Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Extreme perfume review on Persolaise Love At First Scent episode 103

[@rmapcynan1039]

It's so refreshing to watch a 'live' fragrance review, when so many youtube reviewers seem to need Hollywood style cut editing to make their reviews. This is one of the rare designer releases that interests me!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching. Let me know what you think of the scent, if you get a chance to try it.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Love today’s shirt ❤️

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much.

[@dhruvmini01]

@@Persolaise more than one comment on the shirt 😉

[@terrysmiles8599]

Just got the one with the black cap...Wow is that amazing...I love the smell its so awesome...Awesome review Persolaise...Thank You...

[@Persolaise]

Thank YOU for watching.

[@Jesus-Christ-Is-Our-King]

I just got it recently and it’s very beautiful, I really like it. It doesn’t last long on me though and it’s such a shame. Wish that it was a bit stronger.

[@Persolaise]

Ah, that is a shame. Thanks for watching.

[@MrBassrazz]

Over an hour into EDP vs. Extreme and EDP is definitely the winner 🏆. Love the cherry 🍒 notes of the EDP. Thanks for the great reviews 👌 and really appreciate the later dry-down comments.

[@Persolaise]

Many thanks to you for watching.

[@modernmabuse]

What a beautiful voice this is!

[@Persolaise]

That’s so kind, thank you 😊

[@SPACEDOUT19]

i can feel the prices increasing on secondary markets with the old red bottle...they just have to constantly change everything for no reason other than just to change stuff (and save a few bucks). The note line-up looks interesting on this honestly.

[@Persolaise]

You may well be right.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

Picked this up yesterday and I am so pleased you have done a review so now looking forward to hearing your views. I love the EdP. Update: Oooff fabulous review! Thank you. Really enjoyed listening to your description and I thought Courvosier feel so the cognac opening was true 😄

[@Persolaise]

Please let me know what you make of it. And thanks for writing.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

@@Persolaise Hi! I wore it today and I really enjoyed how it wore on my skin. I completely get the Cognac-esque opening, and I am not sure how this accord is made up from, but I also found a sour (in a good way) Plum which perhaps helped pull together that boozyness. The heliotrope I felt helped soften the mid, its not extreme at all 😄. It did remind me of the original, and I still felt it had a sweetness but dialled back as you said by some way. It opens quite loud but then softens. My No1 remains EdP! Love the rose and the incense. Thank you for your response and your thorough reviews and amusing chatter is always a pleasure 😄 Oh! And it lasts as a skin scent a long time, still on my arm 12 hours later.

[@Persolaise]

This is wonderfully thorough - thank you. I’m pleased you’ve enjoyed the scent. Thanks for the kinds words about the video.

[@theaansel8738]

We should all rush to the Guerlain HQ to find all these ideal men. Great video as usual.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. And yes - I’d love to see their ideal man training manual.

[@Sliceisnice850]

“At Guerlain, you can pick [ideal men] off the trees.” Laughed aloud like a loon.

[@Persolaise]

:-D Thanks for watching.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

I will stick to my Habit Rouge out of Guerlain masculines for now but may try this or the original at some point .

[@Persolaise]

It is certainly no Habit Rouge! Many thanks for watching.

[@srenhilbert6035]

I love guerlain, And your looks today🌷

[@Persolaise]

That’s very kind. Thank you 🙏

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

Gotta get myself a bottle of this, but no hurry, I'll wait till it gets cooler.

[@Persolaise]

Probably a wise move ;-)

[@dhruvmini01]

I actually want to buy the EDT since I own the Cologne which seems to be a mishmash or pamplelune and the original EDT. Hope to get my nose on this one. The EDP did not wow me. I though TF lost cherry did a better job of creating a sensuous almond/cherry accords. Thanks for the video Persolaise!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you for watching. I never did manage to give Lost Cherry a proper test.

[@steliosc.4686]

I couldn't agree more. The term " office scent" kills any interest i could have on a fragrance. I immediately think of a very very boring fragrance. Also the EDP is my favourite of the line. Nice video!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you, Stelios. I don't think I'll ever use the term 'office scent'.

[@steliosc.4686]

@@Persolaise im pretty sure you won't:)

[@usmanboron5628]

Hi, Dariush! You've written and spoken a lot about the Guerlain classics, for which I'm really grateful because some of them have become my favourite. Do you think it would be interesting to make a "nerdy" video about your take on how the brand has been "struggling" to develop since, say, late 1990s? Put simply, a list of more recent creations -- including the flankers of the classics -- that you like (or dislike).

[@Persolaise]

Wonderful idea -- I'll definitely give it some thought. Thanks for watching.

[@thefragrancewriter]

Usually the word "extreme" makes me shudder in this price range, since it usually means something of the likes of an overdose of iso-e super. But I would hope with a company like Guerlain, they wouldn't go that route. Likewise, when Bulgari released Man Extreme, they managed to still create a great fragrance without over-loading with a chemical smell (but at the same time, it still wasn't very "extreme") sounds like this would be a more please-able "extreme" as well

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I’d say it’s well worth checking out. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@brunoherrera2248]

Where did you buy that dress shirt and what brand it is ?

[@Persolaise]

So sorry, but I’ve had that shirt for years - I honestly don’t know what brand it is. I think I bought it abroad. Thanks for watching.

[@mmkline1989]

I found a bottle of LHI Cologne at TJ Maxx for a song, that’s the only one I have sniffed. I do enjoy it, but find the range of flankers head-scratching. Sadly that seems to be where we are with mainstream perfumery.

[@Persolaise]

I agree. I'm pretty sure Thierry Wasser himself commented on this in an interview I did with him years ago. Thanks for watching.

[@28saichaitanya3d6]

Hi Have you done a exclusive review on Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Edt or Edp

[@Persolaise]

You should find some L’Homme Ideal reviews on Persolaise.com Thanks for watching.

[@alainborgrave6772]

I found l'homme ideal intense quite good actually. (don't like the EDT which is too strong)

[@Persolaise]

Good to know! Thanks for watching.

[@mkp189]

How about the lasting?? Mine doesn't beyond a hour very much disappointed..

[@Persolaise]

I would say its longevity is fine.

[@mkp189]

@@Persolaise what would qualify as fine?😊

[@Persolaise]

For a scent of this type: 4-5 hours.

[@philippedelorme6296]

Great vid. Thx

Thank you for watching.

[@averoes4029]

Great job.... but for shortcut, it Starts @ 8:00

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@anindya2046]

At this point, are these actually "Guerlain" any more? Guerlain Homme Intense (now rebranded as Guerlain Homme EdP) was nice. I love my bottle Habit Rouge EdT from 2017, but then last year I got hold of an older 'golden cap' bottle of the EdT. It was a smack to the nose and mind alike, so ridiculously good that I bought two more 'golden cap' bottles. Life is short and it doesn't make sense (to me) to commit to okay/acceptable perfumes when things could be so much better. I'm currently looking for Mitsouko Parfum de Toilette from the 80s, and have stopped paying attention to the newer Guerlain releases. P.S. On your blog, it seems the links for the reviews of Musc Intense and New York Intense (both Nicolai) lead to pages that contain no corresponding review. Your videos are awesome, but still not as enjoyable as your written content! Thank you!

[@Persolaise]

You're certainly not alone with your concerns about 'modern' Guerlain. For what it's worth, I think their output is still worth paying attention to. Thanks for the info about the reviews -- I know there are still some glitches from when I moved over from Blogger last year.

[@gabrielgarcia7561]

Mr persolaise. Don't you have any feelings for Bleu de chanel Parfum? 🎩 🇺🇸 ⚓⛵

[@Persolaise]

Ha! What are you trying to drag me into :-D If memory serves, I reviewed it briefly on Persolaise.com.

Greetings from San Francisco 🌝

[@Persolaise]

Hi! Thanks for tuning in :-)

[@MrZZooh]

Awesome beautiful scent. Horrible performance and longevity. It becomes a skin scent at the 1 hour mark. The whole line is ass backwards with EDT being the strongest, and the EDP being OK and the extreme being the weakest.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for taking the time to write.

[@anthonyjones5385]

It does not last on me at all so not very extreme at all

[@Persolaise]

Ah, interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@bend.9457]

Too many ideal men ....I agree😞😞😞

[@Persolaise]

Ha! Thanks for watching.

[@Mikeaveli2682]

There are too many L’Homme Ideals. This should be the last. I have the EDP (my favorite), Cologne, and EDT. The L’Intense was the opposite of intense and Cool was forgettable, like the Sport. They’re all fine but nothing extraordinary. I prefer the mojito-like Homme line. I also prefer the Sauvage and Bleu lines to L’Homme Ideal.

[@Persolaise]

Fair enough :-) Heaven knows, Sauvage and Bleu have proved to be extremely successful. Yes, I always found Homme more interesting than L'Homme Ideal, but I gather the former didn't do very well. Many thanks for watching.

[@junaidimtiaz395]

Thumbs up

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

I will put my name down for an ideal man please 😂
