There is an inherent contradiction in L’homme Ideal Sport, a newer men’s cologne first released in 2017 by Guerlain. It is distinctly masculine, but with a dewy, childlike innocence thanks to prominent aqueous notes at its opening. A similarly strong top note of almond gives it a hint of the gourmand, while vetiver and coumarin suggest a fougere, and warm, exotic notes of patchouli and spices produce an oriental accord.
