Advantages: fresh and longlasting spray

Disadvantages: none

I love expensive perfumes and over the years have managed to acquire a good selection having been bought them for Christmas and birthdays by generous family members.

I quite often remember people by the smell of their perfume or aftershave and, although Dior and Chanel definately have their place, this eau de toilette by Nina Ricci is my all-time favourite!

The packaging is quite striking as it is yellow and white with birds on it.

The size I like is 50ml/1.7 oz - and the cost is around £20 - but DO check the 'cut-price' shops like Quality Save where they often have it on promotion?

Nina Ricci designed this fragrance in 1948 and ii has been described as suitable for evening wear but personally I think it's great to wear daytime as well because it is so fresh.

The spray is easy to use and you can use just the minimum spray - I've found that sometimes with Dior it 'quirts' and I end up smelling like Boots perfume Department!

The tones in Nina Ricci's L'air du Temps are as follows -
Bergamot
gardenia
carnation
jasmine
rose vetiver

don't let this list put you off - it sounds like an old ladies' fragrance, BUT I would say it was suitable for teens up to great, great grandmas!!

I had a little left in a bottle when I had to go into hospital so threw it in my bag at the last minute - SO pleased I did as loads of people commented on the lovely perfume.

Summary: a light & fresh fragrance by Nina Ricci
