L'Homme Ideal rebottled with a more pronounced citric tartiness in the opening. Nice to see it relaunched.

Not a cologne rebottle(I own it). It's similar, but has a sharper greener aspect, brighter citrus, even a green crispness like cool. 8.5/10

It opens with a tart grapefruit and Ambroxan, similar to a soft Bvlgari Tygar. In the drydown, an almost imperceptible almond and vetiver.

Simple yet pleasant grapefruit-focused fragrance, with well known almondy base that feels a bit too sticky in hot weather.

Its just L homme Ideal Cologne in another bottle! What a shame for Guerlain, what a „great” marketing stuff!

yes, it smells like the cologne, but not quite. It's a little sharper and more transparent. The creamy facets are missing, still good

Delicious cologne-like scent. Fresh and citrus fruity blast wihich ends up drying off woody and greenish by the raw vetiver and almond.

This younger iteration of L'Homme Idéal Cologne is brighter, lacking its predecessor's smooth, savory notes.

Great for summer if you're tired of the regular freshies. Unfortunately less of the addictive almond-creaminess than the Cologne.

A legend returns

Like everyone else, I got very curious about these two new limited releases so I have ordered them to see how the new Guerlains are.

I have tested both and I can say that I am impressed, last time I tested a new Delphine Jelk release I was not very impressed, but now I am.

This is a scent which has for sure an inspiration in the house of Guerlain and if you know that one, you will get the association right away after spraying it.

In my collection there are two similar scents with the Platine Privé: Imagination from LV and L´Homme Ideal Cologne .. but somehow I do not feel they are redundant to own all of them, they are all great in their own way I would say.

For a scent released literally a week ago, the performance is very decent and as a first batch, I do expect it to evolve a bit in the next weeks or months. I could still smell it on my wrist after 8 hours and on the clothes it has a light silage in the lobby.

For Guerlain, this must be a winning bet, because apart from Neroli Outrenoir there are not alternatives for a nice fresh smell, please correct me if I am wrong. The Guerlain Homme EDP is nice and smells like Mojito, but will not last as long as Platinum Privé.

Thank you for checking my video too.

I love the line!

L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé by Guerlain is like a secret weapon in a bottle. It has a unique blend of scents that make me feel confident and sophisticated whenever I wear it. The fragrance is not too overpowering, which is perfect for daily use or special occasions. It starts with a fresh and slightly fruity top note that gradually settles into a warm and woody base. What I love most about it is its longevity; it lasts throughout the day without fading away. Overall, it's a versatile and alluring scent that's worth adding to your collection.

My favorite iteration of L'Homme Ideal

As someone who discovered L'Homme Ideal Cologne too late, I am thankful for this new iteration. This gem opens with a bracing and refreshingly green grapefruit. As the opening gracefully lifts away, a magically delicate and creamy almond powder emerges. The tension between bitter green and silky powder creates a simple but intriguing composition. Of the several L'Homme Ideal flankers I have tested, this one finds the perfect balance for me. I'm very satisfied that I gave it a chance!

I highly recommend this if you want a less traditionally clean and masculine fragrance that feels appropriate in warm, but not hot, temperatures. Now why is this modern gem listed as "limited edition" by Guerlain? Certainly, it's popularity and quality warrants it a permanent addition to their catalogue.

Is it really you?

You remind me of someone. Those almonds, those citrusy notes. Aren't you... oh, what the hell. Glad you're here.

A true summer dream for me. Fresh enough to wear in high temperatures. With a slight sweetness so that you can also wear it to a party. Whether white T or white shirt with chinos. It works.

If I could choose a summer fragrance from my collection, it would definitely be this one. Guerlain has done it again. I am thrilled.

A few words about the fragrance. It starts out sparkling and citrusy. The almond is still a little hidden at the beginning. I was a little impatient at the beginning but it joins in soon. It loses some of its effervescence over time and becomes a little creamier and therefore more elegant. That's how it stays for me and that's a good thing.

What else is important. It lasts. It has always lasted a whole working day for me.

I wrote above that it is a summer dream. It is, but it can be used flexibly. Of course, it also works in spring and nobody will turn their nose up at it in fall either. If I need a good mood, I wear it in December too. That's exactly what this fragrance does to me - it puts me in a good mood.

I'm a huge fan of the range and I'm delighted to have it in my collection.

So private - unfortunately no access for me

Although I am actually a great friend (fan might be a bit too much) of the house of Guerlain, I somehow don't have the same access to L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé as many others here who have reviewed it.

Although this limited edition flanker has a beautiful, ripe grapefruit opening with a perceptible pinch of pepper and some vetiver, the almond unfortunately appears very late and extremely shy. In addition, I find both projection and longevity relatively manageable. No - I really didn't expect a beastmode and I appreciate it when an EdT can convince with inner values, but I don't recognize them, except in a few accents of grapefruit.
Nor do I detect any of the often-cited creaminess.

I also found Habit Rouge L'Instinct, which was also created by Delphine Jelk, strange. But I was probably not the only one who found it to be a bit of a mess or somehow watered down and irrelevant. However, Delphine Jelk's Habit Rouge in the Rouge Privé version made up for everything for me. It really is top - as far as I can judge subjectively with many others.

According to many perfumers, L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé should be just as good and I don't want to question that at all, but unfortunately I'm at a loss and still can't give it more than a seven, i.e. above average, although I think the theme, the bottle and the grapefruit are excellent. There seems to be something in it that passes me by - which just makes the overall appearance seem too mundane for me.
