Question:
He sings the praises of Mitsouko, and mentions its oakmoss - but it's not being made with oakmoss anymore. I suppose it was kind of him to not mention that.

Answer:
Yes, I enjoyed this article today , too. You all know of my troubled past with Mitsouko...I have just dabbed the tops of my wrists with my vintage bottle stopper of this classic. Let's see where it takes me tonight.
I do love the bottle. It is engraved on the bottle with the words Guerlain and Made in France, and has that pretty Gendarme hat stopper and the lovely art deco sticker on its face. The liquid is cognac colored, with streaks in it which I originally thought meant it turned bad, but upon reading an article about vintage perfumes, seems to be a sign that it is , well, perfume.
So far, the two light dabs on each wrist are wearing nicely. Perhaps the key is subtle application for me. Have I said this before?
Hell, maybe I WILL jump into the Guerlain week. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, say I!
a bit later and I am feeling rather sexy and smokey with this Miss Mitsouko on my wrists. She has become a dark smolder on my wrists. I have not yet determined if it is the Mitsouko or the vodka with cranberry juice in my hand - I suspect it may be a combo of both! hee hee hee

I am with Donna on this.
L'instant is not reminiscent of Guerlain style, while Insolence is. For better or worse, like it or not (I respect the fact that some do not like the smell of it, however)
And yes, I do detect an element of L'heure Bleue in Insolence; certainly not in L'instant (I don't know how he came up with this!)
