derby vintage - awesome. you can just tell the ingredients are top notch for the first whiff. might be a tad formal/old man'ish for me. not sure. very nice leather and woodsy notes. again i can't get over how the ingredients smell of such top quality.
l'instant extreme - come to daddy. i love this. gourmand but not like other gourmands. the ingredients smell so fresh (as in freshly cultivated) that it feels like the perfumer had just made the fragrance a few minutes before i tried it on. this satisfies my shortcomings with Guelain's Coquin, which is an amazing chocolate fragrance but that i can't think of wearing because i don't want to smell like a chocolate bar. l'instant is more complex and masculine. i have to buy this.
since i can't find l'instant extreme anywhere, does anyone know if l'instant is roughly the same?
also, Miller Harris Cuir d'Oranger arrived today. i sprayed it on after washing off derby but i think there was too much of derby's scent remaining on my skin to fairly judge it. but what struck me immediately upon trying on Cuir d'Oranger is how its ingredients (and now many of my own fragrances' ingredients) pale in compariosn to Guerlain's. CdO definitely has peppery and orange notes tho.
