The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

L'Instant de Guerlain Eau de Noel Iris Millesime, launched in 2005, captures the essence of a luxurious holiday season. The fragrance opens with bright yellow florals and honeyed sweetness, creating an inviting warmth reminiscent of cozy interiors and richly scented air. As it settles into its base notes of powdery iris and woody amber, it transforms into a comforting embrace, perfect for those intimate moments shared during the festive season.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points; the honeyed top notes will bloom quickly but dissipate within an hour. The deeper iris and woody base notes take over, providing a rich warmth that lasts through the evening.
