    Real talk

    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
    Warm amber, vanilla, and a pulse of clove. The kind of sweetness that flirts without trying. This fragrance moves from playful opening notes into something more intimate.BCBGirls Sexy
