L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme

[amw9490]

How long does this last and project on you? It's not as strong as I thought it would be but I absolutely love this fragrance.

[Nersh]

8 to 10 good hours.

[hednic]

All day on my skin.

[RedRaider430]

Should last much of the day. LIDGE is not one you should have to worry about reapplying.

[amw9490]

I think I have to give my nose a break.

[dreamer81]

8 plus hours but sillage is just average and I like it that way.

[alexwagner]

Projection is adequate but the scent cloud around you is thick and heavy. I don't get olfactory fatigue from LIDGE and I get wafts of the cloud for many hours.

[Jack Hunter]

I get very good projection from two sprays and it lasts twelve hours on my skin. Great frag!

[Slayerized]

This for me as well!

[senore01]

I get decent projection and silage from LIDGE, and I tend to have dry skin. I get about 7-8 hours

[NewHaarlem]

It lasts at least 8 hours on my skin, doing far sprays (about a foot away).

[Pegasus]

8 to 10 good hours.

Same here.

[teemas]

Good projection for about 4 hours and then stay close to the skin for the next 6 hours. A total of 10 hours

[The Smelly Scientist]

Seems to be a skin scent for me, and I get about 6 hours out of it. Jealous of the people getting 8+ :P

[mlsweeney]

A good 8 hours for me. One thing I hear all the time is the projection stays within 3 feet of you. I have to disagree with this. This is easily my most projected scent in my small collection. And I own Joop! Homme and 1 Million if that tells you anything. I really think you just have fatigue. Give it a few more applications and avoid spraying near your face (this includes your neck) and you won't get that fatigue.

When I say avoid the neck, I'm just saying don't spray it to where the spray could accidentally enter your nose and ruin your olfactory senses.

Same.

[Spoombung]

Sorry, but there are some CRAZY claims about it's longevity here, IMO.

On me (or my clothes) 2 hours maximum. No one I know - either my family or friends - can smell it after that time.

How close do you spray it towards your skin?

[NewHaarlem]

You don't want to spray this on your clothing... unless you want to smell like an anise bomb.

[Nexus6]

It lasts for 14 to 18 hours on me, possibly even more.
I have been complimented on it 6 hours after application so it must project well.

Same here 2-3 hours (and I speay lots lol)

[bigknows]

Are they going to make this again? Where is everybody getting theirs from?

Your best shot is eBay but they are slightly overpriced. The hype was too intriguing so I got one for $110.00. I don't regret the purchase though.

[comfortablynumbbg]

IDK projects good for several hours, and lasts easily a work day....In other words it gets the job done

[del]

I only have a sample of this, and it has a strong opening, so I also recommend not spraying close to ther nose. I guess I need to re-study it again because its longevity on my skin is average -- about 5 hours. The regular L'Instant lasts all day on me.

[perfaddict]

12+ hours. Location: humid tropics.

[senore01]

Extraordinary projection/moderate sillage. Overall an excellent fragrance. A must have. Learn to appreciate this masterpiece.

[Ken_Russell]

Way above average, then again, I hardly ever go easy on the trigger with scents, even with comparatively strong ones like this one.

[paradigm]

+1. Lasts an eternity.

[cameron]

all day. it is thick as said previously by someone so i only do 1-2 sprays
