The review
Arsh scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé.
French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $57 per 100ml it costs 62% less than L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé is grapefruit, pink pepper and green almond at first, almond, amaretto accord and orange blossom at its heart and Haitian Vetiver, Tonka Bean and musk at the end. French Avenue set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- grapefruit
- pink pepper
- green almond
Heart
- almond
- amaretto accord
- orange blossom
Base
- Haitian Vetiver
- Tonka Bean
- musk
Grapefruit-cut green almond over Haitian vetiver; the crispest, most bracing L'Homme Idéal.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
