I hate to spout clichés... But here goes! This fragrance was a real Jackal & Hyde on me, I went from completely hating it (and i do mean hate!) to loving it, during the course of maybe two hours. Now its reputation preceded it and I was expecting something really spectacular as I've got some other Guerlain fragrances and have heard great things about this one. As I mentioned to begin with I was pretty repulsed and overwhelmed by the strength of this juice... It is really strong maybe even stronger than Habit Rouge and that's saying something. This one also shares the Guerlain DNA if you like (just to keep to the clichés) and has a very classic, mature feel to it. When this thing dries down though it is absolutely stunning! From Cacao to floral notes, patchouly, Sandalwood and a hint of tea...it's all in there and although it starts out punishingly harsh (for me) it ends oh so well...this is another rich indulgent masterpiece from Guerlain. Ideal for making an big impression and it lasts FOREVER!!! Trust me for my skin that's really saying something. I apply juice heavily most of the time and my skin is very unforgiving but there's really no need with this one it's dynamite!! L'Instant de Guerlain will appeal to older men, fragrance heads and if given a chance, anybody who likes and has a respect for truly classic perfumery.
