Hard to find. The formula is somewhat identical to that of the Edt's, yet the Ambrettsamen/Sandalwood presence is increased in here and finally exudes a richer, softer, dirtier and warmer aroma, a kind of really sexy and uncontroversial (while the Eau de Toilette formula emphasizes the presence of rosewood and aromatics that - running through spices and dark roses - wander to a finally oriental/wooden base). The soil quality and longevity are finally stronger. This fragrance is at the same time super stylish and dirty in a rather erotic musk amber style

A really complex smell that I don't really like. It is based on this popular blend of rose, patchouli and sandalwood, but the patchouli is intense green, to the point where it is perceived as medicinal and a little rotten. Meanwhile it is very mineral and dry, almost dusty, as if someone had sprayed a rose fragrance on a large, wet, moldy rock. But then it is also somehow plastic or waxy, like paint fumes or even a hint of bleach.

In a way, I enjoy his sexy hip-hop gothic steampunk madness, unnecessarily dark and complex, but still hot, like one of those music videos in which a hot woman sings naked in an antique bathtub full of milk. As such, I appreciate it for its artistic statement, but I still feel that its sexy madness collides with my personality, so I don't really like it.

L'Instant is a solid oriental fragrance that starts well. The best thing is to like the base note, which unfortunately appears very quickly. It seems to lose all its notes quite quickly, with the exception of that very base, and what distinguishes it from other oriental scents is the cocoa pod. It gives it an almost sensual quality, since the cocoa pod has a scent similar to baker's chocolate. The sweetness of L'Instant comes from the sandalwood, while the cocoa pod has a very dry, chocolaty feel. When I first became aware of cocoa, it was very similar to iris for me, and although they do not have the same note profiles, there are some slight similarities between this and Dior Homme (2005). It's a very nice fragrance, but it runs out too fast which is my main problem at the same time.

This fragrance reminds me of this when you take John Varvatos' (2004) John Varvatos, a complex, much-described John Varvatos, and mix it in a cocktail shaker with "aquatic" notes. It has the light opening of your standard aquatic animals, but this fig note - which reminds me of the Medjool date note by John Varvatos - gives it a thick, sweet undercurrent. With a heavy, woody frankincense sweetness on one side and light aquatic notes on the other, the fragrance doesn't mix so much because it feels like two different fragrances are layered on top of each other. It's not bad, but it smells a little outdated.

Pleasant fragrance especially for the warm season, very reminiscent of Invictus. However, there seems to be a quality problem with the flacons in the spray head area. My bottle always loses a little liquid when I use it
