L’Instant De Guerlain

L’Instant de Guerlain, a Warm Floral Amber

Guerlain L’Instant de Guerlain is a warm floral amber. Our version keeps that feel, opening with mandarin and bergamot before a magnolia and ylang-ylang heart settles over amber and vanilla.

The Story Behind the Scent

Guerlain built L’Instant as a warm, honeyed scent, all soft magnolia and creamy ylang over glowing amber and vanilla. The idea was a refined, sensual femininity.

That warm softness is its appeal. The mandarin and bergamot keep it bright, the magnolia and ylang add a soft floral heart, and the amber and vanilla give it a warm, creamy base. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
