Guerlain L'Instant. Edt on the left, EdP on the right. They're different, but I still can't say I like either. But they have such good reviews I'll persist and see if I can get something here. Right now it's nothing interesting to my nose.

^^ reminded me it's time to wear L'Instant Pour Homme. A bit dense but otherwise handsome and presentable. Not too far off the Roucel formula of fresh/spicy scents, and a tad gourmandy, but otherwise fine. I may feel differently about this one had I paid full retail, though.

Have you tried the intense? I remember smelling it way back and thinking it was a distinct improvement.

How do you like these? I've never been much of a fan of either but the Mure has its moments.

Yep, that's the EdP I was referring to. They did smell different, but somehow I didn't really get anything really specific out of either. Just a general smoothly blended mix. Like a perfect harmony of a whole orchestra playing at once instead of a song that develops. Nothing about the regular or the extreme particularly jumped out at me as being that nice.


today, Kouros Fraicheur

My first time trying L'Instant, I thought it too smooth and polished. It's still very smooth and tightly-wound, but after a while the transitions became more apparent: from green/citrus opening to anise/vetiver, to a slightly chocolately sandalwood.

Today though, Oud 27

What do you think? Just a heads up - Sephora Friends & Family starts next week. Should be 20% off fragrances. Works online and instore. Might finally pick up that bottle of AdP Intensa.
