What do reviewers say about Eau Fraiche and L'Air du Temps?
Eau Fraiche doesn't try to own a room. It belongs to the person who doesn't need the room to notice. A green-floral warmth that sits close, lasts long, and asks nothing of you.Eau Fraiche
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
