bit of green. For those afraid of ISO E–I don’t think this has it. It presents very naturally, which is perhaps why it has poor performance. I’m not rushing out to get more, but next summer, I think this will be a “go-to.” As an aside, we perfumistas often notice beautiful bottles.
I have to say of all the perfume releases this year–the name makes my heart flutter: Idyllwild.
I think I’m going to name my next cat that.

This is a new perfume making a launch by the end of September 2017…I was sent a sample in the mail as I have ordered from Ineke before…and I love this, have already pre-purchased a full bottle…most pine/forest perfumes tend to be loud and dare I say a little harsh, but this isn’t…the pine comes on strong for the first second then tranforms down to a lovely tea/light herb calm…very different from just about anything I’ve smelled before…worth trying – as others have mentioned the new sample set from Ineke includes this…I also love Field Notes From Paris from Ineke and that is included too…

Like laying down in a meadow and watching the canvas of cloud shapes pass by. The more I focused, the more nuances were detectable. This smells of the wild air in a clearing in the deep woods. Wildflowers have been trampled by foraging animals, and the smell of strange plants crushed by their passage haunts the area. A hint of lightning hitting a distant conifer from a day old storm lingers over the green verdant glade. A bit of citrus (probably the rhubarb combining with other notes) brought in by a sweet breeze completes this slice of nature, a macrocosm of outdoor wonder!

Aray, I read that she is only sending samples to preferred customers but the sample set has been updated so you can try it, plus the others for $25.

Confused as to how this was launched in 2015. I met Ineke last night, and she told me this is a future release.

Where on Earth can I get a sample of this?!
