The review
On paper, French Antique For Men is an outside bet if you want L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
It is $122 per 100ml.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on star anise, citruses and elemi, turns to tea, jasmine and neroli, and settles into cacao, patchouli and sandalwood. That is the brief French Antique For Men is working from.
Top

Base

- sandalwood
Star anise and tea drifting into dry cacao and patchouli; understated, adult, quietly magnetic.
