Inspired version of L'Homme Idéal L'Intense by Guerlain (Quality A)

Chili pepper and almond over Bulgarian rose, leather and labdanum, on sandalwood, tonka bean and smoke. Almond done dark and smoky rather than sweet.

Fragrance notes

• Accords: Warm Spicy, Balsamic, Almond, Aromatic, Sweet
• Top notes: Chili Pepper, Almond, Cardamom
• Middle notes: Bulgarian Rose, Leather, Labdanum
• Base notes: Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Smoke, Patchouli

Works well in:

• Body and perfume oils — deep and long-wearing even at low dilution
• Soy and paraffin candles — strong hot throw; the sweet base reads clearly in wax
• Bukhoor and incense blends — the resins and woods take heat well
• Reed diffusers — one of the stronger performers on reeds
• Cold process and melt-and-pour soap — stable, but test first: the spice can discolour a pale base

Supplied undiluted and alcohol-free. Quality A is our highest raw-material grade: the richest materials in the range, giving this oil the strongest projection and the longest wear of the grades we offer it in.
