What do reviewers say about White Shoulders and L'Air du Temps?
It's aldehydic. It's powdery. It's unapologetically mid-century. If that sounds dated, it shouldn't, dated implies it went away. White Shoulders never did.White Shoulders
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
