I spray it on my skin, but with some of my sweaters I can still smell the scent on them until they're washed. I bought the EDP right after I bought this - to my nose it's darker/warmer while the EDT is sweet/gorgeous.

this way by the time the leather note is the main player around 6-7 hour mark the sweetness will still dominate as the leather really comes out on skin more Guerlain magic i guess. I bought a full bottle of the Intense version - Intense hasn't the same fantastic fresh opening, but it's slightly less sweet and has a gorgeous smoky dry down. This fragrance still rocks, 2 sprays of 2022 batch last me all day and no need to add more, otherwise it will cause nausea! I absolutely love the opening, it gives me everything I was hoping for, but sadly it doesn’t wear well on my skin once it dries. Really pleasant blend of citrus, spices, and tonka bean notes, which work together to create a an elegant experience.

The DNA is similar to the original EDT and the note of cherry makes it very sexy, and very interesting. This is a citrusy aromatic fragrance with creamy almond note which opens up very brigh and cheerful with orange blossom and rosemary which gives it that slightly green and herbaceous scent which I love so much. I spray it like there’s no tomorrow, because I am an attention whore and I love the way people react to it. After the awesome Cherry Coke opening settles down, it's mostly linear - maraschino cherry, clean leather, almond and vanilla, although it does get more powdery in the far drydown.

I doubt you'll get any complements unless you hug lots of people or are constantly in other peoples personal space. I didn’t catch it prior to the redesign, so for those saying this isn’t a patch on the old, I can only imagine how good this was. I find the cherry note very gentle in the background not at the forefront, kinda disappointed in this if I’m being honest, I expected it to be a little stronger.I finally bought a bottle after constantly going back to the boutique and testing all of the L'homme Ideal line. sprays on my arm were pushing out enough for a female friend to comment in the car a few times how good it smells.
