What defines a fragrance "like L'Air du Temps"?

Three markers recur: a floral structure (carnation, rose, iris, mimosa…), a powdery touch that softens the whole, and often aldehydes that bring that slightly sparkling brilliance typical of the great classics. If it is this discreet elegance you are after, favour the floral and aldehydic floral families over modern fruity florals, which are sweeter.
