Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its light, clean floral profile and moderate sillage make it ideal for the office or casual daytime wear, ensuring it's never overpowering. It's too delicate for formal events and not quite suited for active sports.

About

L'Air du Temps Colombes Couleur opens with a delicate, slightly aquatic freshness from lotus and cyclamen, brightened by a hint of bergamot. It soon blossoms into a classic floral heart where lily, lily of the valley, and jasmine intertwine, creating a clean, airy bouquet. The drydown settles into a soft, comforting whisper of musk and sandalwood, maintaining its light touch throughout.
