What do reviewers say about L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT and Prince 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 composition stays composed throughout its wear. Moderate sillage, substantial longevity. Cardamom and black pepper anchor the opening, cedar and geranium provide structure through the middle.Prince Noir
