I have both, the EDT and the EDP versions in the previous bottle (which I prefer over the current more generic one) and, while liking the EDP, but for me the masterpiece is the EDT, I just love it and is one of my favourites ever. In fact it can be used as a signature scent thanks to its versatility so that you can wear it all year round: fresh yet warm (something in between), sophisticated yet some old school background feeling (something in between), all purpose yet classy and elegant (something in between)... In my opinion it's so difficult to get such a superb and equilibrated blend that, besides, stays right in the middle of everything (it simply shines in all occasions and weather seasons), that's precisely why this one is so versatile and a true masterpiece. By the way, many designer houses also use the best perfumers to create their fragrances, so don't underestimate them (I have wonderful fragrances from designer houses). It's like underestimating a Piaget or a Cartier watch because they are jewelry houses, or a Greubel Forsey or an F.P. Journe watch because they are "new" brands without a history behind like Patek Philippe, Breguet, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Jaeger leCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Ulysse Nardin, Girard Perregaux... yet those former watches are hand made in Switzerland by the most reputed watch makers in the world.

I'm also in my mid forties, and the older I get, the more I keep coming back to Guerlain. The pinnacle of what perfumery and fragrance is in my opinion.

Honest, genuine and great video again, Chris! You are on a roll buddy! Request: Are you willing to make a top 10 list of Guerlain only (like your early ode to Versace)? I know you are not a fan to do top x lists, but please! I own and am crazy about my L'instant en Vertiver Extreme, but I am very curious about your (as I can imagine alot of other people) thoughts and description of the other "king" fragrances like: Vetiver(origional), Guerlain Homme, Habit Rouge, Héritage, Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat, Aqua Allegoria Limon Verde and maybe the "new" Ideal line to name a few :) Keep it up brother, you are amazing! BTW: Why do you have a Vetiver cap on the L'instant bottle? :)
@scentland47536 жыл бұрын
Well spotted!! The cap is from a Vetiver Extreme bottle. I wont make that top 10 since it simply wouldnt be genuine as I am missing to many out of the vast number of fragrances they have. Impossible to cover
