L'Homme Ideal Eau De Parfum Spray For Men, 3.3 Ounce

This is absolutely amazing. In the beginning I was a little skeptical because of the reviews saying "it doesn't last" or "its not the same" but after I got it and smelled it, its absolutely amazing. The cherry, the leather, the cardamom, its truly a very beautiful and unique blend the cherry almost identically resembles the cherry from Inito's Narcotic delight. The power is truly amazing, I sprayed it once and it filled the room, and once I stepped outside I felt like I was purely surrounded by that warm leathery cherry. Overall its definitely a 10/10 its strong, it lasts, and its definitely one of the best and unique smells ever.

From the days of my early youth my father would tell me I had no sense of smell, and I needed to always wear a scent. Do you think I became a little insecure? A- ha! My father did not sweat, and after moving to Florida, neither did my mom. Wow, I loved Ft. Lauderdale, in my youth, and many of my wonderful memories also included sweating. I did not spritz sweat a little, It would start in my hair and pour down causing me to go temporarily blind. I guess you could say the full shower. In the late 70's my dad gave me a pair of boots from Allen Edmonds, and I loved them. The problem was I rarely cleaned them, and any time I was a passenger in his car he would smell me. He had some type of super nose, and I would wither from 6'4 to 2' nothing. That man would just stare and I could feel myself slipping out from my seat belt. When I would purchase the hotest new scent, he would tell me it was worse than monkey pi*s, it was Rhinoceros pi*s! I often thought about opening the window so I could throw my manhood out, it was useless for me... 40 years later, and saying goodbye dad, I put my life together, as most men do, and carried on. I can't remember what turned me on to Ideal, but I blind purchased this bottle that arrived today. I spritz, closed my eyes, and I was hypnotized. I felt so fine, lost in happy memories. When I finally pulled my nose off my wrist, I thought... man, my dad would have loved this, and he would be so proud. I do not suggest this is a granddad smell, nor a remembrance scent. Ideal, just makes you feel like you are finally that "all put together" man. Like everything is "smooth sailing", so to speak. This is a blind buy, and I could not be happier. The scent is unlike anything I have known, but in a very very good way. I believe Ideal would make a great signature scent. PS, and by the way, the bottle design reminds me of my parent's ash trays at our Manhattan address, which were very nice. The spray nozzle is excellent, so be judicious with the finger.

One of the best perfume long lasting and smell fruity ☺️☺️

Not sure if this has been reformulated or not. My first time smelling it. Never smelled the original. I don't get any cherry here - maybe it's just my nose. I do get some tobacco. I checked my bottle to make sure I had ordered the EDP and not the Extreme. It says EDP on the bottle. Regardless, it smells great. Actually kinda reminds me of D&G The One EDP. Doesn't last super long or project super far. Maybe needs to breathe and develop more and I need to wear and smell more.

Seductive and refined, Guerlain L’Homme Ideal EDP absolutely nails both. From the first spray, a lush blend of creamy almond and sweet vanilla, and then it is softened with warm spices and a whisper of cherry. The leather and woods add a masculine element without being harsh, cozy without getting cloying. It’s perfect for cooler evenings, date nights, or whenever you want to feel confident and magnetic. Longevity is solid—expect several hours of noticeable projection and a soft skin-scent for quite a while afterward. Sweet & gourmand, but elegant, Rich almond & vanilla base balanced by refined leather, and Compliment-getter, yet subtle enough for classy wear! It does get any better than this!!!

I was skeptical about purchasing for a number of reasons. I don't usually purchase fragrances on Amazon due to my fear of getting fakes and the price is usually better on fragrance discounters websites. Also, with all the reformulation talk and suggestions that the new batches were inferior to the old ones, I really wanted the older version of this. The price also made me suspicious. Why was it $70 when it was $100 everywhere else? Well, I bought it and I LOVE it. It appears to be the real deal and it smells amazing. If this is inferior to the previous version then I need that older batch even more now because this was a 10 out of 10 for me. It is not a beast-mode fragrance but would be perfect for a date night or a formal event. Longevity is 6-8 hours and projection is moderate for me.

At first when I first tested this on my arm, I didn’t like it so much. The alcohol overpowers for the first 20 minutes of the scents life on either skin or clothes. When I actually smelled the fragrance, I fell in love. Best way to describe it is a sweet and smoky vanilla fragrance with a heavy dose of cherry. But the smoke in this fragrance is not like a Gaiac wood or an oud. It’s more smooth like a cedar wood with incense, it’s so subtle yet it does the job. I haven’t done a test yet because I bought a winter time fragrance in the spring; how interesting! But I can tell this will be a new signature winter fragrance of mine. By the way if you are a fan of Aqua Di Gio Profumo or anything from aqua di gio or Parfums de Marly Layton, give this one a go for sure. This scent lasts about 7 hours on skin and roughly 10 hours on clothes. Solid fragrance for around the $60 range coming from a $142 and $230 price point. Don’t worry about quality either, the quality in this fragrance is also very good too. Nothing smells cheap, or synthetic.

Package came in great condition, however my atomisers leaking bad ,love the sent tho.
