THE FIRST SPICY FLORAL FRAGRANCE
As the very first spicy-floral fragrance in the history of perfume, this timeless scent has become a veritable olfactive icon.
Its sophisticated spring accord, as sumptuous and intense as armfuls of roses, is laced with the clove notes of pink carnation and the warmth of sandalwood.
“I imagined the perfume I would like to smell on the shoulders of the woman I love... a floral, spicy fragrance." Francis Fabron, perfumer
The luscious bouquet of L’Air de Temps opens with a carnation and gardenia accord laced with fiery accents, giving the scent its distinctive personality. The rich, noble heart reveals delicate rose notes and sophisticated jasmine for a burst of blossoming opulence. A warm blend of creamy sandalwood and orris envelops the base in a sensual caress. A unique spicy floral Eau de Toilette infused with femininity.

The pure and radiant fragrance of L'Air du Temps is encased in a bottle of flowing twists and exquisite curves.
Representing peace and love, two doves are tenderly interlaced on the stopper. It has come to symbolise optimism and new-found peace.
