L'Homme Idéal

★★★★☆Editorial rating 4.3/5 · How we rateEau de Toilette · 100 ml

L'Homme Idéal by Guerlain seduces with creamy sweetness and gourmand warmth. Bergamot and almond in the opening; cinnamon and rosemary at the heart; tonka bean, leather and vanilla in the base. With medium sillage and 7–9 h longevity, it shines best in the evening and in autumn. Cosy and enveloping, like a soft embrace.
