L'instant De Guerlain Extreme Cologne by Guerlain was released in 2005. L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme is the more powerful, intense and affluent edition of the perfume released a year earlier with the same name sans “Extreme.” At first whiff, the power of citrus surrounded by butterfly kisses of elemi and star anise impresses. As that aroma slowly dissipates, gentle tinges of playful patchouli flower, earthy Lapsang tea, honey-scented neroli and intoxicating Indian jasmine emerge, creating a captivating manly scent bursting with subtle undertones of compassion, ardor and quiet dignity. An intriguing combination of rich cocoa, calming cedar, complex patchouli, captivating sandalwood and exotic hibiscus seed comprise a warm, soothing base that captures the essence of virility and kindness that makes a man irresistible.
