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.

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! 😁

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

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.

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.
@robes083 ай бұрын
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.

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!

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.

@CinHotlanta3 ай бұрын
@@robes08 A lot of its critics found it "juvenile" - I personally do not. I think there was a lot of dammed-up criticism waiting for it as I believe it was Wasser's first new line as the in-house nose, and I have no doubt that he was tasked with developing some new "modern" lines, which those critics were going to inevitably brand anything that varied from the old school Guerlain classics as "juvenile." For me, it's obvious it was the parent to the EdP flanker (it's so similar I never understood the hate it got compared the the EdP love) - the almond is more prominent and with the accord of the other notes it opens with an almost boozy strength, but that mellows relatively quickly into what I believe is a great, versatile men's scent that I really like and just wish more others did 😁- I think the negativity was too baked-in for all the hype of the EdP to save it unfortunately.
@GingerSpice373 ай бұрын
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.
