L' Instant de Guerlain pour Homme highlights a unique moment: the one in which a man takes the initiative and after which everything will be different. This paradoxical fragrance skates between fire & ice, flamboyant virility & discreet femininity. The luminous freshness of citrus crystals & star anise, embellished by floral notes, contrasts with the warmth of patchouli, hibiscus seeds & cocoa to offer, through this luminous woody scent, a unique moment after which everything will be different. With L' Instant de Guerlain pour Homme, the Guerlain Perfumer takes a first step towards freshness in 2004, showcasing a hot & cold olfactory contrast. The fresh top notes are inspired by an ambery aniseed drink called arak. The base notes feature the gourmand notes of the dessert by a famous pastry-maker, worked around chocolate & patchouli. This woody, sparkling, seductive fragrance was composed of contrasts. It is nothing less than surprising. The bottle: Square, facetted, & refined. Drawing its elegant lines from a Guerlain's heritage model. A heavy, matte cap which borrows its guilloché detailing from the world of watchmaking.
