The violet-and-almond opening hits like a memory of Parma Violet sweets, except now you're an adult who knows what she wants. Powdery without being retiring. Sweet without losing the thread.My Queen Deluxe Edition
Maurice Roucel built L'Instant de Guerlain around magnolia as the spine, and it works. The floral heart is substantial but never heavy, and the honey-vanilla base gives it enough warmth to wear.L'Instant de Guerlain
