The story behind the bottle.
Le Temps des Lilas by Houbigant was launched during the 1920s and is a Floral fragrance for women and men. Created by Robert Bienaimé, this composition opens with fresh, green notes that give way to a heart of lilac and white florals, creating an atmosphere that is both delicate and invigorating. The soapy undertones add a subtle cleanliness, making it feel like a refreshing breeze on a spring day.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the delicate top notes are not overwhelmed. The fragrance blooms over time, so allow it a few minutes to settle on the skin before heading out.
