A rich floral talc version of L’INSTANT.
Devoid of the bright red apple note that’s present in the EDP, this is far more powdery and it smells incredibly retro/vintage. It doesn’t focus on the creamy, honeyed, resinous vanilla in the same way as the EDP and it has more iris, with a violet tinge, on a salty musk/wood base. I see the honey in the notes above but honestly I don’t really smell the particular note I’ve construed to be the honey in the original here.
Very plush, sweet and powdery, with a smooth and warm character. Beautiful, but my heart will always belong to the EDP – which feels more modern.
I am writing here of my “old” parfum extrait which appears to have changed slightly with time due to some leakage and evaporation causing the magnolia and citrus to have dissipated some, becoming less apparent.

The only scent that I wear to bed. Put a drop of it on my wrist and I feel like I sleep better with this scent.
I don’t want to divide this perfume into notes. It just smells good. Beautiful, powdery. In the morning when I wake up the scent is still there.
Cons? It’s extremely pricey! So I use it very rarely.
It smells different from the EDP and EDT versions.

I bought this little gem and I don’t know how to open it. All I’ve managed to do is scratch some of the lettering off trying to twist the top. Help!

I like L’Instant de Guerlain very much, I prefer a EDP version though. They are very similar, a parfum version is denser and a bit sweeter, but also richer. The first classic edp version has a distinct apple mousse nuance.
