CreamyWhat does L'Instant Magic (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind and summer less favoured. It suits daily wear as well as the office and evenings out, and it reads feminine and modern.
Bergamot opens it brightly, while freesia and rose set the floral heart. In the base, woods, almond and white musk settle it into a powdery, creamy, slightly sweet finish. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Plissée and Paul & Joe Blanc have a close profile.
