Pros & Cons

✅ This is an absolute masterpiece. Really fresh and masculine and full of Guerlain dna which i love.
✅ One of the best fresh fragrances I've ever smelled, and probably my favorite one of all.
✅ The best in the L’homme Ideal line. So unique - I really hope Guerlain brings this back.
✅ This one is an absolute masterpiece.
✅ Love at first sniff for me.
✅ Tremendous. 9/10.
✅ The best in the L’homme Ideal line.

❌ The opening is a harshly synthetic/medicinal mint and anise combo🤢. Once it settles it is…fine? Just a worse version of Ideal Cologne.
❌ It has a very mouth-wash type of a vibe to it. Mouth-wash combined with some sort of cleaning agent.
❌ this the worse copy of L’Homme Ideal Guerlain, very weak scent, did not like
❌ Opens very fresh and minty... the drydown quickly turned generic and bubblegummy.
❌ Not the refreshing uplifting mint I hoped for, it has that mouthwash type bitterness to it.
❌ I just hate hate hate this patchouli base dna where you smell like an earthy menthol tree branch.
❌ This smells like that 2 year old stick of gum at the bottom of ur moms purse; mint-less, rock hard, metallic and gunked in old blush and misc funk.
