L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme (for men)

nesca1502

Just one word for this fragrance: HOT! I love it, it is sensual and intense, the boy I love wears it and it makes me go all lovey-eyes on him.
I agree that this is one of most "young" Guerlain's fragrances for men, wonderful fragrance.

A nice fragrance in the line of Gucci Envy and Very Irresistible. Maybe to leathery for me. I would not classify it as just woody spicy, maybe more a leather-woody-floral scent that is classic, long-lasting and refined. It is extremely chic, but really I prefer Very Irresistible as it lacks the "too much" leather notes and the musk.

From all of your reviews, this is going to the top of my list...the women's has been there for a while, too...sounds great! Thanks!

This was my first official Guerlain that I've worn. Prior to that, the name Guerlain really didn't register into my head and that they were a cornerstone of the perfume industry

Yes, I was well aware of the names of the womens perfumes out there, such as Shalimar (of course), Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue.

All Guerlain perfumes had one thing in common in my eyes--they were all too mature smelling for me...until L'Instant.

L'Instant perfectly zeroes in on the 20-30 something market. Anise to me is such a thrilling note--more complex than cinnamon or nutmeg and not as sharp. It was incorporated so well into this fragrance. Let's not forget to mention the gourmand caramel macchiato accord and hints of their signature Guerlinade. They also make and EdP version of the scent (which is the picture of the black bordered bottle on this page), heavy on the patchouli and anise, which is great when you are like me with Guerlain scents--they don't last long enough because of the large use of natural essences which is not as longlasting as synthetic ones.

Since then I've been able to grasp the concept of Guerlain and have happily tried and worn many of their scents.

A must have, you can smell every single ingredient as the fragrance evolves. It never gets boring, when it feels familiar you notice a touch of nice weirdness, when it feels strange you notice the comforting side of the gourmand notes. All the ingredients feel natural, unique and harmonic.

A fragrance of skin, immediate contrast, cool, hot and sensual at the same time. A mix of sensuality and severity! An only moment, when everything will be different!
This scent is enigmatic and involving. For me, it is better if worn at night. Magnificent long lasting!

This is very good. Shares some middle-note qualities with Lolita Lempicka. Mostly the sweet anise. But L'instant has a bit more to balance it out. I like both. This is a bit more formal, more refined than Lolita Lempicka, which is more suited for casual play.

Reminds me Burberry "Brit" but scent is more solid, more complex, classy with added "expensiveness". Moderately sharp. Drydown is a bit cofee-cacao. Sadly, not my style.

This has got to be MY signature fragrance as it sums up everything I am or would like to be as a person: Classic, elegant, intelligent, sophisticated, natural, honest, luxurious, warm and charming. Most notably, I felt so instantly comfortable with the scent as it triggers strong early childhood emotions reminiscing baking with my mom in the kitchen for Christmas. There are elements of lemon, nutmeg, cinnamon, anis spice, pepper, ginger, muscat, orange, and of course plenty of vanilla. It is by far the best scent Guerlain has ever produced according to my nose.

One of a kind, bitter-sweet, woody-spicy frangrance for men. It starts with sweety notes with hint of citrus. The it dries down through wonderful Lapsang Tea and cocoa seed heart to woody, ambery basenotes. Beautiful, elegant, modern and very....Guerlain-like. I wear it in the winter time (so now is the time) and I think it best suits cold, frosty weather, when snow covers the earth. Because of its sensuality it is very good for evening wear. Very nice and classy scent indeed! There is something in it what makes this scent exclusive, high class. Who knows - maybe it is the mysterious guerlinade note?

One of the most beautiful scents for men. Some say, it's not a good Guerlain perfume, but I have to disagree! So many facets, beautiful opening with notes of star anise and citrus, long lasting warm notes, a very good drydown. Works perfectly with the chemistry of my skin. It was mere chance that I tested this one - thank you Guerlain!
