L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. L'Instant de Guerlain was launched in 2003. The nose behind this fragrance is Maurice Roucel. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Red Apple and Bergamot; middle notes are Magnolia, Iris, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine; base notes are White Honey, Vanille, Amber, Benzoin and Musk. The new Guerlain perfume (2003) for the first time contains magnolia. This delicate and complicated perfume is in harmony with the citrus honey note, which can be scented from the top all the way to the bottom notes. This is a innovative perfume composition built like a \'double olfactory pyramid\'. The perfume opens with fresh citrus notes – mandarin and bergamot as one fragrant composition, while the other one gives out the shine of white flowers – magnolia, ylang-ylang, and sambac jasmine. The sensuality comes later with vanilla, benzoin, and musk, which leave magical intimate trace. Eau de Toilette has a limited version of the fragrance with iris in the centre – L’Instant Eau de Noël Iris Millésime, while the regular one has an apple-sweets nuance.
