Ephemeral
"My top pick over the course of my lifetime for a non-lasting perfume, less than my lightest colognes. Lovely scent. Would not buy it again for this oddity. Can smell nothing a few hours later. Zero."
Idole de Lubin Eau de Parfum
$216.00
SKU: 21869
Captains of fortune and power traverse the maritime spice road in search of luxurious treasures. A woody liqueur rich in scorching spices, Idole de Lubin combines Makassar ebony, dried orange peels and Bourbon Rum. Spices from Zanzibar warm up a refined leather note. Around this idol, the worshiped figure of Nubian divinity, bark is burnt and resins are grilled. Painted bodies dance in a frenzy of joyful, delirious celebration.
Why we're addicted: It's an extraordinary dynamic masculine scent that recalls being on the high seas fearlessly in search of adventure.

Pierre-Francois Lubin was born in 1774 and learned perfumery from the age of ten in Grasse, the world's thriving center of fragrance production. Impassioned and completely enthralled with the olfactory arts, at sixteen he left for Paris to continue his training under Jean-Louis Fargeon, the personal perfumer to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
The creations of the young perfumer were an immediate success with the aristocracy, including Napoleon's wife, Empress Josephine, and the chicest and fashion-forward trendsetters in Europe. In the early 20th century Lubin Parfums migrated to New York, and became known for such iconic fragrances as "Nuit de Longchamps" and "Gin Fizz", which was created for Grace Kelly in 1955.
In 1998 Gilles Thevenin revived this exquisite, legendary Perfume House- over 200 years old and truly one of France's oldest luxury brands. Collaborating with the former owners and perfumers who reorchestrated their formulas, Gilles opened a new page in the history of Lubin. Today the brand is based in the heart of Paris, continuing the tradition of using the finest ingredients and working with the most talented Master Perfumers, and continually inspired by dynamic women and heroic men who perfectly embody their eras.

"I discovered this in the Lubin Discovery Event, and it was a love at first sniff! Leather, resins, and spices- this is completely unisex. I absolutely LOVE the Discovery Events that Beautyhabit hosts- I try to attend as many as possible. Beautyhabit has the best customer service and includes fantastic samples in each order. So glad I found Beautyhabit!"
