I just really enjoy your content; how you speak to the camera, photogenic, honest, candid. I truly enjoy watching you and Ash much more than some others. Production quality great...and no clapping and spinning is a plus.
The video is long enough to retain attention, quite informative, and quite fluent and understandable for non-English audience. The ambience with those lamps and the shelf in de-focus is the best ever I've seen in entire frag-vlogging world. The light, the sound, and everything is just adorable. Keep going buddy. By the way, today I'm gonna review this one on my own channel.
Thanks for the honest impressions, Chris. It sounds like they’re sticking to “designer appeal” with this one. Most modern designer fragrances don’t quite “go there” with the boldness their note breakdowns might imply. If this was a more niche/luxury collection, I think it would have nailed it in the way you may have expected. I look forward to checking it out myself.
100% agree Justin it definitely leans on designer characteristics. I'm not really surprised but a small part of me was hoping they'd pushed the boundaries a little more.
Another Great Review Chris and thank you very much for the shoutout, much appreciated. It was a relief to see that you also preferred the EDP version. I think you could get by with the EDP and the cologne all year round and no need for any of the other flankers in this line. This was a missed opportunity of producing a truly awesome scent for the winter time by Guerlain.
I've owned it for a few months. It had to grow on me, but now I love it. It is a beautiful smell, longevity is decent and it is a great date fragrance.
Cologne and EDP are both definitely great creations. I was also hoping to be wowed by Extréme version but apparently it's another 🍋. I've stocked up on the cologne and looking to buy another EDP which seems to be disappeared from this planet. Great honest review my friend.
Awesome video 💪🏻 I love this line of scent for me all the line from guerlain L'homme ideal it's the best Designer line cost-benefit, I love the EDP and the cologne those are my favorites but I love too the intense and EDT versions I'm exited about this one!!! Cheers from Venezuela
Chris man, how likable and down to earth you are reminds me of the cool blokes round the pub! You've got a great nose and very engaging content - you have my support brother!
Excellent, thanks a lot for the review. I love the EdP and the cologne, and apart from the original, this one is the only other that's piqued my interest in the line.
Love these first impression videos, Chris. Hope to see more of them! And there is no need to apologize to your viewers, Chris. As you stated in this video, everyone has their own taste and opinions regarding fragrances...that’s actually one of the things I love about them. For example, why do I have fragrances that I paid like 15 bucks for that I love more than niche fragrances or more expensive designers? I liken it to wine. My wife and I love red wine, and there are bottles of cheapie reds that we enjoy way more than really expensive reds. Meanwhile, wine snobs would laugh in our face! Anyway, thanks again for this. I will check it out, as I love the Ideal line, particularly Cologne. Cheers, and my best to you and the fam! 💪👍🍻
Appreciate the review Chris, I must say your review is 100% on point! I live half the world away in Taiwan and weather is still cool but not cold, at first I thought i didn't spray enough but after many tried with 10+ spray, this fragrance still just doesn't project, honestly the plum almond combo smells nice and inviting but when a fragrance wears the name "extreme" on its sleeve, it shouldn't be this tamed & restrained. Personally i really enjoy it as an office scent and that's about it.
I really like your direct blunt honesty with your reviews ! I have the colonge and was wondering if I should get either the EDP or Extreme or better off buying another fragrance.
Had high hopes for this one and felt it might have been blind but worth but will definitely be waiting to try in store. Thanks for the first impression
FRAG-MENTAL Definitely. Actually, this might be a video idea in the making - Fragrances that ‘promised’ one thing but delivered another (I know it’s just a twist on previous ideas but there’s only so many themes you can draw on!).
Great review. I own the EDP and the Cologne as well and have been looking forward to the extreme but looks like it might be a Maybe at this stage. I would have loved the tobacco to be a bit more potent as well...but thats the way it is.
Thanks for the review Chris. I was going to blind buy the Extreme at the same time of getting a backup bottle of EDP as I've seen some hipe on the Extreme. I think I will try a sample first before I take the plunge on Extreme 👍
I haven't tried that one yet as it is not in stores. Same thing for Patchouli ardent and I don't feel comfortable blind buying those. So thank you for the honest review ! 😉 However I have the cologne version and I love it. I don't understand why they discontinued it. I may grab also the EDP sooner or later 😊
Great first impression Chris I have the cologne and edt both great performers,there is a change in the bottle with no colour band around the outside I’m going to get the edp for winter,I was looking forward to the extreme but think the edp is better going by reviews so far great stuff mate 👍🏻
I agree with it sitting closer to the skin compared with the original EDP. I was a bit underwhelmed by it at first, but now I actually do prefer it to the EDP. It does not live up to it's name, Extreme, it is less sweet and projects less. I think both, you and I had the same problem, before I bought the fragrance, I looked up the notes and maybe set my expectations a bit too high, but it has grown on me over time. Definitely would want to know your opinion about it now, has it grown on you or do you still prefer the EDP?
Hey Chris, thanks for the mention mate, really appreciate it. Oh and that pic made me chuckle. 🤣🤣 It’s weird and maybe it’s because I have not have much exposure to the heavy tobacco or leather scents but the main thing I get from this and throughout is tobacco, I find it quite similar to pure havane with tobacco being the main note then they both differences in the back ground. I got an almost gourmand feel out of it too with the almond and plum mixing with what seemed a bit sweet. That’s the beauty of Fragrance, we can pick up different things, maybe I will pick up more things as my nose matures as I experience more. I really enjoyed this and now I am worried about my expectations being to great for the EDP cus I love a boozy nite. I have the EDP but I am yet to open it yet, I have quite a few Guerlain that I haven’t opened so far. Great first impressions. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Hey Barry! Every single person is at a different stage of their journey into fragrance and we all have different tastes and expectations. As a result we all have different opinions and each one is just as valid as the next. These videos are just about our personal honest opinions which is why I urged viewers to watch yours and Pauls videos too. I enjoy the smell but it doesn't excite me. Also it's too much of a skin scent for my tastes but some may love that about it. Have a great day mate.
FRAG-MENTAL I agree mate, hopefully one day I will be able to pick out the little nuances in fragrances like you. You make me go back and re smell things to look for the things you pick up. 👍🏻🙏🏻
I enjoyed watching your face light up when you opened the box. It was fleeting but, I saw it. I hope you and yours are fairing well through this whole pandemic crap. At least you have more time to try for that mancub! Peace from, San Diego California
Thanks a lot.My decant is on the way.After watching the video it seems it is poor on performance. Saved my money.Thanks. But many other reviewers have given a hyped review of it. Lets see when I get my own decant and update you.
I agree with you Chris. Here in the Netherlands we can go outside and stores are fully opened now (crazy right lol). But i was able to test the Extreme in the store and i also thought it sat close to the skin way too quickly for my liking. I was a tad disappointed though.
I got the cologne a few weeks ago and have been wearing it regularly. Such a great fragrance for the price. Shame it’s discontinued. Have a 50ml bottle and reckon I will be getting another one soon. So easy to wear.
Labelling a scent as "extrême" almost binds the company to deliver a more robust and stronger (projection-wise) version compared to a standard edt or edp.
Definitely, especially when the extreme is usually a lot more expensive than the rest of the line. From an extreme version I would just expect a stronger and longer lasting version of the original
Have the edt and cologne... i remember i bought a decant of the edp and don't like it much like the original....now, i'm looking for the chance to try the extreme version😀
Stores are open in my area and it's a mad house. A fight broke out in a department store in just the first day. No one bothered me in the fragrance aisle though which was great haha
Ah the chuckle brothers 😂 actually thought about that before you popped it up, we need a Bazza Paul collaboration 😜 very fair review mate I guess we can't get excited by everything
Ooo this is an interesting scent review. Especially as the predecessor Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP is a fantastic juice. People seem to love it, a real compliment getter. Funnily enough, the EDT is a completely different scent and I don't rate it at all. It sounds like the Extreme is very underwhelming like the EDT.
Took a few wearings for this to grow on me. I think I like it as much as the EDP, maybe just a touch more. I do wish they cranked up the tobacco, leather and plum. Would have made it more special.
You have no idea how excited I was for this fragrance. Dam I was expecting something dark and sensual and enticing but it sounds like its more soft and tame which isn't bad but disappointing
I just tested both today, and I agree with you, totally, the EDP is much better, stronger, and has a distinctive special scent with that lovely combination of almond, cherry, canilla, tonka, incense, leather,etc .. While the Extreme was nothing special, fade, and very weak, no projection at all, I had to sniff my wrist repeatedly to catch a little whiff. The funny thing is : two female colleagues prefered the extreme, and could still smell it on my wrist. I sometimes tend to take female reactions into consideration but there's no way I would buy the extreme, I'm definitely going to the EDP, such a sexy, special, sweet and strong scent.
Thanks for this video Chris! I have a one question for you, because this scent is “RED” kind, can you compare with GUERLAIN “Habit Rouge” EDT/EDP maybe, is there any chance find similarity betwen them?!
FRAG-MENTAL So, betwen those two lines, your opinion, on what you take your 12£?! I am big fan GUERLAIN brand, but one is always better! You said better is?!
I have both the edp and extreme and love them both,edp 9 but extreme a 10 all day long and masterpiece,getting 10 to 12 hours with it and 4 hours projection but never dies,so I suppose everyone skin chemistry is different..
Just got the extreme.....my first thoughts was really disappointed, this is a huge downgrade compared to the beautiful EDT, hopefully the EDP is better, it will arrive on Monday :) After 30-60 minutes it has developed to a beautiful scent.
I have the edp and the cologne and I will get the extreme to try out once it becomes more widely available, your reaction isn’t filling me with much confidence haha 😆
The website states "The Ideal Man is a myth. His fragrance, a reality. L'Eau de Parfum Extrême? A woody oriental fragrance that will allow you to remain a man who is talented to the extreme, for everything." Ummmmm..... not sure what that means, but later it says that there are hints of those bolder ingredients. So, it seems like they didnt aim to use the boldness as the front player, buy more of a teaser. I'll be interested to try it out. I felt bad cause you were so happy at the beginning of the video. Lol... thanks for the vid!
I just got intense yesterday. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to extreme. I have all of them except for cool and extreme. Sport is my least favorite of the bunch
Great fragrances! Do you know their Habit Rouge privé ? And Habit Rouge Perfume? Guerlain is great quality, but greedy if you shop from them... Greetings from Paris France 👍
I’ve only the cologne version so far, but I’ve been looking to get the EDP next! Looks like I’ll go with the EDP before the Extreme still. Great video!
Nicely done, still to try this, seems a bit tepid, i had 100ml bottles of the original and edp but sold them as I wasn’t using them and found them rather boring and weak, i only currently have the cologne version which is the freshest but best performer weirdly enough 😁
My favorite is L'homme ideal L'intense. Given me really good reactions even some women turned around when I pass them and they walked into my scent trail asking me what is it I'm wearing xD
@@FRAGMENTAL Considering your taste in fragrance (which usually matches with mine) I'm sure you'll love it. It's the most masculine, smoky, dark and challenging.
@@shoesnob7987 I just found the edt to have better projection off my skin after testing both, but I would not say the edp is not as good just doesn't project as well off my skin. 👍🏻
Excellent review! I sort of agree but also my perspective is from a female side, i checked out all the scents simultaneously at the boutique and the Extreme one was the most noticeable for my nose, after smelling it I couldnt even smell much scent in the rest. Wanted to get at least one from the line so I got this one, Got it for my husband but came home and tried it on myself, am just in Love, it completely transformed after the first half an hour and now its a sweet almond cherry with deep dark intense tobacco on me, i love it and even love wearing it! Great line from Guerlain!!
I just really enjoy your content; how you speak to the camera, photogenic, honest, candid. I truly enjoy watching you and Ash much more than some others. Production quality great...and no clapping and spinning is a plus.
Thanks Russ. These more chatty unboxing videos are a nice change of pace for me. I just need to keep buying things to unbox!
@LoveofVelvet It's great to hear that you can enjoy my videos for more reasons than just fragrance 🙂
Great unboxing/first impression video and I enjoyed it and i can't wait to see full review and have a blessed day
Awesome! I've been hoping you would take a look at this release. I just bought the cologne version yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive.
Really interesting video Thanks for being so honest.
The video is long enough to retain attention, quite informative, and quite fluent and understandable for non-English audience.

Hey Paul, absolutely agree! This could have been rich and complex whilst still aligning with the Ideal DNA.
I've owned it for a few months. It had to grow on me, but now I love it. It is a beautiful smell, longevity is decent and it is a great date fragrance.
Great content as always it is, thank you 👍
Great as always, thanks

I have the ideal cologne such a good summer wear I’ll have to try that EDP when things get back to normal
Definitely recommended mate.
Barry my man! He got it before anyone... I will definitely pick this one up the notes and mix sound amazing. The EDP is the best for me
I agree with you 💯 about Guerlain l’homme Ideal line. Beautifully blended fragrances. Thanks for the review !
You're welcome!
Thx to you I've bought the Cologne and it's great! Thx I'm sure gonna try this one too
Keep up the great work your one of the best reviewers 😉
Glad you like it!

Bro keep unboxing these type of fragrances it’s pretty bold and different from blue fragrances that’s my favorite type of fragrance:)
Great review. I own the EDP and the Cologne as well and have been looking forward to the extreme but looks like it might be a Maybe at this stage.
I would have loved the tobacco to be a bit more potent as well...but thats the way it is.
It’s a masterpiece just try it
never boring watching your intro
Thanks for the review Chris.
I was going to blind buy the Extreme at the same time of getting a backup bottle of EDP as I've seen some hipe on the Extreme. I think I will try a sample first before I take the plunge on Extreme 👍
I’d love to see a full review :)
I haven't tried that one yet as it is not in stores. Same thing for Patchouli ardent and I don't feel comfortable blind buying those. So thank you for the honest review ! 😉

Great video as always! Thoughts on the original Ideal?
I always associate cherry and plum accords as leaning towards sensuality, as far as fruits are concerned.
Can you try a full wear and update? I want to believe it may be different with a full test. Such a great line.
Plum is my favourite note so this one has been incredibly anticipated by me , great to learn your thoughts on this :)
I wish it were Plummier!

Thanks a lot.My decant is on the way.After watching the video it seems it is poor on performance.
Saved my money.Thanks.
But many other reviewers have given a hyped review of it.
Lets see when I get my own decant and update you.
Please do a list for office/formal fragrance, two or three alternatives for each season, thx..
The edp is better. Many thanks for your honesty.
I agree with you Chris. Here in the Netherlands we can go outside and stores are fully opened now (crazy right lol). But i was able to test the Extreme in the store and i also thought it sat close to the skin way too quickly for my liking. I was a tad disappointed though.
Thanks for sharing that 👍🏻
The bottle is really beautiful
I can cross that off my list now - was looking at that but it should live up to the name extreme
I can't wait till this hits the states
I got the cologne a few weeks ago and have been wearing it regularly. Such a great fragrance for the price. Shame it’s discontinued. Have a 50ml bottle and reckon I will be getting another one soon. So easy to wear.
Yeah it's great!
I am very sad about the impression on this one so far. I really like the notes, but bad projection is almost a no-go for me.
Thanks for your honesty!
Trust I'm disappointed too. I'll give it some full wearings to see how it behaves.

Did ya pick up any scents?
@@pielucas439 yes i did: A*MEN Pure Malt, Artisan Pure, Y Eau Fraîche, Eternity Summer For Men, and explorer
Hmmm, this is the one i have wanted to try the most this year! hope i would like it more than you?. you must give us an update after some good wears.
Haven't you tried Ideal L'intense? It's really rich and leathery
Ah the chuckle brothers 😂 actually thought about that before you popped it up, we need a Bazza Paul collaboration 😜 very fair review mate I guess we can't get excited by everything
I did "chuckle" as I was writing their names in the description. That's when I went back in to add the Chuckle Bros pic.
@@FRAGMENTAL to me... Haha 😂
Ooo this is an interesting scent review. Especially as the predecessor Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP is a fantastic juice. People seem to love it, a real compliment getter. Funnily enough, the EDT is a completely different scent and I don't rate it at all. It sounds like the Extreme is very underwhelming like the EDT.
The punch is also what I am missing. it smells absolutely great. But it's not a strong one.
It does get plenty compliments tho.
(a nice plum freagrance, rasasi dareej its like 20 euros on notino) , love your content 🙏🙏🙏
Took a few wearings for this to grow on me. I think I like it as much as the EDP, maybe just a touch more. I do wish they cranked up the tobacco, leather and plum. Would have made it more special.
I don’t know if I should get this or the Stronger with you Intensely,
Performance and Sillage matters to me a lot!
Stronger With You Intensely is a beast performer, lasts long and projects wide, the L'Homme Idéal Extreme is so weak.
You have no idea how excited I was for this fragrance. Dam I was expecting something dark and sensual and enticing but it sounds like its more soft and tame which isn't bad but disappointing
Really recommend you theire Private Blend line. You should really try them out, especially Tonka Imperiale and Spiritouse Double Vanille.
Thanks, I will👍🏻
I just tested both today, and I agree with you, totally, the EDP is much better, stronger, and has a distinctive special scent with that lovely combination of almond, cherry, canilla, tonka, incense, leather,etc ..

Great review mate, like the honesty on it. Did you get replacement for the splash frag you accidentally got? lol - Nik
Yes! I'm doing a comparison video about it.
FRAG-MENTAL awesome look forward to it
I get more almond (which I love) from the EDT compared to the EDP.....so I may stick to the EDT
Original Vybe Promotions I have the EDP, and I’m on the fence about buying the EDT which I haven’t tried. Sounds like the EDT is a really good one.
Thanks for this video Chris!
I have a one question for you, because this scent is “RED” kind, can you compare with GUERLAIN “Habit Rouge” EDT/EDP maybe, is there any chance find similarity betwen them?!
Very different from Habit Rouge which is a classic masculine citrus. This is a sweeter darker scent.
FRAG-MENTAL So, betwen those two lines, your opinion, on what you take your 12£?! I am big fan GUERLAIN brand, but one is always better! You said better is?!
I have both the edp and extreme and love them both,edp 9 but extreme a 10 all day long and masterpiece,getting 10 to 12 hours with it and 4 hours projection but never dies,so I suppose everyone skin chemistry is different..
Just got the extreme.....my first thoughts was really disappointed, this is a huge downgrade compared to the beautiful EDT, hopefully the EDP is better, it will arrive on Monday :)
After 30-60 minutes it has developed to a beautiful scent.
Hi Chris. Has this grown on you over the month or is it still a let down?
I have the edp and the cologne and I will get the extreme to try out once it becomes more widely available, your reaction isn’t filling me with much confidence haha 😆
It's nice. Reminds me a little of The One in the drydown but it's pretty much just a skin scent for me.
Have you tried the Intense version? It's really nice for the cold weather
Not yet. Hopefully soon!
I expected an EXTREME longevity for this release 😭. But the scent sounds incredible.
Good honest review,from a good honest reviewer,I'd ignore the Thumbs down merchants Chris.
Cheers John 👍🏻

Hello, I want to use it in summer,🙋♂️
Hey man you and I have a lot of the same taste in fragrances... you gotta get your nose on Toy Boy it was instant love at first smell for me.
The notes sound great for the extreme.....but extreme flankers are never so good.
can it be used in summer?
I had the same experience, was difficult to detect I had anything on! Very odd!
Bought Spice bomb extreme instead. 🤔
where I can buy ???? could you tell me
I just got intense yesterday. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to extreme. I have all of them except for cool and extreme. Sport is my least favorite of the bunch
I have the cologne which is excellent...curious, of the cooler weather iterations of this line, which 1 would choose if you could only have 1?
Tried Sport as a body spray in hot/sweaty conditions, where it really shines?
I Love the edp Version ! The Cherry 🍒🤪
Great fragrances! Do you know their Habit Rouge privé ? And Habit Rouge Perfume? Guerlain is great quality, but greedy if you shop from them... Greetings from Paris France 👍
Just ordered ideal cologne because of the discontinuation
Can u please send me link where I can order in USA ? Thanks
Where can I find this at in the US ??
Ambre Tabac from Daniel Josier is my next buy even great to wear in warm weather!👍🤘🤙
I hear great things!
Yeah highly recommend that, i just started my 3rd 100ml bottle of the stuff 😁
I’ve only the cologne version so far, but I’ve been looking to get the EDP next! Looks like I’ll go with the EDP before the Extreme still.
Great video!
Thanks Josh👍🏻
Nicely done, still to try this, seems a bit tepid, i had 100ml bottles of the original and edp but sold them as I wasn’t using them and found them rather boring and weak, i only currently have the cologne version which is the freshest but best performer weirdly enough 😁
Tepid is a pretty good description
It's hard to compare anything to Hafez 1984 and not be disappointed. That's an underrated gem!
For sure!
Thanks for the video Chris. I think I’ll keep my wallet in my pocket. Cheers
My favorite is L'homme ideal L'intense. Given me really good reactions even some women turned around when I pass them and they walked into my scent trail asking me what is it I'm wearing xD
Quite a few people showing love for Intense in these comments.
@@FRAGMENTAL Considering your taste in fragrance (which usually matches with mine) I'm sure you'll love it. It's the most masculine, smoky, dark and challenging.
For me you can't beet the original for projection, the edt really leaps of my skin and lasts a while to. 👍🏻
Stuart Greensill Is the EDT as good as the EDP? I’m considering a blind buy. I know it’s subject...just curious what you think.
@@shoesnob7987 I just found the edt to have better projection off my skin after testing both, but I would not say the edp is not as good just doesn't project as well off my skin. 👍🏻
Plum seems to always calm a fragrance down.
First sprays often don’t perform very well, from my experience. This line is a soft one. None of them are powerful performers 🤷♂️
Excellent review!
I sort of agree but also my perspective is from a female side, i checked out all the scents simultaneously at the boutique and the Extreme one was the most noticeable for my nose, after smelling it I couldnt even smell much scent in the rest.
Wanted to get at least one from the line so I got this one, Got it for my husband but came home and tried it on myself, am just in Love, it completely transformed after the first half an hour and now its a sweet almond cherry with deep dark intense tobacco on me, i love it and even love wearing it!
Great line from Guerlain!!
Chris your shelves looking full might need a new one too start filling up.
There's already another full one that is off camera 👍🏻
It sucks that Guerlain’s US site only offers the EDT, Intense, and Cool.
And doesn’t allow you to order directly from Guerlain
