DON'T BUY This Fragrance Before Watching This! | Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Eau De Parfum

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

In all seriousness though, Guerlain has always been a gold standard company in terms of blending artistry and wearability, and L'omme Ideal EDP is a timeless, damned near perfect scent. It's fantastic and stands completely on its own.

[@gerardgeorge]

Absolutely agree.

[@Silvio_TF]

perfectly said. they are so unique with a niche quality and designer likeability.

[@bator78a]

I was not a fan of sweet perfumes. Now I love it. Since I saw that it has notes of leather and wood, I ordered it blindly. I fell in love, it is my seductive and elegant perfume. For me it is masculine than unisex.

[@gerardgeorge]

100% agree on all points.

[@sevenpaulperalta929]

I have the EDT and was surprised at how smooth and rich that fragrance is! I just received the Platine Privee today and can't wait to wear it tomorrow! This line is indeed a masterpiece!

[@gerardgeorge]

I can’t wait to try the palatine prive.

[@QuesoCeez]

I wasn’t feeling this at first but it slowly started to grow on me, I usually use a different fragrance everyday for work but this has been so great for compliments, even during a date night they found it a pleasant scent and they loved it. Lasts for many hours and the spray is so satisfying !! Wish more fragrances had the same one

[@gerardgeorge]

Absolutely agree. Glad you have had good luck with this one it’s so well done.

[@Cooliewhistles]

I got this for $70 couple yrs ago, rarely wear it but just spray it when I want to smell it around the house . It smells like $200 plus quality

[@gerardgeorge]

Wow great deal!

[@fatshady5714]

This is My favorite cold weather in my collection of around 500 bottles...period! Friggin GOD MODE scent and I agree 100% with this fantastic review! Thanks for giving it some love, Gerard!

amazing cool weather fragrance, one of my favorites...lucky enough to find it a few yrs ago for like $60

[@gerardgeorge]

A steal at that price Rob!

[@jimlittle5769]

Guerlain is a special house. I ordered this one Monday. I got Extreme first, and glad I did, but had to get this one too. I've never smelled anything like either of them. Of course, I ordered it from Fragnet, and even paid extra for shipping, but in true Fragnet form, it still hasn't shipped so who knows WHEN I'll get it. Maybe by Fall... 🙂

[@gerardgeorge]

Yeah i feel you on that!

[@tpacalypse]

Just picked up the Parfum version, the 2024 version. Smells so good.

[@gerardgeorge]

Still need to try it

[@Dan-er2un]

Heard the parfum Is less strong and doesn't last long. Had the same issue with Chanel parfum. Thought any kind of parfum version was more intense with Better projection etc.

[@peaceduke1]

[@Ed-ce5mb]

Gerard, Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Eau De Parfum is a terrific fragrance. I love all Guerlain fragrances. The only issues with Guerlain fragrances is that they are hard to find in the USA. If you do not live in a big city, it is hard to find their fragrances to try them. Even when you find a store that sells Guerlain, they usually have only a small collection of their releases. I usually buy their fragrances online and they are bought without trying the fragrance. The great thing about Guerlain is that they only make great fragrances IMO.

[@gerardgeorge]

This is very true Ed. Extremely difficult to find them and try.

[@a_2010x]

My wife chose this for me on our wedding day. Such a great fragrance. Shout out from Greater Boston!

[@gerardgeorge]

[@rd5469]

It’s my favorite. In the summer the cherry note comes out and it’s a summer frag for me. The best in the line.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea I should have wore it this summer!

[@rd5469]

@@gerardgeorge next year buddy. I always thought it was a cold weather fragrance until I wore it in the summer, and I’m talking about 110 degrees. It really shines, which is crazy.

[@modalsoul6511]

Been rocking this since 2018, I’ll never stop wearing this fragrance, too sophisticated to wear casually ( you’d be wasting it) only when you look nice should you wear this . Like others have said .. this is a niche quality fragrance wrapped in a designer package and price.

[@gerardgeorge]

Beautiful scent no doubt!

[@Snedz496]

I like to wear it smart casual as I have other fragrances I can wear if I wish to dress it up. Obviously don't wear this in a tracksuit or joggers but I wear this with a clean polo, with a cardigan on top, paired with a good set of jeans and a nice pair of shoes 👌

[@KpxUrz5745]

Excellent review. Helpful!

[@gerardgeorge]

Glad I could help!

[@DarrenCampbell-k3b]

I saw a review 2 yrs back from Jeremy Fragrance and i rang one of our 2 major retailers in Aust and fortunately they had 1 bottle left, but as usual in Aust we pay a much higher price for frags so the 100ml set me back $200 AUD. which is about standard, when you said $99 i nearly fell off my chair, technically Gurlain is a niche brand , but its top quality and the cherry note with vanilla is sonething daring that has come together as a great scent classy i wear what i want when i want but coming into summer its been put away as it is an Autumn/ Winter frag.

[@gerardgeorge]

Absolutely well said I completely agree!

[@Mr.Bryan1234]

Guerlain are nice quality perfumes, I have and use shalimar,leur bleu,lhomme ideal,tobacco honey, cherry oud,rose barbare,neroli outrenoir.

[@gerardgeorge]

Tobacco honey sounds nice I haven’t heard of some of those before.

[@slikjmuzik]

I think the EDP is about as ideal as you can get for a date night fragrance. I still love the regular EDT and I lone the Extreme and L'Intense. All fantastic.

[@gerardgeorge]

The whole line I agree is great.

[@samdavis7025]

Smells great..not a big projection and last 5 to6 hours soft

[@gerardgeorge]

[@kingcharles4134]

Guerlain is the house that introduced me to perfumery , my grandmother wore Shalimar& I want to say Mitosoku ( the Progenitor of the gourmands )when she got married , and she kept a bottle on her vanity, My grandfather wore Vetiver casually and LIDGE for nights out...LIDGE original formulation being a showstopper of a fragrance..so when I found the Ideal line , I had finally found the Guerlain for me , I started with Cologne ( the most classy freshie EVER) went to the EDT and then got EDP and Intense ,unlike the other houses that do clothing their expertise lies in perfumery ,and they have mastery of vanilla, bergamot and tonka ,as one of,if not the oldest perfume housesGuerlain has always been a cut above the rest and the class,and craftsmanship shows in every creation of the House, the French know what's up with them they can hang with the Chanels & Diors ...

[@gerardgeorge]

Well said and love hearing the history you’ve had with the brand that’s so cool.

[@hewassuchaniceguy.7453]

Good morning, g!! Guerlain has always been a favorite house of mine. They are just timeless. Classic scent profiles with a certain modernity to them. I absolutely love ideal edp. Homme edp by guerlain is awesome as well. Take care my man!!

[@gerardgeorge]

I love Homme EDP. I couldn’t agree more you nailed it.

[@Snedz496]

IF this has been reformulated I still get about 7 hours on my 2J01 (September 2022 batch). It still smells amazing on me. I don't have an older bottle to compare it with however

[@gerardgeorge]

That's all that matters is how it performs on you regardless of batch. Happy to hear it!

[@brian9735]

I got this one a few weeks back. Opening is different, but I feel this opened me up to realizing that a scent is really the dry down (what most people will smell) and so many fragrances have similar dry downs. I need to thin my herd. I have way too many of these type dry downs.

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree dry down is the scent. That’s what matters for sure.

[@andrewharrisonstyles]

Great review Gerard. Looks I need to hunt this down in Australia. Ur on the brink of 8K subs - well done mate!

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Andrew! Also thanks for supporting since early on 🙏🏼

[@corylabarge718]

The bottles with the color bands are the preformulation. The new formulation I find is less fizzy and more latexy in the opening.

Thanks Cory!

[@danskinner467]

The bottle you're holding looks a darker brown but the bottle on the right corner is a pinkish color? Which is the better one?

[@gerardgeorge]

The bottle I'm holding is the more accurate representation of the juice color. The corner photo is just a marketing photo and colors arent always accurate.

[@jimlittle5769]

Just a note, Ideal Extreme doesn't have cherry. It has plum. It also has tobacco, cinnamon and leather (the EDP also has leather). Just off that, seems to lean a bit more masculine than the EDP, at least to my nose. Yeah, it has heliotrope and patchouli, but EDP has rose and lavender, so...I mean, it's all subjective, but I wouldn't say Extreme leans more feminine than EDP at all. Neither leans feminine, IMHO.

[@gerardgeorge]

Understandable Jim. I find extreme to be more floral and musky which that combo for me is feminine. I barely detect rose in the EDP. Lots of patchouli.

[@therefreshed5887]

Why does mine barely last 2 hrs with 4/5 sprays 😮

[@gerardgeorge]

Its not the best performer and is a bit more of an understated scent. With that being said its sneaky where even if you can't smell it others can. Also don't be afraid to spray this one a bit heavier.

Extreme has Fresh opening with sweet base , way different and also way more powerful than EDP. Its Crazy that people Say Sweet and Cherry on EDP... NO WAY NO WAY

I'm with you, I think this is a 10/10 for me. I have the Ideal Cologne as well, which has a grapefruit note instead of the cherry. Both are incredible. Mancera's Aoud Lemon Mint has some almond in the opening and starts out with a resemblance to the EDP/Cologne DNA, but then changes to do its own thing. That's the closest I've found to anything close to the Ideal line. So glad I have it!

My first suggestion would be to spray heavier and don't be afraid to do so. By design this is an "airy" scent. Spray clothes. Also if you are spraying skin use an odorless moisturizer first. Even a couple dabs of vasoline behind your ears then spraying the scent on will help!
