L'air Du Temps

I started using Nina Ricci L'air Du Temps in the early 1970's. I am going to be 82 years old in February of 2015 and I have not used any other perfume since then. Everyone tells me that I always smell so good and women who are allergic to fragrances are a

"Great smell, but doesn't last"

I love using this product, but after I put it on it only lasts for a very short time. I use to put it on in the morning and it would still smell nice at night, however, I think they have changed something and it doesn't last very long.

So glad you stock this!

Our mother used this back in the 60s. Sister and I love this beautiful scent. It is great that it can be ordered and delivered at such a super value. The bottle is gorgeous and timeless. Love your company. This will be a repeat order for sure.

I have worn this perfume since 1968 & I still wear it today!

I use it from the beginning of my day, and it's still with me when I'm preparing to get ready for bed. I get compliments from everyone I meet! It isn't too pricey, and still competes today with perfumes that sell for twice as much and more! It's the best smelling perfume on the market, and I will wear no other! I prefer the perfume to the toilette; it lasts much longer so it's well worth the higher price. I recommend it to everybody who wants to feel beautiful and smell like Heaven!

L'Aire Du Temps a lovely scent and is apt for every occasion

I love L'Aire Du Temps. I've worn it for many years (40+). My regret is that I can't afford the Parfum, which lasts a lot longer.

Love it

I use every day. Everyone says you always smell so good what are you wearing, it must last all day, but I don't smell it. I always hear if you don't smell the cologne it agrees with you. I have bought cologne it gave me a headache smelled it. This one I smell at first then gone to me. Love it….

This is a great fragrance but…

I the beginning the smell is so light and airy, never overpowering but it doesn't last. Not lasting also means it doesn't stay on your clothes. My sister loves Obsession and when she borrows my clothes you can smell the fragrance. I don't like Obsession.

Forever Fragrance

I've used this fragrance for years. I am 68 years old and I continue to receive many compliments. I find that it's better to purchase the parfume rather than the toilette. The extra expense is well worth the longevity of the fragrance.

I can't smell this scent and it's leaking out of the sprayer

I've always loved this but I can't smell this bottle. I e ordered a fair amount of perfume from you and have always been happy. It may be because it's a tester but I'm very disappointed. It's also leaking.

This is just as I remember it from 40 years ago. It's light and refreshing; I can use it generously but not give all those allergy sufferers headaches. ;) The bottle is beautiful on my dresser. I love it!

I LOVE this perfume! To me, this perfume is me!

I have always used this perfume daily, the scent slightly changes as the day progresses, but I think for the better. Every time I have ever ran out , I think I can do without it - but nope - can't do it. I absolutely love this perfume, I have worn it for going on 30 years now, and still get compliments .

I would and do buy this again and again.

Love this perfume. First perfume ever used and have used others but this is what I use now. Love the clean smell. At times spray some on at night before bed. I feel special and happy doing this. I do this for me alone, not because of anyone with me. I still thank the boyfriend that bought this for me when I was 17 years old in high school. Has light scent that does not cause any problems for family members that cannot tolerate a lot of other fragrances.. A definite plus!!

Because it is a light floral fragrance.

I wore this fragrance on my Wedding day 50 years ago and it still draws complements. It is a light floral fragrance that suits any age, and something you can wear everyday or something you wear on a special occasion. You will know that you always smell good... it never lets you down!

PLEASE don't stop offering L'air Du Temps!!

I have worn L'air Du Temp since the early 80's. One day, I was walking behind a lady in a mall, and this wonderful fragrance filled the air around her. I stopped her to ask what fragrance she was wearing.I bought it, and have worn nothing but Láir Du Temp for the past 40 yrs, and the same thing happens to me! Routinely, people stop me and ask what fragrance I'm wearing. For those who say the fragrance doesn't last, buy the perfume, NOT the toilette water. It's a little more expensive, but it lasts a long time. Also, layering it with the lotion and powder makes a huge difference too.
