Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Instant de Guerlain EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Prompt For Women EDP
A budget attempt at L'Instant de Guerlain. The sweet citrus-and-ylang heart over honeyed amber traces the original's soft, ladylike elegance; Guerlains are notoriously hard to copy, so it reads simpler and a little flatter, and gives up the original's above-average longevity.
