The science behind the Instant Magic Perfume.

Introducing the Instant Magic Perfume - the latest breakthrough in the world of fragrance. This innovative product is designed to instantly uplift your mood and make you feel refreshed and invigorated. The Instant Magic Perfume is a compact and convenient fragrance dispenser that can be easily carried in your bag or pocket. With just a quick spray, it releases a burst of enchanting scent that will transport you to a magical world. The secret behind the Instant Magic Perfume lies in its unique blend of high-quality ingredients. Each fragrance is carefully crafted using a combination of rare and exotic essences.

Designed by Raymond Guerlain, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.

It clings well to my pillow and sheets and feels like an olfactory hybrid of high tech customizable sleep surface mattress and old fashioned feather bed. I know some people actually wear this kind of thing in the daytime, and picture them dressing like Kimmie Roberts Lucy in Twin Peaks, with her deranged cardigans and big floof of blonde hair.

Each fragrance is carefully crafted using a combination of rare and exotic essences. These essences are expertly chosen to create a scent that is both alluring and long-lasting. Not only does the Instant Magic Perfume smell amazing, but it also has a range of other benefits.

L'Instant Magic
Guerlain (2007)

I was about to write a “meh” review about L'Instant Magic when I realized that my bottle is damn near empty, so I guess I like it more than I think I do. Or, I should say, I find it useful. Guerlain has always excelled at what the French like to call “boudoir perfumes,” Shalimar being the Queen Mum of the clan, and LIM shows her grandmother's DNA, not so much in its accords as in its obvious intention.

Vintage boudoir perfumes were, I think, supposed to smell suggestive of sexual fluids and such, but since we as a culture are all about clean linen and all these crazy new vaginal wash products these days, I guess LIM is what we're intended to wear while we rumple our eleventymillion thread count sheets and artfully muss our hair. I don't wear it for that particular purpose–it's basically fluffy neroli-almonds-heliotrope-benzoin inflected baby powder, so not really what gives me a stiffy–but it sometimes coincides with such activities, as I like to wear it to bed, because it is a comfort perfume with childhood bedtime associations.

I am a grade A insomniac who has a highly ritualized bedtime routine that I have been refining for decades, one crucial element of which is this type of scent, which is why I own so many: Teint de Neige, Sweet Dreams, Musc Intense, Mona di Orio's Musc and also her Vanille–anything with girly girl billows of powder will do. (Variety is also key, as one insomnia episode requires changing the bedtime perfume for a while, because I'll start associating not sleeping with whatever I wore on a bad night). I know some people actually wear this kind of thing in the daytime, and picture them dressing like Kimmie Roberts/Lucy in Twin Peaks, with her deranged cardigans and big floof of blonde hair. No offense if this is your daytime jam. At least you're scenting.

But LIM is mostly utilitarian for me, strange as that may sound. Because I have a lot of similar fragrances to compare it with, I'll reiterate that it has an unusual amount of orange/neroli for a powdery floral musc, and I can smell the genetic connection to Guerlain's original L'Instant, a sexy Orangesicle with a hint of suntanned skin (go for the EDT or the parfum). For some reason, it also reminds me
of Tauer's Orange Star, a perfume that I believe may now be discontinued, perhaps because Andy T and I were the only people that loved it. I wish I'd gotten a bottle when I could have.

Guerlain excels at this kind of perfume. Opulent comfort is kind of their wheelhouse, so if you are looking for a delicious nighttime (as in PJs and fuzzy slippers, not skimpy undies and stockings), I can enthusiastically recommend it. It is a nice break from the usual rose-violet accords that usually make up
these scents, and it works like a charm. Hell, i'm falling asleep just writing this, so please excuse any typos.

I have to admit that I initially expected more from LIM, as it was one of those legendary discontinued Guerlains that I thought I would never get to smell. Huzzah to the house for bringing it back. I suspect this is the kind of thing that Sylvie Delacourte is trying to do with her Musc series, as she art directed this year while at Guerlain, and that brings me to my final point. The difference in quality between her muscs and this one is staggering. Even at its least intellectually challenging and likely most artificially concocted, Guerlain's materials are superlative. If you must have quasi infantile powder, or just want to round our your L'Instant or Guerlain collection, this one is worth it. It also makes a great linen-pillow/closet freshener–not obnoxiously functional, but not recognizably “perfumery.”

If I spray on LIM at bedtime, it is still very much with me in the morning, so it is consistent with the kind of excellent staying power Guerlain is known for–feathery little things (aside from some of their eaux) are not what this house is about. It clings well to my pillow and sheets and feels like an olfactory hybrid of high tech customizable sleep surface mattress and old fashioned feather bed. Simple, direct, but very nice work for what it is. Four softly glowing ceiling lamp stars, and two peachy-pink thumbs up (with Maribou sleeves, natch). Zzzzzzzzzz .

Piercing, juicy, citrusy bergamot. Darkish rose & freesia quickly move in. Slight bitterness underneath.
The bitter tinge doesn't last long. This scent becomes almost piercingly sweet, just that "fast". Rose dances. Sweet almond, almost like marzipan shows up then. It zips up from the base tier with musks following close behind.
The almond becomes even stronger in time, with a bit of some fresh-cut wood aromas intermingled. The almond is intriguing and it holds my interest for a few hours.

Floral / almond / baby powder accord, much later. I enjoy this one!

Magic mostly smells like benzoin baby powder with a touch of floral almond heliotrope and signature Guerlain greens on top, ending up more amber as vanilla and sandalwood join the powdery benzoin later.

I don't think it's possible to review L'Instant Magic without reviewing Guerlain's entire history and how it fits in.

I can see how vintage Guerlain enthusiasts would find this simplistic compared to the baroque masterpieces so beloved in their catalog, but this is also gorgeously put together with just enough nods to Guerlain's historical grandeur that it's better by leaps and bounds than the cherry marshmallow fluff they've been focused on in the 10 or so years since this came out.

I don't want to artificially down-vote Magic just because it's no Mitsouko, but also don't want to artificially up-vote it just for being better than Mon Guerlain. In the end, I'm voting thumbs up, because I do really like how this is put together. It exists at a point midway between super-powdery barbershop ambers like Caswell Massey's Tricorn and the modern niche nutty richness of Tom Ford's Fucking Fabulous, a mid-point that I find quite delightful.

At first I didn't care for it then a wore a sweater I had sprayed it on a week later and I thought “ What is this?” I figured out it was the sample my SA had sent with my 2018 Muguet purchase so I tried it again. I loved it. Especially the base. I am usually a Parfum/ Extrait snob in Guerlain because I the initial spray of EDP is often off putting. So I bought the Parfum in this an fell in love. Now I purchase from an EBay seller every tester of Parfum he has. We can't get the Parfum in the US. I wear this one at least once a week. It is a no frills powder with a touch of Almond and earthy wood that lasts forever clothing and in hair. Definitely a female scent.
The base notes are worth the wait❤️

On my skin this is a bergamot-almond scent straight from the beginning, with the focus being on the almond. A pleasant almond, unidimensional and straight without any facets or change over time.

In the drydown a white musky impression is added, which blends in quite nicely with the rest but stays in the background.

I get moderate sillage, good projection and an excellent eleven hours of longevity on my skin.

This is quite a pleasant scent for warmer autumn days, whose strong point consists of the very good performance. Its drawback is the somewhat synthetic nature of the notes, as well as the fact that apart form the almond the rest is ultra-generic. 2.75/5

Banal and uselessPale powdery unoriginal mediocrity at its best.Pros: AnyCons: Boring synthetic fruity/floral almondy powder."

Reviews for "Fall in love with the Instant Magic Perfume: a captivating scent experience."

1. John - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Instant Magic Perfume. The fragrance was overpowering and gave me a headache every time I wore it. It also didn't last very long on my skin, so I had to constantly reapply it throughout the day. The scent itself was quite generic and nothing unique or special. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this perfume to anyone looking for a long-lasting and pleasant fragrance.

2. Emily - 2 stars - I had high expectations for Instant Magic Perfume, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to them. The scent was too powdery and reminded me of my grandmother's perfumes from decades ago. It felt outdated and not suitable for a modern woman. Additionally, the fragrance didn't last more than a couple of hours on my skin, which was disappointing considering the price. I wouldn't purchase this perfume again.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was hoping that Instant Magic Perfume would be a luxurious and captivating fragrance, but it fell short. The scent was too strong and overwhelming, bordering on unpleasant. I also found that it didn't blend well with my body chemistry, which made it smell even worse on me. The packaging and marketing of the perfume are beautiful, but the actual product didn't deliver. I regret purchasing this perfume and would advise others to try it before buying.

4. Mark - 1 star - Instant Magic Perfume was a complete letdown for me. The scent was extremely artificial and gave me a headache every time I wore it. It smelled like a cheap knockoff of a high-end perfume, definitely not worth the price tag. Furthermore, the fragrance didn't last more than an hour on my skin, making it a waste of money. I would highly recommend avoiding this perfume and opting for something of better quality.
