L'Instant Magic

L’Instant Magic, so that the dream becomes reality. Guerlain was founded in 1928 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain. At first, this vinegar-maker-turned-perfumer sold sapoceti (whale-fat soap scented with natural essences), as well as eaux de toilette and skincare creams. Today, Guerlain is known worldwide. The house has established its style of elegance and luxury. Since its creation, Guerlain has imagined more than 300 perfumes.

Where to buy

After L’Instant, Guerlain presents L’Instant Magic, a unique perfume where one can almost touch the stars. In an enchanting sillage, Guerlain has us live a particularly beautiful moment, a magical instant.

The floral and musky notes of L’Instant Magic

L’Instant Magic reveals a unique moment, where time suspends its flight… A magical instant. This composition opens with the sparkling notes of bergamot. Then, the freshness of rose and freesia makes its entrance. In another sillage, white musks bring their sensuality. Here, the musks are worked into a “musquinade,” a small nod to the famous “guerlinade,” that bold overdose of very beautiful ingredients that is the signature of Guerlain's perfumes. Finally, the base is charged with cedarwood, sandalwood and almond, which warms the whole composition… There are moments as fleeting as a comet, as intense as a fragrance whose sillage one cannot forget. One of these moments makes us want to rise higher and higher, as in a dream, to reach for the stars. Guerlain

The majestic bottle of L’Instant Magic

An exceptional fragrance calls for an exceptional bottle… A jewel bottle, like all of the house's creations, one that fits in the palm of the hand. The bottle is made of thick transparent glass. It plays on the contrast between intense black and luminous pink. The base is composed of a lacquered black gradient, echoed on top of the cap. At the neck, black trimming further emphasizes the pink of the juice. Guerlain's emblematic logo adorns the cap. The house's perfumes are always in pursuit of perfection and absolute beauty, in the image of its creations. If the compositions are inimitable, the bottles are even more so. Guerlain makes it a point of honor to create bottles as precious as jewels. It is responsible for some of the most wonderful bottles in niche perfumery, such as Shalimar, L'Heure Bleue, Vol de Nuit, or La Petite Robe Noire.

Known worldwide for its extraordinary perfumes, the house of Guerlain presents the enchanting world of L’Instant Magic. Fresh and soft as cotton, L’Instant Magic takes one into a world where anything is possible. It is not only the fragrances that are magical, as the bottles are true showcases of beauty, as is the case here for L’Instant Magic. Romance, beauty and lightness are now within reach of Guerlain women.

Olfastory’s review

With poetry and emotion, the house of Guerlain has been creating perfumes since 1828. At its helm, several generations of passionate perfumers have succeeded one another, all sharing the same desire to carry on an immense expertise. Thus, each of Guerlain's perfumes brings forth an almost magical feeling in the imagination. Guerlain's fragrances are as many suspended moments renewed each day through wearing them. This is precisely what is evoked with the women's perfume L'Instant Magic from 2007. Signed by perfumer Randa Hammami, it is an enchanted interlude, as floral as it is powdery. Here is our review of this feminine scent.
