L'Homme Idéal L'Intense

Whatever the answer, even if this gentleman remains a utopia, Guerlain decided to create its fragrance in 2014. Since that day, L’Homme Idéal has already delivered several portraits of its personality. It thus became L’Homme Idéal Cologne in 2015, L’Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum in 2016 and L’Homme Idéal Sport in 2017. Continuing on this momentum, Guerlain now presents, for the year 2018, L’Homme Idéal L’Intense.

The more mysterious spirit of the Guerlain bottle

Let us begin by looking at the bottle and the visual of L’Homme Idéal L’Intense. Indeed, nothing was defined at random, and the way a fragrance is presented always says a great deal about the scent it contains. Here, Guerlain clearly chose to play the card of virility. L’Homme Idéal L’Intense comes in a stable and solid cube, streamlined and infinitely masculine. Full of power, it lacks nothing in refinement and has traded its former transparency for a matte black surface that is rawer and more virile. The whole conveys a very contemporary feel while still possessing a few more subtle and elegant details. The cap of L’Homme Idéal L’Intense, for instance, borrows its guilloché pattern from the world of watchmaking. The vivacity of this juice, in turn, comes through in the yellow elements running across its label. Finally, the whole is not without evoking the original shape of the 1955 Habit Rouge bottle by Guerlain, offering a glimpse of its history and heritage.

L’Homme Idéal L’Intense, an incandescent fragrance

Since its first launch, Guerlain’s L’Homme Idéal has drawn inspiration from the feminine description of this modern-day prince charming. Intelligent, handsome and strong, they said? It is precisely around these three axes that the fragrances of this collection are built. The result is compositions full of contrasts, combining freshness and vivacity with sensuality and power. These are therefore all the elements found in this new version, L’Homme Idéal L’Intense. This time, the fragrance is enriched with a burning, effervescent determination. L’Homme Idéal L’Intense is not made to go unnoticed and speaks to all men who are not faint of heart. It dares to use one of the most remarkable and fiery ingredients there is: chili pepper. This unexpected spice is nonetheless wrapped in a more delicate tonka bean. The softness of this raw material recalls almond, an essential ingredient of the L’Homme Idéal range. Finally, the whole is bound together by smoky notes that only amplify the mysterious aspect of this fragrance. The result is a resolutely intriguing fragrance, burning with desire and utterly captivating. If L’Homme Idéal is a myth, its fragrance, on the other hand, is a reality!
