Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Parfum was launched in 2024 - a richer version of the original classic. Created by Delphine Jelk, it has notes of amaretto, leather, musk and patchouli. This is the parfum strength. A really great iteration of this fragrance and a new STC store fave.
From the brand - "To reinterpret the iconic woody scent of L’Homme Idéal, Guerlain’s perfumers have looked to the world of spirits as an inspiration. Drawing upon the emblematic notes and spellbinding yet bold aesthetic of this world that shares so much with perfumery, this fragrance is crafted from an exceptional selection of highly concentrated ingredients, to create a scent of unparalleled seduction."
Delphine Jelk - "For L'homme Ideal Le Parfum, I evoked the almond in amaretto, making it all the more woody and all the more intense."
Fragrantica - "f this were to become the new masculine juggernaut, I would have no complaints! Fruity, almondy, slightly powdery, all sitting on a very smooth brown leather jacket. If I had to choose a couple of words to describe the parfum, and the Lhomme Ideal line in general, it would be effortlessly charismatic!"
Fragrantica - "This stuff is killer. For me, it comes across similar to the EDP but made more masculine with more leather. It also has similar fruitiness to the Extreme version. Great performance. Is it somewhat redundant to own if you have the EDP or extreme? Maybe, but who cares. It’s really that good."
Fragrantica - "This fragrance is absolutely gorgeous. One of the best in the l’homme ideal line. I find it is closer to the OG edt than it is to l’Extreme flanker. I prefer it over Extreme but it is not as strong. Signature scent worthy if you want to convey an elegant and serious image."
Fragrantica - "I love the original EDT version, but the Parfum is a 100% improvement. Starts boozy with the instantly recognisable amaretto. I get a soft leather in the background along with the Musk. This is a very well blended fragrance. Very classy. Don’t go too heavy on the sprayer as this is a strong fragrance and the sillage is impressive. Fantastic longevity and worth every penny."
