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

Excellent cologne, warm notes of cherry vanilla liqeur, decent duration, and its projection is more initimate than far reaching, really subtle. Highly recommend. Definitely buying again. Sweet, warm, charming, can be either masculine or feminine, but i think its more suitable for a playful masculine aroma.

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.

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.

I ordered both ideal and extreme and I hated the ideal I found it to be too strong even after 3 sprays and felt it wasn’t masculine scent and gave it to my wifeI also have extreme which is masculine and smells nice and not too strong .

Absolutely love it! Blind bought this and it has become my daily scent for the winter. I smell a cherry coke and nutty soft leather on the opening, and it dries down to a soft woody almond milk scent after a couple of hours. 3 sprays around the neck and a couple of sprays on the shoulders lasts me a good 7hrs. Projection is mid and I get a 2-3ft projection for the first 2hrs and it stays around a foot for the remainder of the 7hrs for me. If you're the type that likes that "Beast Mode" fragrance, you're gonna be disappointed. This is subtle, classy, and an inviting type scent meant more for events like a wedding, intimate gatherings, and can work for dates. With that being said, it can also make a great signature scent that can be used for all seasons. One of my favorite in my small collection and I give thus fragrance a 4.7 out of 5.

Great cherry and almond fragrance, great projection, longevity is between 7-9 hours, really good performance overall.

Removing my 3 star review,, this is updated oneThe cherry wraps you so perfectly.. but have to let it dry down (alcohol is awful at first).Its reformulated or whatever, let it macerate for 4 months or spray every 4 hours,,whoever is nearby will go crazy, after nasty alcohol smell is gone you will feel that nutty almondy cherry and some smoky leather but thats pretty much it, most scent you get is cherryOr go buy Alexandria Fragrances 1981x (Xerjoff Naxos dupe) or Apple Crumb PDM Oujan dupe)both are times better than this oneif you into cherry take it but remember after 3-4 hours its pretty much gone

Bought this product once before so I thought I’d buy it again. But this one is garbage.The scent doesn’t even last 2 minutes before it fades away. It’s a hit and miss with these guys. That’s why they conveniently say they don’t do refunds. Just Incase they give you water downed stuff. lol. Learned my lesson. Rather wait till the actual one comes back on stock, then buying crap like this.
