L'Homme Ideal Sport by Guerlain Fragragrance Review

L'Homme Ideal Sport by Guerlain (2017)

Notes: 

Top: Almond, Spices, Aquatic notes
Heart: Neroli
Base: Patchouli, Vetiver, Tonka Bean

Strength: Eau De Toilette
Gender Label: Masculine
Perfumer: Thierry Wasser & Daphne Jelk


I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm a Guerlain fanboy. I have five of their fragrances in my collection (so far), I always get excited whenever I hear about a new Guerlain release and I'm a huge admirer of the heritage and history of the house, as well as their commitment to producing high quality fragrances. 

The L'Homme Ideal collection are among my favourite offerings from the house and I own all four fragrances within it. Each fragrance offers a different take on that signature almond/tonka bean note and, in this review, I'm going to talk about the latest addition to the collection - L'Homme Ideal Sport.

Cinnamon: Sherbet Series 5 by Comme Des Garçons - Fragrance Review

Cinnamon: Sherbet Series 5 by Comme Des Garçons


Notes: 

Top: Cinnamon, Cedar, Bergamot
Heart: Carnation, Benzoin, Saffron
Base: Teak wood, Vetiver, White Musk

Strength: Eau De Toilette
Gender Label: Unisex
Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour


Although I'm no stranger to the house of Comme Des Garçons, Cinnamon was the first Comme Des Garçons fragrance I purchased that belongs to one of their themed 'series' fragrance lines. CDG fragrance fans will be aware that the house have created many fragrances that appear to belong to a conceptual collection. The most famous of these collections is Incense: Series 3

Cinnamon belongs to Sherbet: Series 5. I'm not sure exactly how CDG describe the concept of Series 5, but to me (having tested all three fragrances in that series) it would appear that the concept was to create fragrances centered around an ingredient that is edible. The other two scents that are available in this collection are Peppermint and Rhubarb

Top: Bergamot, Spearmint
Heart: Peppermint, Ozone Note
Base: Cashmere Wood, Patchouli, Cistus Labdanum, Vanilla.

'Roadster' by Cartier is a fragrance that I (somewhat) impulse bought over a year ago and it's taken me this long to be able to form an honest opinion on it...
