Once they kick in they start to smell like the floral arrangement in the heart of L'air du Temps as well as Arpege.

They function similar to the way trippy drugs remove the lid on the mind, the core, which soar up and out. This was the scent everyone reached for when they didn't know what to choose for an important date/occasion.My father mutters darkly in Italian about men who wear cologne; my mother sees perfume as self-indulgent. The scent captures something intimate and homey - something undoubtedly good and simple like self-care, a hug, or an act of kindess.

L'Aimant is very much like Topaze by Avon (which I wear and love) and I suppose similar to Chanel No. The differences are indeed minimal and one has to be actively looking for them, well on my skin anyway they are very close. I'm not a vintage fragrance collector; this review is for the recent iteration in the wide cut glass bottle. To me its paradise because I use Santa Maria Novella soaps and it's reminds me notes from there so I am happy.
