What does Love fills L'Air du Temps smell like?

The top notes of peach, lemon, bergamot and basil give a bright, fruity start. In the heart, mimosa, lilac, peony and rose lead, while violet and freesia keep the floral side soft and powdery. The base of oakmoss and patchouli brings a chypre feel, softened by sandalwood and musk.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling a room. Most voters pick it for daytime wear, followed by leisure and the office, and few choose it for evenings or nights out. It reads light, clean and feminine.
