SOTD: Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Extreme

🔥

23h (edited) • SOTD 🍊

A new addition to my collection and on first wear I can say this takes my #2 spot over Ideal EDP. Still have Homme EDP at #1.

This starts off with a blast of nutty spice from the almond and pink pepper with just a touch of bergamot. Does not come of citrusy at all. The open is short lived at about 15 minutes.

After that a nice juicy plum mixes in with the almond. The plum note is excellent. I don’t pick up any cinnamon and I think the almond is coming from the Heliotrope since it’s a softer more powdered smell.

The plum stays for a good amount of time and gives the tobacco note a nice sweet twist. I can detect some woods but not so much on the leather.

Overall performance is good, I’m a little less than 4 hours in and get about arms length projection. Fragrantica says this is a fall/winter frag but I think you can get away with this one year round
