Description
L`Air du Temps Couture Edition is anniversary edition in honor of 60th anniversary since launch of fragrance L`Air du Temps in 1948.
It is created by Francis Fabron and still enchants with its fine feminine floral accords. It opens with notes of bergamot, rosewood, carnation, rose, peach and neroli in the top. The heart brings a bouquet created of jasmine, violet, iris root, ylang-ylang, gardenia, carnation, rosemary, orchid and cloves. The base introduces cedar, sandalwood, musk, amber, iris, vetiver, benzoin, moss and spices.
The bottle has the same shape like the first edition, L’Air du Temps, the design of which was inspired by a gown created by the fashion director of Nina Ricci house – Olivier Theyskens. Only this time the bottle is in yellow-green nuances with feathers tied to the bottom with satin ribbon. The outer box is white with Damask Print. The front side of the box is transparent and the whole bottle is visible.
This limited edition fragrance is available from April 2008 as 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) EDT.

Maybe the bottle can come across as tacky it may get to ones psyche. I myself think that the presentation is delightful. Better yet the feather skirt is a removable collar and you are left with a pretty gradient of chartreuse to Harlequin glass bottle. Same feathered love birds on the cap.
What I like from L’air du Temps even the couture edition is the carnations. They are mixed with Jasmine, bergamont, little sharp on the clove and and a slight air of synthetic also may indeed have powder to it but it is accompanied with crisp & bright notes sometimes spicy and is very feminine.

I really believe l’air du temps could survive without this re-edition.
I don’t know whether the composition is the same or not,but to me it smells different in a cheaper way.it’s almost all soap and the bottle…that feathers around the bottle are not a good idea.
glad that so many people are not aware of this version or they might change their mind about the original version too.
