Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
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'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rebel 33 EDP
Rebel 33 nods to Le Labo Santal 33's cult woody-leather signature but leans on a brighter citrus-spice opening and a simpler cedarwood-patchouli base, missing the creamy sandalwood-and-leather texture that made the original iconic.

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.
