Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps Eau De Toilette Spray Refill for Women, 3.4 Ounce Report
Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps Eau De Toilette Spray Refill for Women, 3.4 Ounce Review by Paul
This fragrance for women has been around a long time. While not as popular as it was in the 50's because of the dominant advertising of products that have eclipsed this and other "heirloom" products, L'air du Temps is still a wonderfully romantic fragrance. I have introduced it as a gift to several of my special friends and family members. Everyone of them have loved the subtle, gentle quality of this product and continue to use it as their special occasion fragrance.

Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps Eau De Toilette Spray Refill for Women, 3.4 Ounce Review by M. V. Huss "The Madcap" (MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, US)
Ever since I introduced it to my mother, via a trial pack I'd received with another fragrance order, she's been sold on it: hook, line and sinker. Although I, personally, am not partial to it, this scent fits my mother's persona to a tee and has made gift giving a breeze.
Birthday? She wants this!
Anniversaries? This product!
Holidays, etc... yeah, same song, same dance. =) It's also a great way to put a smile on her face as a 'just because I was thinking of you' gift. Works well, also, with various other products in the line (primarily talc for that layered but not over done effect). The fragrance itself is very feminine, soft, subtle and inviting; not the least bit overpowering (I've yet to walk away with blazed red eyes streaming, as if I were attacked by an overzealous counter clerk). The only thing I would recommend to people purchasing it through the mail, is to insist that the postal carrier not leave it at the box if your mailbox is directly in the sun for a prolonged period of time -- heat alters the chemical compounds and makes it... sour (as you'd expect with most fragrances, colognes, par-fooms, etc in the aforementioned circumstances).
But, yes, the product receives two thumbs way WAY up. Totally groovtacular, no regrets from anyone whose encountered it.
Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps Eau De Toilette Spray Refill for Women, 3.4 Ounce Review by Shiloh True "Rabid Reader" (Texas)
I was just a small child, when I pulled my first tiny bottle of this 1948 classic, L'Air du Temps, from my Christmas stocking. I was mesmerized by the bottle, and, the birds, more than the content. In fact, I wasn't quite into fragrances, yet, and was not impressed with the smell; I wrinkled my nose; my father grinned. I can't say the same for my mother, who gifted with the same fragrance, swooned when she dabbed her neck. I can still see my dad's beaming face---the joy he received gifting his favorite girls, with such a special treat.
From that Christmas on, L'Air du Temps became a holiday tradition, through my 20's. While I initially took the fragrance for granted, I began to slowly become enamoured with it, and I was struck by the realization that my dad was a man of refined taste. This realization hit home, most profoundly, when he was suddenly taken from us. This is when I realized that fragrances are much more than the olfactory experience; they evoke many emotions, on such a deep psychological level, that just one passing whiff can send you time-traveling.
L'Air du Temps is, simply put, a beautiful, spicy floral that is a must for anyone who loves feminine, classy, vintage type scents. I don't care if I'm wearing jogging shoes and grungy jeans, when I apply this scent, I suddenly feel like the gamin faced, Audrey Hepburn, or sometimes, I morph into the sultry Claudia Cardinale, who reportedly loved this fragrance. There is not another scent that makes me feel as feminine.
I know I'm likely partial because I have a history with this fragrance, but also because of the carnation (a favorite of mine), which is in the top notes, along with neroli, bergamot, rose and Brazilian rosewood. The middle notes also contain carnation, with rosemary, gardenia, violet, orchid, cloves, orris root, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and more rose. While I think the carnation lingers through, and remains detectable hours after application, the final notes include spices, iris, amber, sandalwood, musk, benzoin, oak moss, vertiver and cedar.
There are some that say, that even though there has been a reformulation, likely for cost control, that this creation still has more natural ingredients than many others, and has not strayed too far from the original, for the purists to still enjoy it. I tend to agree, but sure wish it could have retained its classic formula.
In memory of my father, I was looking for some L'Air du Temps to gift myself for Christmas. I was thrilled to find it at such a savings here on Amazon, particularly for the 3.3 oz size. It has arrived, and I'm delighted. It appears as fresh as any that I have bought at fine department stores, and much better than my last drug store purchase, at twice the cost. Mine definitely IS the real deal!
While reminiscing, I focused on the little doves and I was reminded of their universal meaning---one of love, hope, peace, fidelity and new beginnings. I was filled with overwhelming gratitude, for that first little bottle of L'Air du Temps, and everything was, put-right, for the New Year.
