Which Should You Buy?
L'Instant de Guerlain is a divisive brew: a complex gourmand with a refined, if vintage, character. You'll either adore its sophisticated blend of cacao and citrus, or find its old-school charm just plain 'old'.
Avgoustos is a light, natural-smelling fig and citrus combo that evokes the Greek summer, perfect for hot weather. Don't expect huge performance, as it's designed to be a subtle skin scent that blends into the moment rather than announcing itself.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and sophisticated gourmand-woody profile make it an excellent choice for office wear, provided it's applied lightly, and ideal for dates and formal events. While some find it suitable for casual wear, its refined character leans more towards dressed-up occasions, making it entirely unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, subtle nature and poor projection make it ideal for casual wear, especially in warm weather, rather than formal events or situations where a strong scent is needed. The 'skin scent' vibe means it won't offend in an office, and it's perfect for freshening up during sport.
