L'instant Perfume by Guerlain, Indulge your senses in the opening red apple, mandarin, and bergamot notes of L'instant. The floral essence of the perfume emerges at its heart with notes of iris, jasmine, and Chinese magnolia blossom. The scent closes delicately with warm and sweet notes of vanilla, amber, musk, and white honey. The French company has sustained 175 years of passion within the perfumery trade and has become a legend in the realm of fragrances. Rare and luxurious materials grown on private plantations in the Comoro Islands have always been used in the company’s products and serve as a testament to their quality. The perfume house was a family-operated business until it was acquired by Luis Vuitton Moët Hennessy in 1994, and the family’s legacy ended with the retirement of Jean-Paul Guerlain in 2002. This scent was released in 2003 with Maurice Roucel as the perfumer. A companion scent for men was released the following year.
