| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| This is my all time favorite fragrance and it has been since I was 16. I'm 27 now and although I've tried all kinds of fragrances from L'Artisan, to Diptyque, to Guerlain, to Chanel ,to Caron, to etc., L'Air du Temps is still my very favorite.
I don't think of it as strictly an older persons scent. It's just so easy for me to wear, this one! It's peppery carnation blended with rose, faint jasmine, and then the slightly bitter dry down to sandalwood is just (sigh) perfect for me.
Those who love the foody, fruity or trendy scents will likely be disapointed here. It does smell like the "classic" that it is. Perhaps that's why people think it smells "old". Most classics do have a little age on them don't they? :-) I often wonder why so many people think of "old" as an insult anyway! If L'Air du Temps has been around this long there must have been something done right!
If you like spicy florals, and particularly a carnation note, try it! You might love it too! If you're like me, you'll wear it and sigh. |
