We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. We never sell dupes, clones or inspired-by perfumes.

Quick answer
Of five clones, the best Lancôme Idôle dupe overall is Chérie de Fleurs by Câline: 92 of 104 Parfumo users find it similar, the biggest vote base. Pride is the closest on the dry-down (12 of 12, a small sample), and I Am Ideal by La Rive costs least per ml of the priced picks. Want the real thing? Idôle is €18.09 for a 10ml decant at 10ML.
You can try the original, Idôle, at 10ML as a 10 ml decant from €18.09, before you choose a dupe.
What does Idôle smell like?
Idôle is a women's perfume by Lancôme, launched in 2019. It opens on pear, bergamot and pink pepper. Rose and jasmine make the heart. The base is white musk, vanilla, patchouli and cedar. That is a clear target for a clone: a fruity, peppery opening, a two-flower heart and a soft musky base. Parfumo's comparison pages, quoted below, measure each clone against Idôle.
Idôle Nectar, Now and Power
10ML stocks three more Idôle perfumes, and all three are Lancôme's own versions, so none of them sits in the clone ranking. Idôle Nectar, from 2022, lists Grasse rose, Turkish rose, caramel, popcorn and vanilla. Idôle Now, from 2023, lists rose, orchid and vanilla. Idôle Power, from 2024, lists apple, May rose and sandalwood. If a clone below sounds close to the original but you want something sweeter or woodier, one of these may fit better. For the whole Lancôme range as decants, see our Lancôme decants guide.
Wear the original first
Start with the perfume the clones are chasing. Idôle comes as a 3ml decant at €7.02 (€2.34/ml), good for about 60 sprays, and as a 10ml decant at €18.09 (€1.81/ml), good for about 200. Either size lets you wear it across several days and decide what a clone must keep: the pear, the pepper or the musky base.

- Named source
Chérie de Fleurs by Câline leads on the size of its vote base, the biggest of the five. It shares bergamot, jasmine, rose, vanilla and patchouli with the original, and its musk is listed as white musk, as the original's is.
The main difference is what it leaves out. Parfumo lists blossoms as a note beside the pear, and the list has no pink pepper and no cedar. On paper its list is shorter than the original's, with no pepper and no cedar.
It suits you if you want the biggest crowd behind a clone and the simplest note list. Choose it when you like the original's pear, rose and jasmine but could do without the pepper.
Our basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 92 of 104 users finding the original and Chérie de Fleurs similar. Parfumo dates Chérie de Fleurs to 2022.

Lowest price: I Am Ideal
- Bottle price
- €7.49 · 90 ml
- Basis of comparison
- Named source
The table puts I Am Ideal by La Rive lowest for price per ml among the priced picks. Its list agrees with the original's on every note: pear, bergamot and pink pepper, then rose and jasmine, then white musk, cedarwood, patchouli and vanilla.
The main difference does not show up in the lists, because they agree. That is a limit of note lists, not proof of anything: they say which notes are present and nothing about how much of each. This is the pick where wearing the original first matters most, since only skin can show the gap.
It suits you if you want a clone whose list matches the original's on paper and the lowest price per ml. Choose it when you are happy to test two bottles of similar notes.
Our basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 55 of 61 users finding the original and I Am Ideal similar. Parfumo dates I Am Ideal to 2023.

Closest on the dry-down: Pride

- No EU price
- Basis of comparison
- Named source
Pride by Maison Alhambra lists the same notes as Idôle: bergamot, pear and pink pepper on top, jasmine and rose in the heart, and cedar, patchouli, vanilla and white musk at the base. Its vote line is 12 of 12 users.
The main difference is the evidence, not the notes. The sample is small, so a full share carries less weight than a smaller share of a bigger crowd, and Parfumo shows no release year for it. The table carries no price for Pride because we could not read one live.
It suits you if the base is what you care about and you want a clone whose listed base matches the original's exactly. Choose it after you have worn the original and found the base is the part you love.
Our basis is the source vote: Parfumo's comparison page shows 12 of 12 users finding the original and Pride similar. The sample is small.

Fresher take: Layaan
- Bottle price
- €20.45 · 100 ml
- Basis of comparison
- Named source
Layaan by Lattafa shares pear, jasmine, cedarwood and musk with the original, though Parfumo lists its pear as green pear.
The main difference is the long gap in the lists. It lists mandarin orange on top, gardenia and lily of the valley beside the jasmine, and it has no bergamot, pink pepper, rose, vanilla or patchouli. The label rests on those lists only: citrus and white flowers in place of rose and vanilla.
It suits you if you want a perfume that keeps the original's pear and jasmine and changes the rest on paper. Choose it when mandarin and lily of the valley sound better than rose and vanilla.
This is the weakest vote line of the five. Parfumo's comparison page shows 5 of 11 users finding the original and Layaan similar, under half of a small sample. Parfumo dates Layaan to 2025. Treat it as a different perfume that overlaps with the original, not as a close match.

Sweeter take: Seduction pour Femme
- Bottle price
- €26.00 · 100 ml
- Basis of comparison
- Inferred from published notes
Seduction pour Femme (Eau de Parfum) by Armaf shares bergamot, pear, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli and vanilla with the original.
The main difference is in the base and the edges. Parfumo's note list for Seduction pour Femme adds lemon and tuberose on top, orange blossom in the heart, and amber and tonka bean at the base. Going by the lists, it has no pink pepper and no cedar.
It suits you if you want the original's pear, rose and jasmine over a different base. Choose it when tonka bean and amber sound better than cedar. The label rests on those listed notes alone.
This pick has no vote line: Parfumo shows no user vote count for it against the original, so the evidence is the note listing only.

What every clone gets wrong
None of the five is a proven match. Chérie de Fleurs drops the pepper and cedar, Layaan trades rose for gardenia and lily of the valley, and Seduction pour Femme brings in amber and tonka bean. Pride and I Am Ideal agree with the list, but only as a list.
Parfumo's numbers count members who clicked "similar". They say nothing about how the pear meets the pepper on your skin, or what the base does late in the day. Every gap listed above is a question that only a few wears can answer.
Clone bottle or a decant of Idôle?
Buy a clone bottle only once you know the idea works for you; a decant of the original is for the stage before that. If the original is new to you, wear the decant first and buy a bottle afterwards.
The table lists clone bottles of 60ml, 90ml and 100ml, so compare per ml: the 10ml Idôle decant works out at €1.81/ml, and every priced clone sits far below that. As whole bottles, Chérie de Fleurs and I Am Ideal cost less than the 10ml decant, while Layaan and Seduction pour Femme cost more. A decant is therefore the dearer way to own Idôle per ml, and a low-risk way to learn whether you want Idôle, or a clone of it, at all.
For wider price-per-ml context, open the perfume price per ml index. If you are weighing formats, read decant vs full bottle, and the basics sit in what a perfume decant is.
Similar originals 10ML sells
Three more originals on our shelves overlap with Idôle. None of them is part of the clone ranking above.
- La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme, from 2012, lists black currant and pear on top, iris, jasmine and orange blossom in the heart, and vanilla, praline, patchouli and tonka bean at the base. It shares pear, jasmine, vanilla and patchouli with the original. Our La Vie Est Belle dupes guide covers that perfume's own clones.
- Irresistible Givenchy by Givenchy, from 2020, lists pear and ambrette on top, rose and iris in the heart, and musk and Virginia cedar at the base. It shares pear and rose with the original.
- Delina La Rosée by Parfums de Marly, from 2021, lists litchi, pear, bergamot and pink pepper on top, and Turkish rose and peony in the heart. Parfumo's comparison page shows 10 of 37 users finding the original and Delina La Rosée similar, a small share, so read it as a loose overlap in the top notes.
If rose is what draws you, the rose perfumes guide lists more. For the white-flower side, the white musk perfumes guide is a good next stop.
How to test a dupe
Use skin, not paper. Paper keeps the first pear and pink pepper; skin shows how the rose and jasmine develop as it warms.
Spray Idôle on one patch of skin and, on another day, a clone on the same patch, with matching spray counts. Let the base settle before you judge either. Take the pear and pepper first, then the rose and jasmine, then the musk and vanilla.
Write down what you notice. Is Chérie de Fleurs thinner without the pepper? Does Layaan's green pear drift away from the rose? Does the amber in Seduction pour Femme crowd the vanilla?
Keep your Idôle decant as the reference and repeat over a few days before deciding whether any clone bottle earns its place on your shelf. Our perfume dupes guide applies the same routine across more originals.

Clone or original? What to know first
- Can I wear Lancôme Idôle in 3ml or 10ml before choosing a clone?
- Yes. Idôle comes as a 3ml decant for €7.02, about 60 sprays, and as a 10ml decant for €18.09, about 200 sprays. Wearing it on a few different days shows you which part you want a clone to keep.
- Which Lancôme Idôle dupe leads our ranking, and why?
- Chérie de Fleurs by Câline leads. Parfumo's comparison page shows 92 of 104 users finding it similar to the original, the biggest vote base of the five, and it shares bergamot, jasmine, rose, vanilla and patchouli with it.
- How close does Pride get to Lancôme Idôle?
- On paper, as close as a note list can show. Parfumo lists bergamot, pear and pink pepper, jasmine and rose, and cedar, patchouli, vanilla and white musk, the same set as the original. Its vote line is 12 of 12 users, but the sample is small, so wear the original first.
- Which Idôle dupe has the lowest price per ml?
- I Am Ideal by La Rive has the lowest price per ml of the priced picks. Compare per ml, because the bottles come in 60ml, 90ml and 100ml. Every priced clone works out far lower per ml than the decant of the original.
- How much does an Idôle decant cost per ml?
- The 3ml decant works out at €2.34/ml and the 10ml decant at €1.81/ml. The 10ml size lowers the price per ml, and it covers about 200 sprays.
- Which Idôle dupes share its pink pepper and cedar?
- Pride and I Am Ideal list the same notes as the original, including pink pepper and cedar or cedarwood. Chérie de Fleurs lists neither, and Layaan has no pink pepper, so go by the lists if the pepper matters to you.
- Is there a dupe for Idôle Nectar, Now or Power?
- This guide compares clones with the original only. The Nectar, Now and Power versions are Lancôme's own perfumes and sit outside the ranking, so try them as decants if rose with caramel, orchid or apple sounds more like you.
- Does 10ML sell dupes?
- No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €7.02.
