What do reviewers say about L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT and Spectre Ghost?
Star anise is not a shy note. It opens this fragrance like a statement, and if black pepper follows, you know this is not playing it safe. Overall effect is warm and atmospheric.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
Spectre Ghost makes vanilla feel modern. There is spiciness in the opening and warmth in the drydown, but it never becomes heavy. The performance is restrained, which is the point rather than a flaw.Spectre Ghost
