What do reviewers say about L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT and Collection Homme/Fruit de Bois?
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
This one doesn't try to impress you. The grapefruit is honest, bright without being aggressive. The woody base is warm without showing off, built on vetiver and cedar that give it real staying power.Collection Homme/Fruit de Bois
