"And only dreamed imagination Had drowned in the empty dark Its flitting visions' pale reflections, The soul fancy's easy mark?" Aleksandr Sergeievich Pushkin

There was a time when I was a great admirer of L'air du Temps by Nina Ricci, it was way back when my youthful perfume tastes were easily led by anything and everything that was in vogue. This fragrance was worn by many a confident young lady at the time and I wanted to join in and wear it too.

As many of you will have read before, I am a massive perfume fan; I have put a few reviews on here now of ones that I have used quite recently but one that I have not reviewed is my bottle of Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps perfume.

Light and floral scents; refreshing; well designed bottle; low price

Not much staying power and the middle notes disappear

I love the scent of L 'Air du Temps Eau de Toilette by Nina Ricci. I have been wearing this scent off and on again since I was about eighteen years old. Although since then I have bought many other perfumes, colognes, and body mists, I do enjoy this scent.

This remains my all time favorite scent (the only one I've been able to wear without incurring a severe headache) and it is my trademark scent.

truly a beautiful perfume. a real favourite and will purchase again and recommend it to friends. use it once and you will be hooked!

I have used this perfume for about 40 years. This is the only one my husband would let me wear. I was also a nurse and my patients absolutely loved this scent.

My grandmother always wore L'air du Temps, and when we were kids, my sisters and I were on a waiting list to get the emptied bottles :) Doing a little research on eBay, I realized, based on the bottles I remembered, that she used both the parfum and the toilette.

I ordered this and the talc powder , I was not too happy with either one . I have used this product for 40 years but this particular order did not have the fragrance I am used to ..seemed very light and did not stay on long . Could there be a expiry date or a bad batch ?

This product is just awesome.....the fragrance and packing !!!!!! BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
