L'Instant Magique (for women)

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.
