A sweet, dark almond scent with heat behind it, L'Homme Idéal L'Intense is Guerlain's 2018 masculine by Thierry Wasser. Gourmand is the word most people reach for first, with spice and woods close behind, while a minority add floral, resinous and leather to the picture.

Almond opens it, roasted rather than sugary, with cardamom and chili pepper giving a dry, slightly hot edge. The heart deepens into labdanum, a sticky amber resin, alongside leather and Bulgarian rose, which keeps the composition from becoming purely edible. The base is where it settles for hours: smoke and patchouli for darkness, vanilla for warmth and sweetness, sandalwood for a creamy finish.

Around half of wearers report it lasting a long time and the rest mostly call it moderate. Sillage is moderate for most people and strong for about a fifth. It is voted overwhelmingly for winter and autumn and more for night than day, which suits a cold evening or a formal occasion rather than a warm afternoon.
