L'homme ideal - actually times l'homme....
.... at least that's how I would describe this fragrance.
It adds an important ingredient to the original LhI EdP: the distinctive tobacco!
The "L'Homme Idéal (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" is unfortunately too monotonously sweet for me, I miss a counterbalance. The gentle almond on soft leather creates a seductive sweetness, cherry and delicious. But masculine? Not really...
It lacks an edge, a counterpart that complements the fragrance.

And that's where the extreme comes into play: the sweetness is still wonderful, this time with a plum theme, which I also really like (unfortunately, plum is generally seen far too rarely in perfumes :().
But above all, the full power of tobacco is also evident here!
It underpins the sweetness of the plum with a sexy aromatic note, which forms the counterpart to the almost (!) exuberant sweetness of the plum.
This makes the Extreme more masculine, more complex and more interesting than its big brother.
The leather? Similar to the LhI EdP, it catches the sweetness olfactorily, embeds it softly and finely rounds off the fragrance.

A successful work overall, very elegant and balanced. This was created with sensitivity, thank you Thierry Wasser!

The name of the rose...
...is Lyirc!

The "Lyric Man | Amouage" has already been dissected and described in other reviews more often more accurate, better and more vividly than I ever could.

But since he is one of my favorites, I can not resist the temptation to leave him a slightly more detailed comment anyway.
Consequently, this is therefore less a description of the fragrance, but rather a declaration of love:

So how does "Lyric Man | Amouage" affect me?

He does not just hover around me, he wraps me in his thoughtful-dreamy realm of roses, gently beds me in a warm, fresh four-poster bed and fills me with an indescribable, deep calm.

At the same time, it makes me sad. The rose in "Lyric Man | Amouage" is dark as the night, mysterious as a beautiful, strange woman, fragile as expensive porcelain, strong and steadfast as a venerable oak and cool and dodgy as a walk through a rainy alley.
It is thought-provoking and deeply melancholy.
A profound, tragically beautiful masterpiece.

If I had to compare it with a song, it would be "Over and over", sung by Frank Sinatra.
