I have always taken the the EdP strength of a certain fragrance to be a fuller and richer version of the EdT version of that fragrance, despite the differences people usualy talk about.
L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme is quite contrary to my naive belief. This IS a different scent.
It begins with less sweetness than the one we know tends to have, and makes a very strong presence. Somehow, I remember Heritage! It's the L'Instant we know but in a different orchestration all together. I smell dark chocolate, watermelon, cinnamon and a very generous measure of patchouly. On impact, its citrus is also different--to my nose, it's fused with a hint of vetiver. The middle notes carry the scent to another world. Think Prada sans the sweetness. It has that bitter/sweet aura of Heritage, too. The drydown takes the perfume back right where it started, but this time with more patchouly and a stronger hint of hazlenut chocolate.
