by Béatrice Piquet

Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Béatrice Piquet. L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme opens with Anise, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Cedar, Lavender, Tea, and Cacao Pod, and dries down to a base of Musk, Hibiscus, and Elemi. Guerlain's L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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'.

About

L'Instant de Guerlain opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, underscored by a surprising hint of anise and jasmine. This fresh introduction swiftly gives way to a sophisticated heart of rich, dry cacao and earthy patchouli, intertwined with aromatic tea and creamy sandalwood. The base settles into a warm, musky embrace, leaving a lingering trail of subtle sweetness and woody depth.
