What do reviewers say about L'Air du Temps and Volupté?
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
Powdery florals with a fruity punch that cuts clean. Not a quiet fragrance, it's got opinions. But the sillage stays intimate, never filling the room, just present enough.Volupté
