Leathery Booze

When I found out there's a new addition to this collection I was like WOW I NEED TO TRY IT. And it does not disappoint.

Imagine the edp, with a more lush cherry/almond note coming from the amaretto that comes off very boozy and sweet. With a strong backbone of leather, the kind of leather you smell in Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum , but here its more palatable and unfortunately it doesn't last very long.
I prefer this to the edp as this has bigger of a kick to it with the leather. Delphine Jelk really does know how to impress a loyal audience, gorgeous creation.

Nothing to be afraid of

I approached Ideal Parfum with some trepidation after my horrible experience with the Habit Rouge Parfum. In this case, my concern was unfounded. In general Ideal Parfum is a pleasant scent. It's not overly sweet. The almond is not strong as in baker's almond extract or even ground up almonds; it's quite smooth, reserved and refined. That's what you'll find in the opening. As it dries down, the almond retreats and it evolves into a pleasant, creamy, mild leathery scent with lingering almond and a subtle woody accord which I assume is the patch combined with something else. Longevity was decent with projection being more on the modest side. Definitely office safe.

Ideal Parfum, however, was not a standout for me or something that would interest me in a full bottle. Funny thing, the dry down leathery scent reminded me of Bel Ami in the far dry down, when it's almost a skin scent. Sorta watered down Bel Ami. Since I'm not much into the almond scent here, I'll stick with the stronger leathery scent of Bel Ami.

Everything the EDP Couldn’t Be!

The 2024 Parfum version is exactly what the EDP couldn’t be for me. It performs so much better on my skin. The almond note is rich and deep, and the dry down is magical. it’s smooth, warm, and inviting. I could wear it all day without it feeling too overwhelming.

What I love about it is how it evolves over time. The almond stays there, but it’s more balanced and refined. The whole fragrance feels more sophisticated, and the dry down lingers in a way that makes it even more addictive.

For me, this Parfum is the one I’ll reach for every time. It has everything I wanted from the EDP but does it so much better.

Addictive Cherry Almond

I really like this fragrance. It’s not too far off the EDP but is slightly more linear and denser as is the case with most of the Guerlain Parfum line up. This one is probably 2024 Guerlain Parfum release that is most similar to its EDP counterpart to me. Cherry, Almond, patchouli with a nice sillage that screams fall, rocking a sweater at some sort of outdoor event. It reminds me of Clive Christian’s Jump up and Kiss Me Hedonistic at a much better price point and does some things better than that fragrance. Really well done!

Creamy almond leather to perfection

Directly from Guerlain to my home, I was able to test the new L'Ideal perfume today. I liked the EDT, but the shelf life has kept me from buying it so far.
But the perfume is on another level.
At the beginning you get the almond and some fruit. However, the amount of fruit decreases and the leather becomes more present. Over time, the almond becomes more and more like amaretto. I can't detect patchouli at any time. Instead, the almond-leather note is embedded in a wonderfully soft and creamy musk from start to finish. And unlike the EDT, it also lasts on the skin.
I don't know of a more beautiful fragrance.
