About

French Antique is Perfume Parlour's budget take on L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by Guerlain. It opens with Cedar, Bergamot, Grapefruit, leads into a heart of Patchouli, Cedar, Sandalwood, and dries down to Hibiscus Seed. The overall character is woody with citrus and amber facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
