L'Instant Magique (for women)

mmizy

I agree with the remarks that this fragrance is romantic, soft and subtle. IT is almost calming. It reminds me of more faint and sweeter Valentino Rock and Rose. Initially i thought that the components might have been too heavy for a hot day but I was wrong. Happy to have it as a new addition to my collection

I must confess that I really enjoy the musk in this one. So soft and sublte, and absolutely mouthwatering. I wouldn't compare it to the orginal b/c Idon't think they are anything alike and I do love the original. I usually can't wear musk b/c it makes my eyes water and this seems to really work on me. So glad I picked it up!

My first impressions of this perfume werent positive and i thought 'well, another Guerlain i cannot stand' but now i take back what i thought, because its so pleasant on my skin right now.
Of course its a real floral woody musk (one of my favorite olfactive group). Its a little bit floral, i really like the powdery violets in the heartnote and there is also a hint of woody sweetness which was created by tonka bean and creamy sandalwood in combination with vanilla, somehow romantic and not overpowering, quite elegant and comforting.
I would recommend it for day and also for night, maybe sitting in a exquisite restaurant, dine finest dishes and drinking wine. Just reckless and jauntily, Just Magic ;)

Often, new versions of older parfums stand behind their big sistas, but this one is sth totally different to the original. In comparison, I find it even better than L'Instant, which is already soft, calming ang caressing. Magique is more: more balsam, more powder, more flowers, more sweetness, more maqique...

Its a lil sweet on my skin at first but i love the drydown..sexy with a hint of muskiness and just the right amount of powdery feel to it

I find this has more personality than L'Instant. L'Instant is a new classic and everyone loves it etc... But it's like a Hollywood blockbuster - everyone enjoys it but it's no-one's favourite. L'Instant Magic is a bit more selective, it restricts its audience more. The muskiness makes it sexier and more original. I love L'Instant but I prefer L'Instant Magic because it's more unique.

I tested it and found it really magical. I imagined myself in a fancy dress and dancing.

It's a fragance very pleasent to my nose.

Along with original L'Instant, it is a gem, in my humle opinion. Creamy, voluptous, lush fragrance with a really faint hint of almonds and sugary sweetness. The dominant in here is the typical musky creaminess (like the typical Nivea scent) with a slight fruity tartness. But it is not a floral woody musk, on my skin, because the typical "dryness" of this category is not present. It is a compliment-getter, too, but it is not so easy to wear as L'Instant. It is too musky, compared to L'Instant. So noone should spray it on too warm skin, it could be too animalic. Otherwise it is a gem for cold, clean days. It is not funny, it is calm, lovely, melancholic, dreamy and cozy.

This was one of those fragrances that I loved when I first sprayed it on, but tired of very quickly. It is very bright and sparkling and pretty, but I think would suit a younger woman than me. It does not have great depth or mystery, but it is very pretty and certainly has its place.

Yup, same to me, not very unique, though still Guerlain. It was too sharp for my nose and thus annoyng. But it's still modern I think, more modern than Champ Elysees, though I like the last one more. I though it is just initial sharpness( alcohol?), that would dissapear within 10 minutes or so, but it stayed even after few hours. And I found it to be more floral fruity, or is it sharpness of scent confused me?

I thought it must be more unique than this.in fact I don't get any special sense by smelling it.

Takemyhusbandplease, I could have written your revieuw about Magic myself....! You take the words right out of my mouth. Magic is just heavenly (I think I've searched many years for a perfume like this!). Well, I almost feel the same about the original l'Instant.....! Beautiful. I think I might be a Guerlain fan.

a bit vintage

At first I liked this, then as the day wore on it just smelled powdery, and reminded me of an old lady. Ick. Didn't work for me, disappointing.

I had a huge battle with myself in a perfume shop, in a scence I had to choose between Ange ou demon (Givenchy)and L'instant magic.After smelling for hours my both wrists, I desided on ange ou demon and I have to tell you-I'm sorry.I think I wore more often L'Instant magic, passing everyday through a parfumerie to take my dosis-a drop of it.this one is really magic,I buy it next. I don't like the original, I think too they are quite different

My husband got me this - by mistake, it should have been L'INSTANT original (which he got after xmas for me because I was upset!) - and even though I have tried to love it, I just can't.

It reminds me of Lutece an 80s scent my mother use to wear...arrghhh!

L'Instant Magic is my favorite of the L'Instant family. I'm also a huge fan of the original L'Instant. Magic's dry down is floral, woody, lightly musky, creamy and even a bit crisp. Crispy, like a huge bouquet of roses & almond blossom misted over with cool dew, just taken out of a flower cooler. Just gorgeous! I'm not a musk fan usually either, but the rose, almond blossom, bergamot & nutty wood notes mix flawlessly with the white musk on my skin. I think Magic's just heavenly! I've read that Magic is supposedly nothing like its namesake. Though, I thought that Magic had very similar floral & fresh top notes, just like the original L'Instant. Guerlain's 'signature' almond blossom gives Magic that same creamy & honeyish gourmand quality of the original L'Instant. Personally, I think they smell vaguely similar. I've also read that Magic's sillage is supposed to be immediately recognizable- it's true! My husband immediately took notice. He loves Magic & he also loves the original. Magic does have some wonderful sillage. The lasting power is superb. 3 sprays have lasted on my skin well over 8 hours. Magic also smells great on fabric. When I'm wearing Magic I feel feminine, lovely, sensuous, confident and my mood 'magically' lifts! Magic is definitely bottleworthy! 5 stars out of 5!!!

Unfortunately I confused this one with the original L'Instant and bought a huge bottle of it... well... it is nice... trickly citrusy, powdery balmy floral with a sexy woody base... to sum up quite Guerlain-y, the usual quality stuff but absolutely NO WOW factor with this compared to L'Instant. An entirely different composition, I find it a marketing trick to put this along the same line as the other members of the L'Instant series... My mark on this is 4 out of 5.
