Guerlain's L'Homme Idéal, released in 2014 and composed by Thierry Wasser, is sweet, woody and citrus in equal measure, with floral, aromatic and leathery touches. It is an almond-led scent with a bright opening.

It opens with orange blossom, bitter orange and citrus for a fresh, slightly bitter sparkle, while rosemary adds a herbal edge. The heart is where the signature lies: almond, with its marzipan-like sweetness, and tonka bean, which adds a warm, hay-like softness. The base turns drier and more textured, with cedar and vetiver giving a clean, earthy woodiness and leather a smooth, slightly smoky finish.

Wearers are split between long lasting and moderate, and most describe a moderate trail. It is voted for autumn and winter and for day and night equally, which makes it a versatile cold-weather scent for work, dinners and evenings out.

L’Homme Idéal — for men fragrance by Guerlain (released 2014). Top notes: Citruses, Bitter Orange, Rosemary, Orange Blossom. Heart notes: Almond, Tonka Bean. Base notes: Leather, Cedar, Vetiver. — Parfica open fragrance database
