Beautiful Magnolia Fleur EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A honeyed floral classic with luminous citrus and creamy amber - radiant, refined, and deeply feminine. L'Instant de Guerlain EDP is a golden embrace that balances sweetness and sophistication.
This flanker isn't shy about doing its own thing, offering a gentle, almost watery take on white florals that's pretty but a bit forgettable. It might just surprise you with a creamy dry-down, though.

Its sophisticated floral sweetness is perfect for romantic dates and formal occasions, with moderate projection making it suitable for the office or daytime wear but too opulent for sport.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
