L'homme Ideal Cologne by Guerlain, Strong notes of rosemary and grapefruit leave a distinct aromatic shadow behind the wearer of L'homme Ideal. This fragrance, released in 2014, also has top notes of orange and bergamot. Heart notes include almond and tonka bean, injecting creaminess into the citrusy blend. Woodsy cedar and vetiver along with leather make up the base. Still going strong after 175 years, Guerlain house was founded by Pierre-Francois Pascal of the same name. More than one royal court of Europe retained his successful company as their official perfumer. After Pierre-Francois died, his son Aime took over the family business. He was responsible for the unique base blend that was used in numerous fragrances. Several more men of the family headed the perfume house until 1994 when Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy procured it. Today, Thierry Wasser is the head perfumer, though the retired Jean-Paul continues to consult. The brand has produced 361 fragrances since 1860.
