From 15 January 2025, this home fragrance will gradually be introduced at the entrance to certain Air France lounges at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, as a welcome gesture at the start of a journey. Customers will discover the fragrance in the lobby, the lounge and the La Première suites, as well as in the lounges located in terminals 2E halls L and M, 2F and 2G. Air France will be gradually using the fragrance in its other lounges in Paris and around the world over the coming months.


Evoking a feeling of space, calm and light, AF001 accompanies travellers in style. Its comforting musky scent, combined with mimosa from the south of France, adds a sunny, natural vibrancy. Created with hints of jasmine and rose, its delicate floral aura takes travellers on a real olfactory journey, capturing a specific moment in time.

A reference to the legendary Concorde flights between New York and Paris in the late 1970s, the name AF001 immediately evokes the world of Air France and the codes specific to air travel. It also reminds travellers of their very first journey.
