When I got Ideal EDP I was initially a bit disappointed. it smells really good, but I thought that I only lasted 2-4 hours. When I smelled my jumper the next day and it still had that delicious vanilla cherry smell on it, I knew it was just my nose playing tricks on me. Jus de Rose advised me that Extreme is different enough to the EDP to justify owning both, so I've added it to my 2021 wishlist. I look forward to owning it.
Something was a little off at the start but it grown up and now i absolutely love it!! I get huge performance from it, over 12 hours longevity and in the deep drydown smells like chocolate! One of my favorites this year!
Just bought this today, November 26th, 2021. As a relative newbie, this is my very first fragrance with tobacco in it and a gourmandish edge to it (the plum). I have stayed away from "gourmand", from leather and tobacco so far. I am not really drawn to smelling like stuff people eat. But this one is an easy way for me to...er...ease ever so tentatively into this sector of fragrances. It doesn't scream "tobacco!", doesn't scream "plums!", doesn't really scream anything. It's...refined. Classy. I certainly don't want to smell like a walking marzipan, either. The almond in this one is, again, well blended in. Yes, I like it. I consider it a very happy first dip of the toe, as it were. I heard another reviewer with a lot of experience in the Ideal collection say that Extreme is notably unlike the others in that it's not sweet or "chirpy", rather more refined, dry, aloof. I'm SURE that's why I like it. I suspect I wouldn't go for the others. Extreme is likely right at the borders of my capacity to enjoy this kind of fragrance. But I do, I really do.
I just received Extreme today and opened the package while listening to your video. OMG! I love it!!! Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on Cool yet. I have the rest of the line.
I'm a fan of the L'Homme Ideal line. Had to order the Extreme and the Cool from a French discount website at different times. The exchange rate and shipping kill whatever discount you get, but I want to complete the collection so I pulled the trigger.
I sampled Extreme and I really like it. Cinnamon, tobacco and leather are my favorite notes. I also own EDT and Colognes as well. I used to wear Cologne at the time when was released but lately it's not working with my body chemistry. Smells like rotten lemons.
My favorite from the line. A lot of classic touches (powdery heliotrope and vanilla) which I love. I do get 7+ hours when it's cold outside, however I have worn this last summer a couple of times and then it burns off within 4 hours.
LHI Extreme is the best, you can almost taste the plum. I actually bought the whole bottle on google shopping after watching the video. Thank you for the heads up! Finger crossed its legit...
I've been talking about the Extreme for the longest when Ashton first talked about it on his channel and got it from overseas. I got a sample of it shortly after that time and it took me a bit to get used to it (my skin was not going for it at first), but yeah, it's a great fragrance. To me it has a almond / cherry liqueur and warm plum vibe going on with the fragrance and is very, very nice for a designer. Sweet, sensual, warm, attractive, and just overall very nice and I recommend trying a sample. They just listed on Fragrantica that it is the #1 choice in their "Reader's Choice Awards" for men's fragrances for 2020, so now suddenly everyone is talking about it after the longest, lol. Nice release overall.
Will have to give the Extreme a second chance. Earlier in the year had a face off between three perfumes to choose just one to buy as my favorite: Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme, Bvlgari Man in Black, and Prada Luna Rossa Black. My favorite ended up being the Prada and got that one. Still have a sample of the Guerlain Extreme though. In a way it's kind of rough to me, maybe the pepper? At least compared to the smooth Prada it seems rough. My favorite from the L'Homme Ideal line still is the Cologne. A very Happy New Year 2021, Sebastian!
Not sure what it is, but there is something in the Extreme that my nose can't handle. Too much almond maybe. Because I can handle the EDP just fine and they are very similar to my nose. Ideal Cool is nice and fresh. It reminds me of a Mojito.
Hi Sebastian, do you find extrem boozier than the edp? I got the edp and think its the best from the line. Guerlain is a really good brand, its a boring idea to squeeze until the last drop the l homme ideal line, and considering thierry wasser is a master perfumer i hope to see something new in 2021, not a fresh side l homme ideal flanker
A day later I am reassessing. Yes, it's still weak...ish, but there's a bit more guts there than the first impression suggested. You can't be timid about spraying it on, 'cause it's by no stretch of the imagination anywhere even remotely in the neighborhood of "beast mode." You just gotta pump away. A few spritzes right on your hair, and when you spray the wriists and collar area be SURE to get it on both your skin and your clothes. Okay, maybe you'll asphyxiate your taxi driver on the way to work, but it's not an obnoxious scent in any case. He shouldn't mind that much. By the time you get to work it's a highly pleasing "ambience" subtly wafting around you. I asked my best friend if I "smelled" too much, and his first reaction was that he smelled nothing at all, but once I drew his attention to it he said, "Oh yeah, there is something there. It's nice." So, CLEARLY I wasn't "fumigating" anybody at the office either. Still and all. the stuff does...stay there, in its slightly maddening subtle way. It's, like, kind of not there but...oh, yeah, "there it is again." And the big thing I have noticed after a few days getting used to it is this: just when you were convinced it had petered out and was all gone, suddenly there is a whole world of CEDAR floating around you. I'm wondering if this is Iso E Super, if I remember the name right, because I have had my first experience of Molecule 01 (a couple of weeks ago) and what L'homme Idéal Extrême is doing to me, at the extreme (no pun intended) end of its "afterlife," 12-14 hours after applying it, is wrapping me in practically the same sensation I was getting when I picked up Molecule 01 on somebody else and found myself going mad trying to identify what that hypnotic scent in the air was.
Great overview on the line and spotlight on Cool and Extreme. I just bought the intense online and looking forward to unboxing it and seeing which bottle I got (all black or the clear). I still need these two in my collection and the sport.
I have the extreme. I wasvery disappointed at its strength.. it was gone from my skin in a few hrs. 4 probably at the best. After tht I cudn detect it. So it's a bita let down for me. Dior homme parfum. Is a masterpiece.. its probably the best ever in my opinion.
The extreme is one that has my curiosity piqued , cinnamon and plum? Oh how I want it to be amazing. Interesting to hear your thoughts on these :)🍀 happy new year 🎉🎊
Am shocked you have ditched the edp with the cherry note which u have always said was your favorite from the bunch. The extreme is a like ...not a love for me
Just today I tested it for my first time and I got a big disappointment. Just another thin rounded fragrance where nothing stand outs. Tobacco??? Really??? Where??? 99.9999% of the people who would smell this on a blind tasting wouldn´t say by themselves it have tobacco. And what you talks about thin perfume. Totally agree, where are the designer perfumes with deepness like Dior Homme Parfum??? I know that not all the perfumes has to be like DHP but at least those ones that have names like Parfum, Extreme, Intense, etc. should comply as DHP or be close to that level of quality. This could be a good perfume but is just a joke they made to us changing a little shit on the edt dna to make people buy more cheap shit that they are producing. No way, we are accepting anything they bring us to make money.
I know your comment was a year ago, but I just sprayed a sample of Extreme on my wrist, and searched on youtube for reviews. I was surprised to see that it had tobacco in it... I cannot smell tobacco at all. I noticed you were the only one to make that observation as well. Out of curiosity what are your top 3 or 5 favorite perfumes?
Mysterious NIght to me doesn't smell like any of the Guerlains so I can't compare but I love the Extreme from Guerlain and I do enjoy the Mysterious Night! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thank you so much for answer,I always chose my perfumes form your opinion especially about Perfume de marly Herod. between this 2 perfume if you want to chose for yourself which one you prefer?
I have bought the Extreme, a small bottle. Wonderful fragrance BUT...soooooo weak. I will enjoy this bottle while it lasts (using it fast, since it's so weak) and I won't be buying it again. Maybe if I were a Vanderbilt, yeah, but I'm just a Sears.
I have to warn others that you need to sample first before buying, do not make the same mistake I did, it does not smell good to me at all, definitely leans feminine
L homme ideal Extreme has a metallic note that destroys the whole composition in my opinion. And its there from the opening till the drydown. Can't stand it personally. The Edp is good though. Nothing special, a bit weak but still a good one.
Cool is vastly underrated/underappreciated. It's a fantastic fragrance for fans of mint and fresh fragrances. Super unique for what it is.
Got any suggestions for other minty ones?

@@filipgimell7507 Carolina Herrera Virgin Mint, Azzaro Wild Mint, Givenchy Gentlemen Only Fraiche off the top of my head.
My personal favourite from the line is the EDP, that cherry 🍒 and almond vibe is 👌
Extreme is one of my favorite fragrances ever! This stuff is addictive!
🎯
Yes it is. Ordered a bottle yesterday & I will get the L'Intense as well. Guerlain does it again💪
I like extreme alot. Longevity is around 5/6 hours on my skin. Edp is still the best out of the line imo and gets me more compliments.
I have the Extreme here in El Salvador! I don't know how it came here to retailers! But is gorgeous and it has some old school vibe that i love.
Guerlain is Guerlain !
1.edt so easy to wear
2. extrem, such a complex scent just wow
3.edp 🍒
I love Guerlain quality to the max ❤️
I love and will miss the GLI Cologne, but I'm excited to try these two flankers!

The old bottle with plastic around it is long lasting but a bit stiff in price the without plastic i don't know maybe changed their formulation..
Something was a little off at the start but it grown up and now i absolutely love it!! I get huge performance from it, over 12 hours longevity and in the deep drydown smells like chocolate! One of my favorites this year!
Cool is a sleeper!! Super underrated and unique.
Absolutely. I'm a sucker for that fragrance. Like the cologne but with mint and better. It's so unique and is like balm for my soul

Have the edt and the cologne and both are great. Will have to look to pick up extreme to.

Much preferred EDP version more than Extreme for me. Will have to check Cool out.
Been rockin’ the EDP this holiday season! Love it so much!
Totally agree Sebastian.. mist scents lact any lasting power.. weak is. Probably cist cutting
I'm a fan of the L'Homme Ideal line. Had to order the Extreme and the Cool from a French discount website at different times. The exchange rate and shipping kill whatever discount you get, but I want to complete the collection so I pulled the trigger.
I got the Homme cool scent. I love it
I’ve got the EDT ideal otw now, wanted the EDP but as we know it’s on the secondary market now. Take what I can get
Really enjoy this version but prefer the EDP. All the best in 2021, Sebastian.
Already have the original and intense. Sampled both of these and loved them. Purchased extreme as the performance was so much better than cool.
I've been using the extréme and I think is my favourite of the line. It feels very sensual.
Hi,
Thanks for your great reviews.
What would you prefer?
Guerlain ideal l'homme extreme vs armani stronger with you absolute?
Thank you 💐
I sampled Extreme and I really like it. Cinnamon, tobacco and leather are my favorite notes. I also own EDT and Colognes as well. I used to wear Cologne at the time when was released but lately it's not working with my body chemistry. Smells like rotten lemons.
Love this line!! Have yet to get Extreme. Great review
My favorite from the line. A lot of classic touches (powdery heliotrope and vanilla) which I love. I do get 7+ hours when it's cold outside, however I have worn this last summer a couple of times and then it burns off within 4 hours.
Love the EDP, and got a sample of the Extreme but didn't get into it - I'll have to try again.
LHI Extreme is the best, you can almost taste the plum. I actually bought the whole bottle on google shopping after watching the video. Thank you for the heads up! Finger crossed its legit...
I was never a big fan of the whole line, but the EDT, EDP, and Cool are pretty nice. Haven't had a chance to sniff the Extreme yet

Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try them and have a blessed day
Not sure what it is, but there is something in the Extreme that my nose can't handle. Too much almond maybe. Because I can handle the EDP just fine and they are very similar to my nose. Ideal Cool is nice and fresh. It reminds me of a Mojito.
From the designer realm I've been impressed with the performance and depth of Aramis Tobacco Reserve and Cartier Pasha EDP.
That's it 😭

Would you do a video about the cashmere note? I'm curious to know how that smells
The red bottle looks cool
Happy new year, and thank you very much for your videos
Great overview on the line and spotlight on Cool and Extreme. I just bought the intense online and looking forward to unboxing it and seeing which bottle I got (all black or the clear). I still need these two in my collection and the sport.
I have and love the EDP and the Cool, I am looking forward to buying the rest. And, yes, I will buy the rest 😁🦁
I got a heck load of compliments with the COOL. Regular people seem to love this scent.
"Regular people" LMAO
Guerlain is a favorite but I only have the regular EDT.
I have the extreme. I wasvery disappointed at its strength.. it was gone from my skin in a few hrs. 4 probably at the best. After tht I cudn detect it. So it's a bita let down for me. Dior homme parfum. Is a masterpiece.. its probably the best ever in my opinion.

The extreme sounds amazing need to check it out was a pleasure watching Happy New Year to you and your family 👍
Happy new year!
I LOVE the extreme version!!

Love the cologne from this line
Have you tried 'Cool'?
Is anyone can send link where to buy from Europe? Thanks in advance
I have only tried the Cologne and liked it a lot
Happy New Year Sebastian 🍾🥂🎆
Without question, Extreme is the best of the line. My ranking:
1a. Extreme
1b. Cologne
2. EDT
3. L'intense
Shame Guerline killed Cologne version
@@vladimirs5841 exactly. I don't understand the logic.
You're missing the EDP (fairly widely regarded as the best of the lot)
@@flynndean I own the EDP and don't really reach for it. I prefer all the above mentioned over the EDP.
Happy new year Mr Sebastian
The extreme is one that has my curiosity piqued , cinnamon and plum? Oh how I want it to be amazing.
Interesting to hear your thoughts on these :)🍀 happy new year 🎉🎊
It's so good!
Happy new year Sebastian!
First time hearing about L'homme ideal cool.
Sebastian, do you pick up any Ambroxan in Ideal Extreme at all? It sounds super appealing.
Very very light touches. Could be our noses playing tricks on us! :)
L Homme ideal extreme is similar to Mancera Red Tobacco
Happy New Year Sir.
has anyone compared Cartier pasha parfum with this? how do they compare?
So in the end, from the entire series, you would recommend the extreme, the EDP and the cologne (which was axed) or the cool?
Extreme, can it be used in summer?
Am shocked you have ditched the edp with the cherry note which u have always said was your favorite from the bunch. The extreme is a like ...not a love for me
