The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Guerlain's L'Instant Magic Extract is a composition that embodies the house’s legacy of using luxurious and rare materials. This Oriental fragrance opens with bright florals that are softened by powdery and woody accords, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and warmth. The animalic nuances add depth and complexity, making it a scent that feels both classic and modern. L'Instant Magic Extract is an ode to the brand’s commitment to innovation and tradition.

How to wear it

Apply L'Instant Magic Extract to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The floral opening is bright but fades quickly, giving way to a rich, woody base that lingers throughout the day.
