    What do reviewers say about C'est La Vie and L'Air du Temps?

    Some will catch the aldehydes and think vintage cosmetics. Others will wait and find something luminous instead. The carnation keeps the florals honest, warm and spicy rather than delicate.C'est La Vie
    Postwar Paris in a bottle, aldehydic sparkle giving way to spiced carnation and powdery warmth. Either the opening pulls you into its vintage embrace or you wait for the roses to arrive.L'Air du Temps
