Wetterhex

A light green forest after a spring rain.
The first lilies of the valley gently stretch out towards the spring sun. Everything is filled with hearty, fresh, slightly resinous air. The fresh green of the trees, young spruces, whose tips have been nibbled by the deer and which exude this resinous scent.
A torrent ripples through this stony, mountainous forest.
At first small and narrow, it makes its way through the mountain valley, foaming and rushing over the large and small stones. Towards the valley it becomes wider and quieter. Its water is icy cold and clear.
It offers a home to beautiful fish, the animals of the forest quench their thirst there.
First rays of sunlight draw beautiful patterns through the dense trees.
No sooner does the light reach the ground.
And there, on a big rock, she sits. A beautiful, delicate elf.
It seems almost unreal. A light green dress, long, golden-blond curls caress her delicate neck.
One almost believes to see a mirage or something similar, that's how fairy-tale like it looks.
Next to her in the soft moss lies an inconspicuous bottle. But out of it emanates exactly the scent that we perceived during our hike through the mountain forest.
And the next moment, she's gone.

Somewhere I once read that this scent would have been one of the first to be launched after the 2nd World War and that the two doves would symbolize doves of peace,

A nice thought, if only a legend. At least this fragrance fits quite well into the late 40s. A little melancholic, melancholy and yet clear and pure, transporting a certain hope.

I like to go to oldtimer meetings and then dress mostly in the style of the 50s. But I am not the typical Rockabella with Victory Rolls, I rather orientate myself by original old photos, where the women with carefully undulated hairstyles and pretty dresses were on the way.
I was looking for a fragrance to go with it. Since I am a bit of a perfectionist, it should also be a fragrance that was on the market at that time.
I didn't want the well-known No.5 by Chanel, you can smell it on every corner at such meetings. I wanted something that would make me stand out a bit more

That's how I came to be in LAir du Temps. I found it in a drugstore at Christmastime. There was no tester. I bought it blind. It was a gift box with a soap that came with it

At home I tested the fragrance for the first time. I was overwhelmed at first, felt reminded of ancient women, who often have such a soapy, cultivated scent. It also keeps quite well for a few hours

When I get ready for the meetings, first of all hours of curlers in my hair, a careful make-up, pearl necklace and matching earrings, hat and gloves are of course obligatory, as well as matching handbags. And then there is LAir du Temps.

I have been asked several times at the meetings about my fragrance, whether it is still an original from that time. Most people are surprised that the fragrance is still available today. Of course I don't know if the fragrance is still original like it was back then or if it has been reformulated a few times already.

I find it a very nice, ladylike scent, not sweet at all, very flowery and powdery and really reminds me of the soap bars that were always in Grandma's closet. (with me too, by the way)

A very beautiful, classic fragrance and nothing for very young girls
