Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme EDT
This is a beloved, borderline legendary scent that people hoard bottles of. It's a rich, sophisticated gourmand that demands attention and respect, though it won't please everyone with its unique combination of anise and dark chocolate.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Revived EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Xerjoff - Nio - a warm spicy fragrance led by Green Notes, Bergamot, Neroli, with floral depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm spicy character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
