  I had it and couldn’t wait to finish it, but when I finished it, I gave it away. It reminded me too much of the smell of very ripe, almost overripe oranges, just that and amber; it wasn’t to my taste. I will try the Eau Parfum version which carries iris and is said to be more powdery.

  The first time I used it, I didn’t like it at all, but the second time I loved its opening and heart. I wish it had lasted longer. In the end, only an amber or vanilla scent remained.

  I can’t stop smelling it; it’s an exquisite, elegant and timeless scent, simply unmatched. If you get the chance, try it on your skin, not on paper. What a delight!

  I never get tired of smelling it; it seems to me such an exquisite, elegant, and timeless aroma, so, so, unparalleled. If you have the opportunity to smell it in a perfumery, do it on your skin, not on paper. What a delight!

  The EDT accompanied me for almost 10 years and I believe it has been the most representative fragrance I have had. A few months ago I bought the EDP and gave it to my sister because it is too much for me. I will definitely return to the EDT; for me, it is Guerlain’s best creation. I love it! Edit: After 7 years I managed to get it back in EDT. It is completely timeless; I feel the same emotion smelling it. It is sweet but refined, not cloying or heavy, adorable and warm. It makes me feel like a Lady. There is no greater beauty in a fragrance nor greater pleasure in using it than what this provokes. No other fragrance generates so much pride, love, and beauty in me as this one. It will always be the love of my olfactory life.

  This perfume was a gift from a friend when I was 20 years old. I loved it so much and received so many compliments. It is a charming perfume.

  It is a bomb of white flowers, especially an extraordinary jasmine and amber, which reminds me of Alien, though no one has said so. The neroli, or bitter orange blossom, might seem cheap to some, hehe, but I think it is just its bitter touch, like almonds in Amaretto, which makes it very characteristic. I think it will please those who prefer intense, sweet florals, without those trendy red fruits. It smells classic and elegant, without being strident but powerful, long-lasting and leaving a trail. It would work as a ‘personal signature’, as it is not as seen as other Guerlain scents; it’s like the little neglected girl of the house, always in the background but with much to offer.

  It’s a bomb of white flowers, especially an incredible jasmine and amber that remind me of Alien. The neroli, which some might find a bit sharp, haha, is just its bitter touch, like almonds or Amaretto, giving it character. It’s ideal for those who want intense, sweet florals without those trendy red fruits. It smells classic and elegant, unobtrusive yet powerful, long-lasting and leaving a trail. It works like a ‘personal signature’; it’s not as common as other Guerlain scents, like the little neglected girl in the house who has so much to offer 🙂

  L’Instant Eau de Toilette makes me dream of a large, luxurious kitchen, with black marble over gleaming white furniture bathed in an autumnal sun streaming through a huge window. It’s so bright I don’t need extra light, and I’m baking a vanilla and apple cake. Around me, I smell fresh jasmine in vases everywhere. I put the cake in the oven, prepare a fine, sweet tea to go with it. It’s a moment of peace all my own, where I reconnect with myself. I don’t need anything more. L’Instant doesn’t explicitly name vanilla, but carries it in the base with a sweet, soft amber. I have the first formula; its juice is dark brown due to vanilla oxidation, and the scent is impeccable. It’s not vintage; it smells current, with freshly cut, luminous and warm white jasmine. It’s intimate, subtle, and always present with every movement. It’s a beautiful, timeless creation by Guerlain, worth it, especially if you can find the old bottle. I recommend it blindly, unless you dislike jasmine. Whenever I can, I’ll hunt for another in the old bottle, as it’s discontinued. A Guerlain gem about which very little is said.

  L’Instant EDT transports me to a large, luxurious kitchen with black marble over white furniture, bathed in autumnal sunlight streaming through a huge window. It illuminates so much that I don’t even turn on the light while baking a vanilla apple cake. Around me, I smell fresh jasmine in vases in every corner. I put the cake in the oven and prepare the finest infusion to accompany it. It is a moment of total peace, entirely my own, where I find myself. I need nothing more than to enjoy this warm home. Although the notes don’t mention vanilla, it is there at the base, combined with a sweet, soft amber. I have the first formula with dark brown juice (due to vanilla oxidation) and the scent is impeccable. It doesn’t smell vintage; it is luminous, warm, and current, with freshly cut white jasmine. It is intimate, subtle, yet present in every movement. A timeless Guerlain creation worth it, especially if you can find the old bottle. I recommend it blindly, unless you dislike jasmine. When I can, I will look for another in the discontinued bottle. A jewel of the house about which very little is talked.

  Maurice Roucel performed magic with this composition, thoroughly studying Guerlain’s history. Although released in 2005, it smells like a classic from the 90s. As a collector friend told me, it’s a ‘Hard Core’ floral. Even though it’s an EDT, it is more floral and intense than the original EDP. The white honey is present but less sweet, and without the iris, it loses that powdery touch I loved so much. It is a super intense, ambered white floral where absolute magnolia reigns alongside gardenia, jasmine, neroli, and lily of the valley. All these flowers dance trapped in a thick, dense amber, sweet but not crystalline, enclosing them like an eternal fossil. A remarkable work, a modern classic that perhaps goes unnoticed due to its vintage and stately air. Essential for perfume lovers, especially my 2012 bottle. Unfortunately, with the bottle unification in 2015, many iconic jewels were lost. As I said, I would have preferred the EDP for being more honeyed and powdery, but without a doubt, it is another jewel.

  Maurice Roucel executed this composition with mastery, as if he had studied Guerlain’s history in depth. Although it came out in 2005, it could have been a classic from the last century. As a collector friend told me, L’Instant is a floral Hard Core; don’t be fooled by the EDT, it’s more floral and intense than the EDP. White honey is in both, but here it’s less sweet, and without iris, it loses the powdery touch I liked in the EDP. It’s a super-intense, ambered white floral where the protagonist is magnolia with gardenia, jasmine, neroli and valley lily. These white flowers dance around the absolute magnolia alongside the amber, creating an accord encapsulated in a thick, dense amber, not crystal-like, which traps the flowers like an eternal fossil. A remarkable work, a modern classic that perhaps doesn’t receive attention due to its vintage and stately air. For perfume lovers, it’s essential, especially my 2012 bottle, since unifying fragrances in the bee bottles caused many iconic bottles to be lost. As I say, I look for classics in their original bottles; I’d prefer this in EDP for being more honeyed and powdery, but without a doubt, it’s a gem.

  I stumbled upon a hidden bottle amongst the rest of my cosmetics. The essence is incredibly sophisticated: classic notes with citrus sparks and green apple from the very first spray. The floral heart, featuring magnolia, peony, and Sambac jasmine, dances delicately. The amber and honey base closes with a silky, long-lasting finish that evokes classic perfumery. Simply a luxury.
