Dark, Daring and Deeply Seductive
Description
Guerlain L'Homme Idéal L'Intense is the darkest, most audacious chapter in the L'Homme Idéal story. Created by Thierry Wasser, it takes the iconic almond and tonka bean signature and pushes it into bold, oriental territory — opening with fiery chili pepper, cardamom and almond, before settling into a seductive core of leather, Bulgarian rose and labdanum. The base is deeply compelling: smoke, vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean and patchouli weave together into an unforgettable, long-lasting trail.
A vigorous, woody-spicy-oriental fragrance for the man who dares to stand out. Presented in the refined faceted Guerlain bottle.
