💸 L'Homme Idéal Extrême by Guerlain | Unboxing Series 🎁 SPICY / TONKA / LEATHER

[@Dongorgon777]

This is my favorite version of the L'Homme Ideal flankers

[@assreductionist8575]

Cool is the only one I never get tired of

[@razvanyke]

Mine too, so good.

[@robes08]

Appreciate you sharing! I can't wait to get to know it a little better.

[@PurpleHendrxx]

EDP is the best imo.. the Cherry on that is so unique in the designer catalog.

[@tsbehr]

There are aspects to the L’Homme Ideal line that are beguiling and even strange(the good kind). They can present themselves as being well constructed, mainstream and pleasing for mass consumption yet there are moments when they can surprise the wearer with their uniqueness. The cherry/almond/leather accords in the EDP can sometimes morph into something oddly animalic, like a cola steeped fur pelt. Or the chili peppers in the Intense can become pungent to the point of seemingly being an overdose. And then…they revert right back into being polite and acceptable! I love this house and am glad you did this review.

[@robes08]

I do agree with the subtle nuances on some of these that keep them interesting! Thank you so much for your take!

[@lutiajones]

I love you 😊. Glad you are still here. Been watching you since the beginning of my journey. Be blessed and thanks for great content.

[@robes08]

Thank you so much!

[@greene_74]

For me, nothing beats the original L'Homme Ideal EDT. Ideal cologne is my favorite flanker with Extreme being a close second. Another great video, Marc, in Robes we trust.

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

I have the EDP and this one. I think they’re both great but I wear Extreme more. They’re currently my only Guerlain scents. I want more from the house.

[@ZA-co9vj]

Get the OG. Underrated in the line. Very nice!

[@robes08]

It's on top of the buy list now. Thanks!

[@scentiment_]

I do like this line and the Extrême is my favourite, although I really love the Cologne, EDT and EDP as well. To me, my humble opinion, these are miles above the Initios of the World, even being the more comercial line from the beloved Guerlain. Thanks for the video, awesome work as always! 😁

[@Polyfusia]

With you there. Initio and PdM are just...bad. Well done designers like a good Guerlain or Dior are always more interesting, complex and artful. PdM and Initio are just oversweetened cloying swill for people with too much money and not enough experience or knowledge of fragrances

[@robes08]

much appreciated my friend! Love seeing you on the channel lately!

[@scentiment_]

@@robes08I appreciate you and I’ve always been here over the years. Just lurking 😂

[@houseman7315]

Man this whole line is so freakin good.

[@robes08]

it is!

[@woodstock480]

I love Guerlain, but having sampled most of this line, I didn't enjoyed it too much. However, I liked this one a decent amount.

[@robes08]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@shaunleonard3878]

Thanks for always keeping it real! No BS! Just the true facts! 👍🏼

[@robes08]

You bet!

[@samyyyyyyy]

Marc, you've gotta make a video intro that's not obnoxiously loud hs. love the videos! Also please get the OG EDT, its one of the best in the line

[@robes08]

lol that intro is really getting you lol

[@TheJlorette]

Pre-screening of episode-Fingers crossed for a great review… this house is one of my favourites.

[@robes08]

it was pretty good. Hope you enjoyed the review.

[@miroslavdjukic3884]

Perfectly put! Quality for price you pay... It may not be the most groundbreaking line but it is very decent designer especially compared to other designer releases :)

[@pandafragrance]

The new Parfum is probably my favorite in the line now. It’s everything I wanted Extreme to be and more.

[@robes08]

Panda selling me on the new one, damn you!

[@JT-rx1eo]

I have the L'Intense flanker. It's pretty good.

[@robes08]

it is!

[@ToriZealot]

Tonka is so iconic for Guerlain I would also assume it is really Tonka. Smelling Tonka Beans with closed eyes really resembles Marzipan/Almonds. btw. Nothing wrong with Ideal EdT :)

[@robes08]

I think it's time to get the original.

[@tzfragrance]

My journey almost started with this line. Think I went Pure Tonka, Pure Malt, ADG Profondo and then L'Homme Ideal EDP as my first 4 when getting into the game. Love this Extreme and think the EDT is a must to try out! Might be my favorite for its simplicity and slight freshness over some of the flankers save the summer editions. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the OG. Appreciate this post and the inspirational humility and transparency of displaying an 'off-day as a reviewer' though think you summed it up well nonethless! Thanks for walking us through this one, Marc!

[@robes08]

Love seeing your journey in my comments section, Pure Malt is a standout and great scent to start off. We all have our days and it can't be perfect as content creators, sometimes instead of scrapping the video you just ride with it.

[@jphorns730]

I got a sample of the new ideal parfum and ordered a bottle as soon as I smelled it …. Might want to give that one a try , it’s pretty dang good

[@robes08]

ohh it's on the list, looks like many that have smelled it did the same as you!

[@J_M_E_83]

I had this one but got bored of it after a while. I had the original with the red cap. It's definitely a great fragrance, but i prefer the EDT & I'ntense

[@robes08]

I can see that, I feel like this line is solid but also I feel especially with a collection like mine they often get overlooked for SOTD.

[@AdamU1989]

Great video as always Marc. I'm happy to see another Guerlain on your channel. In my opinion it's a very good one, probably not the best from the Ideal lineup but I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Maybe even in my top 3 of all Ideal flankers, but Cologne is still the best for me. ;) I think there are few more that you're missing - Sport which I didn't enjoy all that much and I think it has been discontinued already, Parfum that I haven't had a chance to try yet and Platine Prive or something like this. Original edt is still one of the good ones, so as a collector I think you should check it.

[@robes08]

I did miss that I have Sport to unbox, it's the 50ml and the box was hiding behind another so I was wrong in the video. I think the OG is next for me and then move forward to the newest ones.

[@majstorgile]

Good work! Was my pick for '24 new year night 😊

Great pick!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@robes08]

Thank you! You too!

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏

[@angelcuev6762]

Man this was fun. I need to complete this line. So elegant the almond cherry notes . Definitely a sleeper line from Guerlain.

[@robes08]

truth!

[@GingerSpice37]

Excellent video as always Marc. I have the the new L'Homme ideal extreme (sliver label). Smells good, 7-8 hours. If there was a reformulation, it didn't kill it. I also recently got L'Homme ideal Platine Prive since I always missed out on the fresher flankers and it's also great. You should definitely get the EDT. Even the new bottles smell great.

[@robes08]

The EDT is already in a basket online, we will see if I pull the trigger on that mega haul lol

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

I just ordered this Extreme version as my first Guerlain fragnance. Looking so much forward to smell it. It’s another blind buy 😅. Great review though.

[@AdamLovesFragrances]

How is it?

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

@ It’s beautiful, I really like the scent profile. The only thing that is not so good, is that it doesn’t have the best longevity. It doesn’t last so long time on me, and they call it Extreme. It’s not extreme. But it’s gorgeous, smells amazing in the opening.

[@millenialbroadcast]

Great review

[@robes08]

Thank you!

[@brenlynch4811]

Cheers Marc I do have several,from the line ,and I do enjoy them ,never went for this one ?? ,don’t know why ? But pretty sure I would enjoy it but I just moved on and kinda lest this one in my wake. Cheers have a wonderful weekend man 🙏✌️👍

[@robes08]

Thanks Bren for sharing my friend. Some lines, that happens.

[@MrGoodsalesman]

Buy the OG because it taking rent in your head...love your channel.

[@robes08]

If it keeps paying rent, I'm fine with it.

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

Huge Guerlain fan, but not really a fan of the Ideal line. I do like the latest Parfum version though & might get a full bottle later in the year. Sampled all 3 new Parfums & got a full bottle of Vetiver Parfum (that one is magic). The new Habit Rouge is great too, but not quite as good as the og or Prive, imo.

[@robes08]

I can't wait to get my nose on those new ones, I'm usually 2-3 years away from smelling new releases so I'll see you in 2026 on my unboxing of the parfum editions lol

[@traffictraffic]

I have the same bottle as you. Black cap with red label. I can say that I also owned the newer one, black cap with silver label and there is a little bit of a difference to my nose. The newer one plum is brighter but doesn't last as long as the black cap and red label. My nose is basic so that's about the only difference I can tell lol

[@robes08]

Good enough of a nose to notice the nuance. Good catch!

[@kevintaylor5552]

Great video kid , i have the whole ideal collection !!! Love all of them

[@robes08]

That is awesome!

[@looneydesi]

I got a sample for this one. I didn’t like it.. I do have EDP and I ❤ that one

[@robes08]

The EDP is pretty solid!

[@oudscuo]

robes, if prices were the same would you take ideal extreme over lost cherry?

[@justaddlight]

My fav of the line. They honestly should have made THIS the parfum release. But I can understand the sentimentality behind the originals.

[@robes08]

I look forward to sniffin the new one of the line and see what we get!

[@patrickbateman4541]

I tried getting this presentation of extreme and it unfortunately got lost in transit in Italy... giving the new version a try soon

[@robes08]

Some Italian smells great.

[@Indecencealicia]

Very nice scent tfs

[@robes08]

💯

[@CinHotlanta]

This won't be popular, but I am a HUGE fan of the original EDT, which has been culled so i know I was in the minority. My second favorite was the Cologne and thank goodness I have backups of both 😁 My third is the EDP, which I also have backed up, but I suspect it will be the longest-lived of the entire line.

[@Yozik2]

The extreme and the og are 95% identical to my nose. That's why I was quite disappointed when the extreme came out. I though to myself, where the hell is the tobacco. Quite redundant if you already have the og

[@robes08]

Thank you so much for the feedback, since I don't own the OG nor smelled it this was not too bad. I'll try to get the OG to complete my collection and I'll keep this comment in mind when checking it out.

[@Namo81]

Nice one 😊

[@robes08]

Thanks 😄

[@razvanyke]

This is by far my favorite desginer from Guerlain. I also got the Parfum recently and it´s also very cool, on another level. The nose is subjective, too bad you do not like it so much, but it´s ok. Take care !

[@robes08]

It happens, if we all liked the same thing it would be pretty boring 😴

[@Mr.Cologne]

This is something I like 👍

[@robes08]

Thought you would.

[@NotstarvinMarvin]

This opens up better than the original with that cherry like accord but within an hour its almost the same as the OG edt. I dont get why this is hyped so much, better get the OG 150 ml for a cheaper price. Both are not top performing but nice scents.

[@robes08]

I still need to get that OG!

[@nunyabidniz3262]

I'm a big fan of this line. I'm fortunate to have the original Red cap. This is definitely the best of the line, followed by Cologne/PP and the OG EDT.

[@robes08]

I think I need that EDT in my life.

[@nunyabidniz3262]

@@robes08 if you like the line, IMO, you must have the EDT👍🏾

[@jamesnash7262]

…i have the EDT and the COLOGNE which i like a lot…i could go 8.5 on the EDT, an equal to HABIT ROUGE EDT on a good day…obvious GUERLAIN quality…personally not attracted to the flankers with cherry or tobacco notes…solid line, youthful, a bit showy…

[@robes08]

Great insight! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

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

I just got it today, and was looking forward to get it, but I’m so disappointed with the longevity. I really like it, and it smells good, but it is so weak. Feels like false advertising, they need to remove that Extreme asap.

[@robes08]

oooh sorry to hear about that, yea these intense, extreme names on fragrances did fool some people on performance as many brands use the name for marketing only.

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

@@robes08 Yeah, it’s a shame. I also experienced it with Gucci’s Oud Intense and was pretty weak. By the way, I got me a Serge Lutens, Amber Sultan, and it’s great. Not so strong, but it’s so nice.

[@hasanbulut9193]

I like the EDP but it is too subtle and doesn't have enough head to show itself. I wished it had little more molecules to push it up without messing up the beautiful fragrance profile. Extrême sounded like what i wanted but it let me down... too heady with too much molecules that pushes it up in a spikey manner that ruins the romantic and warm profile that makes it what it is. Extrême smells like Mancera, not Guerlain. Okey what i wish is too small difference for a new flanker and people would bash it down and i wish they could fix EDP instead of pushing out flankers that doesn't match to them.

[@robes08]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

[@ZA-co9vj]

Leather is a bit dirty in Extreme

[@robes08]

interesting, I'll have to pay attention on the next wearing and see if I get that. I knew the leather did surprise me here as the strength of it up top.

[@wazzabanzook5028]

honestly didnt like the cologne, had it like 7 years ago and couldnt wait to finish it , was overspraying it to the gym. liked it at first but few weeks later the floral notes in it with the sweetness started getting to me, want a scent that i liked. people thought it smelt nice on me but i didnt like that type of sweet citrus floral thing

[@robes08]

I'm not as high on cologne that others are to be honest. It's solid but not a MUST HAVE, pay more to get it type of hype.

[@Fuder95Ibra]

Alright so you’re reviewing the version which is discontinued now it’s in new bottles and reformulated, what’s the point ?

[@robes08]

For the ones that have this specific type if it is indeed reformulated. So if someone is buying a used bottle you can't sample it, you can't test it and you trust my nose you'll know what you get. Actually these kind of reviews are even more important than the new release videos you see from everyone.

[@Fuder95Ibra]

@@robes08 I trust your nose, that’s why I’m here, it’s just I won’t pay 200$ for old reformulation, what’s most likely I’m gonna buy is the new reformulation for best price from the discounters 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@greenpowerhans24]

All this talking and you didn’t think to tell us the batch code on this black cap bottle dude! It would have been very interesting to know that..!

[@viggenone]

Never really like this line, smells good, just not something I need to have. I blind bought the fresh one, meh. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!

[@robes08]

I can see that this line does not really offer anything big and new so skippable enough that you won't miss much.
