Hey Tim, great review! Love the mojto accord in this one. Guerlain has a flanker of this called Guerlain Homme L'eau. It would be great to get a review of this! You'd be the first ever to do a video review on it.
I liked this one. The opening for me was citrusy limes and crushed mint leaves with a mild floral accord. Very nice opening. It dries down to a vetiver, but still sustains the lime note. The sillage crept closer to the skin after 3-4 hours. Longevity is great - about 10 hours - but it was very close to the skin. I'm considering buying this fragrance. Oh, and I would really like to see a review on Guerlain L'Instant. Great review Tim! And as always, keep doing what you're doing! 5 starred!
A cured leaf note rises up to create a smoke screen over citrus, softening its bright shimmer. Caramelized undercurrent undulates out of the shiny layers, creating a vision of slowly ossifying petals. A note bridging a gap between a flower and a woody stem lends an appealing indeterminacy to the composition, teasing one into thinking that the accord is about to become more floral and lacy. Instead, a dark rose turns into rosewood embellished by bittersweet smokiness and delicate sweetness.
Gentle earthy patchouli laced with musky ambrette seed is completed by citrusy freshness, which pcomplement the rest of the composition well, giving a layer of translucent glow to the bitter caramelized notes. Like a well aged whiskey, LInstant Pour Homme has a beautiful prolonged drydown, containing a trace of the initial exciting burst.
Just leaving a comment, this fragrance was personally not my type of fragrance. I've tried 3 guerlain (le instant, vetiver, and homme) and I felt the homme was not of the quality i felt in the other 2 fragrances. I particularly liked le instant. Was not fond of the pepperiness of the vetiver and prefer the original vetiver style found in the creed.

This scent is indeed subtle, if you go on guerlain website they have a fragrance secret regarding this scent which makes it last all day

You're right about the lime being nice to see in fragrances instead of lemon. You should smell it in one of the new ones you just got...Varvatos!

L`Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme - created by Béatrice Piquet in 2004
SireKris 2 years ago
Created by Béatrice Piquet in 2004, it features notes of jasmine, citrus, star anise, hibiscus, patchouli, sandalwood, lapsang tea and cacao bean.
It was awarded in france the same year in 2004 for the best mens fragrance.
The first rush of bitter citrus is underscored by spicy fresh leaves and sweet chill of anise.

I love that bottle. The only thing is, I worry about them adding an extra $10-15 to what it should actually cost because of it.
