HEART NOTES: Jasmine, Magnolia, Ylang-Ylang / BASE NOTES: Amber Chord, Sandalwood / HEAD NOTES: Bergamot, Citron Honey, Tangerine / OLFACTORY FAMILY: Woody / GENDER: Men / COLLECTION: L'Instant de Guerlain Homme / This paradoxical fragrance oscillates between fire and ice, extravagant virility and discreet femininity. The luminous freshness of citrus and star anise, embellished by floral notes, contrasts with the warmth of patchouli, hibiscus seeds and cocoa to confer, through this luminous woody aroma, a unique moment after which everything will be different. With L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme, in 2004, the Guerlain perfumer took a first step towards freshness, showing a warm and cold olfactory contrast. The fresh top notes are inspired by an oriental aniseed drink called arak. The bottom notes feature the gourmand notes of a famous pastry chef's dessert, worked around chocolate and patchouli.
