When was L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain released?

So…. Here’s a modern classic which I don’t think I’ve gotten around to reviewing yet? I just want to say that complexity wise and my appreciation for perfumery wise, this is a a triumphant piece of work. Simultaneously lots of conflicting things at once, incredible, fruity, floral top notes and heart which give a kind of pinky/purple impression, of something like Iris, but not. I find it highly resinous but in a translucent, lump of jellied confection, type of a way. I get this from Reve D’Osian but that’s an incense perfume so COMPLETELY different but texturally, same ballpark. This is the problem I have with it, it’s kinda weird. How can it then be powdery too? Gelatinous and powdery? There’s a creaminess to the musks in this as well and I see Roucel is at the Helm….makes perfect sense. This is one of those perfumes I accept as brilliant, I would say is ‘Too femme’ yet some might argue I’d wear far more feminine stuff and not bat a massively extended, false, mascara caked, lash at!!! This perfume is just not for me. I just have no personal interest or connection to it, and that’s fine.
