What do reviewers say about Empireo and L'Air de Rien?
Powdery florals don't usually come with this much warmth. Empireo starts delicate, almost airy, then settles into vanilla and amber that feels closer to skin than room.Empireo
This is the one Jane Birkin actually reaches for every day. Not because it's beautiful in the conventional sense. Because it smells like a person, not a product.L'Air de Rien
