L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum

Notes

Top notes

• Almond Sweet, marzipan-like and slightly cherry-like nut.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
• Thyme Warm, dry herb with a peppery, slightly medicinal bite.
• Rosemary Resinous, piney herb with a clean, medicinal sparkle.
• Spicy Notes General warm, peppery accord of dry spices, used when a house does not name the individual spices.

Heart notes

• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
• Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.
• Black Cherry Sweet-tart red fruit with an almond-like undertone.

Base notes

• Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
• Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
• Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
