Where to buy

Also, men had to wait one more year to see the male counterpart to this juice appear. If the first version of L’Instant was meant to be wildly feminine, it seems that L’Instant pour Homme chose instead to push masculinity to its extreme.

Guerlain intensifies its virility

L’Instant pour Homme is meant to be the extreme opposite of its predecessor. It thus embodies the perfect masculine alter ego of L’Instant by Guerlain, revealing itself as decisive, determined, virile and willful. Nevertheless, let us not forget that the L’Instant collection also aims to pay tribute to unforgettable moments in life. Thus, L’Instant pour Homme does indeed possess a share of sensitivity. It is a bit like a kind of tough guy with a tender, throbbing heart beneath its shell. A conquering fragrance, L’Instant pour Homme delivers a story similar to that of an encounter between a man and a woman. It is the fragrance of the one who dares, who takes the initiative and sets out to conquer the object of his affection, as if to transform a fleeting moment into a memory engraved forever in the mind. L’Instant pour Homme thus becomes as gentle as a caress, as intense as a first kiss. It creates a thrill right on the skin from its very first breath, inviting the man who wears it to live intensely and to be bold.

L’Instant pour Homme, a woody and sensual love at first sight

L’Instant pour Homme is an essence that is both biting and comforting. It draws its vivacity from a blend of citrus, and more specifically lemon and bergamot. Star anise, in turn, reinforces this quivering momentum with a spicier warmth. Likewise, pepper and elemi play on this contrast. Indeed, pepper is considered a warm essence while elemi, in turn, is a much cooler ingredient. The whole then evolves toward more softness, taking on the elegance of jasmine. This tenderness intensifies still further, gradually enveloping itself in creamy sandalwood. L’Instant pour Homme finally ends in a true caress based on hibiscus seeds, patchouli and cocoa bean. The whole becomes absolutely sensual and irresistible. Originally, L’Instant pour Homme by Guerlain was presented in a glass bottle cut like a sculpture, concealing numerous epicurean details. However, it was transformed in 2016. L’Instant pour Homme is now delivered in Guerlain’s emblematic rectangular bottle, presented for the occasion in brown tones that are both woody and masculine.
