The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1932 by Caron and crafted by Ernest Daltroff, En Avion is a fragrance that captures the essence of elegance and luxury. It opens with bright citrus notes from orange and neroli, which give way to a heart of carnation, rose, jasmine, and lilac — floral accords that blend into an enveloping warmth of amber, opoponax, sandalwood, and musk. This composition is not just a perfume but a journey through time, embodying the refined French sensibility for which Caron has become renowned.
Apply En Avion to your pulse points for a rich warmth that blooms over time. The citrus notes will fade within two hours, but the amber and woody base notes will linger throughout the day, ensuring a lasting impression.
