L’Homme Idéal Cologne, the refreshing myth of Guerlain

L'Homme Idéal Cologne, the refreshing myth of Guerlain
L’Homme Idéal Cologne, the refreshing myth of Guerlain

In 2014, Guerlain decided to create a masculine fragrance with a good dose of humor and self-mockery. He then created The Ideal Man. Also, L’Homme Idéal Cologne is an olfactory variation, born a year later and displaying a particularly invigorating freshness.

L’Homme Idéal Cologne, an ideal husband with three sides

The first version of L’Homme Idéal presented us with the image of a dynamic, charming, funny man… In other words, a good man to marry. Also, it is not surprising that he turned into the ideal husband a year later with L’Homme Idéal Cologne. At least, it is this portrait that is portrayed to us in the advertisement for the perfume with a good touch of humor. Guerlain then thought of its perfume in the image of a model husband, that is to say revolving around three facets … According to Guerlain, the ideal husband must indeed be energetic, charming and faithful.

The qualities of man seen by Guerlain

Also, Guerlain has clearly played on the ingredients of its essence in order to portray the different qualities of the perfect man. L’Homme Idéal Cologne therefore tackles energy and dynamism in the first place. These are worked with citrus notes and pink berries. The Italian charm, meanwhile, is brought in a more gourmet aspect. Indeed, L’Homme Idéal Cologne contains notes of fine and neroli. Finally, its background displays its loyalty and virility. This duo is worked around a vetiver / white musk accord. In short, L’Homme Idéal Cologne is an ideal perfume for all occasions and its marked freshness makes it an ideal asset for summer.
