I own a 100ml bottle of L'omme Ideal Cologne that only has about 20% left and a 50ml backup bottle that's sealed. The fact that this is a re-release is actually a selling point, I fucking love L'omme Ideal Cologne.
I tried the Cologne and while I really liked it, I prefer Platine Prive slightly more. Either way though, it's a good thing they released this cause the Cologne is gone. It would only be a meh release if they were still selling the Cologne.
It had the exact same notes breakdown as L'Homme Ideal Cologne, I was surprised nobody was mentioning that in any of the videos that I saw. I'm glad that brought it back, but it seemed like it was definitely gonna be a re-release of that. Really interested to try the new HR though.
I got Platine Prive this week, and I should get Habit Rouge Rouge Prive in a few days. LOVE Platine Prive (my wife loves it even more), and I'm very much looking forward to getting Rouge Prive.
I got the chance to buy the original Cologne, good to know Platine Privé is the same, the one I need is Habit Rouge Privé, but as you said, later... Thanks for the review Chris!!!
I love both Habit Rouge EDT/EDP and L’homme Ideal Cologne. Yesterday, I was able to take the first sniff of Habit Rouge Prive and L’homme Ideal Platine Prive - and it was no surprise that I loved both!
In just bought it and the rose is definately quite prominent. The leather seems to stay close on your skin, but when i return to the room where i had applied the stuff, the rose is the first you will smell . The sillage is mainly rose and bergamotte.
Thanks for taking the bullet, Chris! Wow but that bullet is great news! I wish this repackaging of good discontinued fragrances happened more often. Already have a 50ml of L'Homme Ideal Cologne, great one. Once this new package can be found in discounters I'll likely get a big one now.
@@jimlittle5769 well, I found it for a good price, so I finally pulled the trigger. I just wanted a creamy citrus in my collection, and Chanel AH Edition Blanche wasn't the one for me. My favourite is Uden, but it doesn't have my favourite price! 🤣
I love the house of Guerlain. Luckily I managed to buy 3 bottles of Ideal Cologne before it was disco'd. Have 2 left. I too paid less than £20 each for my 50ml bottles. Bloody fantastic summer frag. 👍 I've had the original Habit Rouge for a few years now. Love it, but it's definitely a classic smelling frag. The good thing is you'll smell unique compared to everyone else wearing. Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel or Aventus / Aventus clones. 😂
Thank you Chris!! Plenty of trickery out there. And certainly more to come. Pays to be vigilant, discerning and nowadays.....perhaps even suspicious? 🧐 Like a juice sleuth. An oddly satistfying linguistic combo. At the same time, perhaps brands have finally discovered the value of marketing discontinuations as the new limited editions, then re-releasing them in cheaper and trendier presentation. Scarcity does sometimes sell better than sex. Ps, really looking forward to your future vid on Le Male Elixir. I know it's gonna be a doozy. 😎
I’ve got the EdP and the EdT, will be getting both of these bad boys when they hit my ends in Tokyo. I adore the Ideal line and literally no one rocks Guerlain anything over here, let alone the l’homme ideal bits n bobs.
This was exactly as expected. I'll soon have both too and I'm more than happy. It does help that I got mine from France at a much reduced cost. Both amounted to a total of £140. Incidentally, my bottle of Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDP arrived this morning so I'll be interested to hear what you think of it. I think its a vast improvement over the EDT (which has grown on me).
Thank you for saving me from buying a Cologne that I already own👍🏻. But the habit rouge really sounds interesting. The problem is they are hard to find in the United States.
Thanks for the warning on Platine! I’d been meaning to order it all week. Went to do so yesterday and it was out of stock. I’ve got a full (larger) bottle of the Cologne. Unfortunately the Habit not available in the US.
Right after I clicked the Like button, you got shot and I felt way too powerful for a moment. Kinda like wearing the newer Aventus formulations; powerful, for a moment.
It’s a weird community we are in, where there are moral questions about a house reproducing, renaming, or rebadging their OWN creation, yet most are totally okay with clone houses completely stealing others creations and work products. Insane.
The fragrantica reviews say that platine is not the same as cologne but that it is a refined mature version of cologne. Looking forward to more reviews on this one. I have three bottles of cologne, but if this one is slightly different I’m gonna take the bullit 😂
I got both in last week and sold my rouge prive the next day. My wife says it smells like a grandma perfume wich i kinda agree with, its def not for younger people. Platine prive is the same as cologne but i love that stuff so im very happy with that one!
For info, i bought Platine Privée at Marionnaud in Paris for 89€. 32%discount. Great Scent . In fact a discovery as i have never been able to grab an Idéal Cologne bottle. 👌
I really hate how fragrance companies market their stuff. No release date, not clear whether it is a new scent or not. Discontinuation is never announced. Like, why not? This is pretty much the only branche that does this
Thank you Chris. The notes of Platine Prive did seem too similar to cologne and now you have confirmed my hunch. I still have close to 95% juice so i think atleast i can afford to wait for Platine Prive to hit discounters :)
Rouge Privé is an exceptional flanker. I have been wearing HR EDT and EDP for years and Privé is a really solid reinterpretation of the OG. Great leather note, great vanilla, and yes, I smell rose. Well worth the retail price- it’s very hard to beat Guerlain quality at that price point. Platine Privé is the Cologne on steroids. Again, if you like the Homme Ideal line, you will enjoy this for sure. Great grapefruit/ citrus at the top, long lasting creamy finish. Excellent product. Enjoy.
Am kinda happy you’ve said the Privé is the cologne repackaged as I love the cologne but like you I picked up the cologne for £20 odd same with Habit Rouge only paid £30 for 100ml will wait till the discounters get some stock
Good trick. Discontinue a loved frag, it sells out like hot cookies to the fans. Then release the same frag in a different bottle and name... a lot of buy it because its "new" and fans will buy because they will be happy to see that their loved frag is back.
probably the rose smell your smelling is the combination of nerol, iris components and probably some damascones. but it has more notes than listed for sure. like woods, musks or iso e super, hedione etc. which are not even under jasmine or woods. so its part marketing bs. actually i just checked the ingredients and it has citronellol, which is an component of rose. so your right :)
As someone who missed out on Cologne, I'm very excited for this release, hopefully it'll be available in Canada, Guerlain is impossible to find here. Chris, what is the watch you are wearing and have been wearing lately, it looks really sharp!
@@Wisdom887 Ya, I was one of the lucky few who bought 2 100ml at 60$ each when the fragrance just discontinued. Nowadays I see people stupid enough to pay 80$ for a 50ml size 🤦♂️
I’m surprised the price for the original cologne didn’t go up even higher than what they are selling for prior to this release. Well at least I know I can wear my bottle now. I kind of stopped wearing it as often because it was discontinued
@@mrrob4590 same, i have a backup bottle that I was saving for when I use the last 50% of my existing bottle. Now I can just go ham and purchase Platine the moment it hits discounters 👍🔥

New package is limited edition. Probably won’t hit the discounter’s
I was on the fence for the cologne, and I lost my chance. Now that they re-released it, I can finally be on the fence again! 💪😂
its overhyped..
I absolutely love Platine Prive. Highly recommend.

Took your advice, waited a bit till they hit discounters so I just picked these up.
Oh my freaking god!!!!!! I love ideal cologne. Now I can start using my two bottles without worry. 😍
Great to hear they brought back cologne

After finally getting my hands on Ideal Cologne, I realized it’s Dior Cologne with almond and more depth.
Thank you Chris from a new subscriber. Rouge privé is stunning !
Ahh ok, nice to hear that on the Platinum, I look forward a buy the Cologne version.
But now I'm very curious the smell this both versions ❤🔥👌
I will have to try it out. I can't wait to see a new channel and pdm
Which one is your favorite? I have never tried any
Before watching, I hope you like Platine, really looking forward to that one and hope its good.
Right after I clicked the Like button, you got shot and I felt way too powerful for a moment. Kinda like wearing the newer Aventus formulations; powerful, for a moment.
Guerlain juggles their compositions quite well. Can’t wait for reincarnation od HR Dress Code & Sport.
Im so glad i watched this video before pulling the trigger. I own 2 bottles of the cologne version
Where can we buy this from in the states?
For me ONLY Habit Rouge in the original formulation. I still have 1, 1/2 bottles left.
It’s a weird community we are in, where there are moral questions about a house reproducing, renaming, or rebadging their OWN creation, yet most are totally okay with clone houses completely stealing others creations and work products. Insane.
Exactly!
Appreciate this video! Probably gonna get both i have some samples on the way.😃
Where can I buy this?
I love the fact that they re-released it though I've been missing cologne
Nice one, Chris :) Keep up the good work.
Nice Prx Chris ❤️
The fragrantica reviews say that platine is not the same as cologne but that it is a refined mature version of cologne. Looking forward to more reviews on this one. I have three bottles of cologne, but if this one is slightly different I’m gonna take the bullit 😂
So, did you get it? If so, whatcha think? I love it!
I got both in last week and sold my rouge prive the next day. My wife says it smells like a grandma perfume wich i kinda agree with, its def not for younger people. Platine prive is the same as cologne but i love that stuff so im very happy with that one!
Well, I gotta have it for the sake of my L'Homme Ideal collection.
For info, i bought Platine Privée at Marionnaud in Paris for 89€. 32%discount.
Great Scent . In fact a discovery as i have never been able to grab an Idéal Cologne bottle. 👌
Where r u buy Habit Rouge Rouge Privé Guerlain,? I check website but I can't see
I’m new to the perfume game. Is L´Homme Ideal Cologne or Platine Privé suitable for the summer?
100% 👍🏻
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your insight on this! It’s very shady of Guerlain for pulling this stunt.
I really hate how fragrance companies market their stuff.
No release date, not clear whether it is a new scent or not. Discontinuation is never announced.
Like, why not? This is pretty much the only branche that does this
Yep. It’s hard to keep track of it all!
Iris accord here is very "rosy", I agree!!!
Where can I get Armani code absolu in the uk plz
Hi Chris. Where did you buy these, i'm in the UK like yourself.
where to get it? It's not on their website.
Is the habit rouge Europe only? I can’t find it anywhere in the states.
Thank you Chris. The notes of Platine Prive did seem too similar to cologne and now you have confirmed my hunch. I still have close to 95% juice so i think atleast i can afford to wait for Platine Prive to hit discounters :)
I have 3 bottles of L’homme ideal Cologne. One 50ml for the resale, but guess here my resale goes bust)
how is the performance on platine prive? is it a better buy than eau givree for the summer ?
I’d say I get better performance than Eau Givree. I think the creamy quality adds a bit of body which helps it last longer.
How did you manage to get a Guerlain for £20?
Rouge Privé is an exceptional flanker. I have been wearing HR EDT and EDP for years and Privé is a really solid reinterpretation of the OG. Great leather note, great vanilla, and yes, I smell rose.

I got about 200 ml of Cologne. Hmmm. I’ m waiting for discounts.
I mean i have 7 bottles of cologne and smelt the new prive today. Still won't stop me from buying it😂
Just purchased both….£219!
I love cologne, but only have 10ml left so…yeah…£99 is a big hike compared to what I payed for cologne!
I heard the new ADG PARFUM has nothing in common with profumo but rather with the original... i find it hard to accept
Guerlain habit rouge parfum is a much better fragrance in my opinion,I spray it then I have a smile on my face in how good it is🔥🔥
I really hoped they’d brought back Cologne, when my last bottle runs out this new juice shud have hit discounters.
Any news on if they'll ever do a re-release of Guerlain L'homme Ideal Eau De Parfum? I'm running out and it is my favorite fragrance of all time.
Am kinda happy you’ve said the Privé is the cologne repackaged as I love the cologne but like you I picked up the cologne for £20 odd same with Habit Rouge only paid £30 for 100ml will wait till the discounters get some stock
Yeah I’m sure these will trickle down to discounters at some point.

Well there we go!
Cologne is just that good... its a no brainer.
Ouch 100 quid naughty Guerlain I’m interested in the habit rouge though . I’ll wait until I can get it cheaper.
Mr Fragmental, have you tried Tony Ioomi from Xerjoff 🤩🤷♂️ ? Any thoughts?
Nope. Would love to!
As someone who missed out on Cologne, I'm very excited for this release, hopefully it'll be available in Canada, Guerlain is impossible to find here.
Chris, what is the watch you are wearing and have been wearing lately, it looks really sharp!
Thanks I love it. Tissot PRX 👌🏻
at the moment you can buy Cologne between 145 and 200 Euros !
well, an extra bottle of Cologne is not bad.. that's a good fragrance
John lewis has them for £85 and £101
The head of Guerlain marketing has a thin black curly mustache, and 2x dark slanted eyebrows along with an evil grin.

What’s his name?
