I know it when I SMELL it.
How's THIS? 'a classic fragrance that blends rich floral tones of gardenia and jasmine with hints of sandalwood and iris?' 
Was a favorite of mine, from Nina Ricci, Introduced in 1948, L'Air Du Temps.
How's THIS, for the same perfume? 'underpinnings are soapy musk thickened with moss, amber and sandalwood.'
P.S. There's something in the air....
L'air du Temps is a French phrase with a second meaning which is difficult to translate, but means something like what is currently being talked about.
Listen to THIS!!! L'air du Temps was introduced sixty years ago to commemorate the end of World War II and a return to elegance and fashion.
L'air du Temps is a French phrase with a second meaning which is difficult to translate, but means something like what is currently being talked about. The English equivalent might be "something in the air." In 1948, when Roberto Ricci introduced this perfume, that "something in the air" was a sense of optimism as Europe moved beyond the events of World War II and the immediate aftermath. Designers were looking for something to bring women back to the world of fashion that had been put on hold during the war years.
The L'air du Temps bottle, designed by Marc Lalique, is a work of art.
No WONDER we like(d) it so much!!!
