What do reviewers say about L'Air du Temps and Jontue?
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
Jontue is for someone who remembers what green actually means. Not the synthetic freshies that flooded the market in the '90s and 2000s. This has weight. It has earth.Jontue
