L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme on STRAWBERRYNET.com

Thread Starter 
Hello ALL this is my first post here on Basenotes. Long time reader first time poster.

I would like to purchase L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme after trying the EDT.

I contacted Strawberrynet and tried to see if they still offer it and they gave me the run-around. After another message they told me they update out of stock products every 2-3 weeks.

So my question is, when was the last time you purchased it from Strawberrynet.

I want to know if it is still available there from time to time.

If no one has recently purchased it, where would I be able to buy it.

You may want to call or email Guerlain and see if they can refer you to a retailer that stocks it. I have read on Basenotes that the Guerlain Vegas Boutique carries it. You may be able to order it over the phone and have it shipped.

I have called the vegas boutique a while back and the rep. told me that it is an exclusive product for France so that is why I inquire about strawberrynet.

Yeah, I was in Vegas 2 weeks ago and asked about L'instant extreme and Jorganne, the Manager, said that they don't carry it in their boutiques in the US. Sad, because I really want to give it a try, it sounds quite intriguing. I can't believe so many people have tried and own this because you can't find it anywhere, I guess there has been a lot of blind buying and it's paid off. I've checked on Strawberry.net for the past 2 weeks and still nothing. Good luck!

Thanks for the update, hopefully within the week then. Just wondering could you maybe private message me if you see it on strawberrynet.com and I will do the same!



Anyone else recently purchase it?

I purchased it off StrawberryNet like a week or two ago, it doesn't last very long, it sells out VERY quick.

I didn't even have an account to post on here but I registered just to help you out lol.

I got two, I dont think there's a limit but I could be wrong, The shipping was like 4-5 days. You gotta check routinely since it sells pretty fast, some have said that it has sold out in as quick as 20 minutes before.

I dunno when they updated but I think I was up sometime around 5 AM (EST) and I saw it. Copped it, went to sleep, woke up the next day and it was sold out.

See prior threads on here, I think one with posts by batchu, which mention buying direct from a company in UK.

I remember seeing a post with a UK retailer dont know if it's the same one you're talking about but the UK retailer in one of the threads I saw didn't ship to the states.

Quick Question for those who own L'Instant Extreme and other EDPs, do EDP's "expire" quicker than EDTs ?? How long is a EDP usually good for ??

Also how long does did your 2.5 oz bottle last you ?? ( relative to your usage of course)

LOL thanks I have seen all these before but the reason I did not purchase is because Beauty enhancement seems shady and I never heard of escentual.

They are both established companies in the UK. They are already openly ripping you off selling the real thing, why would they do anything shady?

Escentual does not ship outside of Europe and amazon is a ripoff

I was about to add that escentual was one of those UK companies that doesn't ship L'instant Extreme specifically to the U.S.

and yea, you'll spend $40 to $60 more than retail if you buy on Amazon.

It was $65 on amazon until they saw people going crazy about it on this site. It went up $40 overnight.

Haha smart of them to do. I guess I will stick to strawberry so I can purchase 2 bottles.

That way I won't have to go through this problem again for a while.

And just because the price is high does mean that they are not cheating you.

I did not know they were established but if someone is going to rob you why not take the person for a lot?

I purchased mine from Strawberrynet about a year and a half ago. It was the only place online I could find that actually stocked the product and shipped to US. I think they may be your only bet, so you will have to keep checking back every day until it finally pops up. Thank God I still have a full bottle!

As an alternative, you may be able to find a fellow Basenoter in Europe who would be willing to purchase one and ship it to you for a fee...

If you are located in the U.S. Strawberry.net is just about your only choice. If you want to overpay you can get it from Amazon or Ebay. I saw it on BeautyEncounter once but it's been out of stock. It took me 3 weeks constantly checking Strawberry.net and I finally managed to grab a bottle. To me it was worth all the hassle.
