The review

On paper, L'Homme Idéal is an outside bet if you want L'Homme Idéal for less.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Homme Idéal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $133 per 100ml it costs 16% less than L'Homme Idéal — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Value1.8
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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

The original opens on bergamot, lemon and rosemary, turns to almond, orange blossom and rose, and settles into Tonka Bean, leather and sandalwood. That is the brief L'Homme Idéal is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lemon
  • rosemary

Heart

  • almond
  • orange blossom
  • rose

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • leather
  • sandalwood
Bitter almond and citrus over tonka leather; polished, easy and instantly likeable.
