    The last (and only) time I wore this was during my pregnancy – 1979. Deplored most florals before and after, but maybe it’s time to give it a try. (I sound – and feel – like a kid who won’t try an unfamiliar vegetable.)

      Pretty sure I can beat you — the last time I wore it, I was probably about 10 or 11! But I haven’t smelled it in years. If I had that bottle, I’d be willing to give it a sniff 😉

    Love the video! For a moment I thought I was watching a Wes Anderson movie trailer.

    I’ve tried several bottles of new L’air du Temps and they smell nothing like the old bottles. (Cue sad trombone.) I wonder if this type of “luxe” bottle version of the fragrance would remind me of the old scent.

      Yes, very Wes Anderson!
