What do reviewers say about L'Homme Idéal L'Intense and Sauvage Elixir?
Guerlain doesn't do 'intense' as a warning label. This is bold but never aggressive, warm, smoky, sweet in the way that earns attention rather than begs for it.L'Homme Idéal L'Intense
This is the one that people either crave or can't get past. The opening is aggressive, four spices firing at once, but that's the point. The concentrated blend creates an immediate impact.Sauvage Elixir
