What do reviewers say about L'Air du Temps and Charlie?
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
This is a projection fragrance. It announces itself and it lingers. If you've ever walked into a 1970s office and couldn't miss which floor the women worked on, that's Charlie.Charlie
