What do reviewers say about L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT and Bleu Noir?
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
The name promises darkness, but Bleu Noir is actually refined. Spicy and woody without the theatrics, it works in the office. The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself.Bleu Noir
