L'Air du Temps

When I was a little girl, my mum loved L'Air du Temps perfume by Nina Ricci. Probably all of our mums did, I think it was the perfume of the decade. Nina Ricci is a magical name to me, one of those mysterious French companies whose clothes you couldn't actually buy in Holland. Now British designer Peter Copping (formerly at Louis Vuitton) is in charge of the brand, and I just adore his pretty romantic clothes. I don't use L'Air du Temps now, instead I love Barneys' house perfume, Route du Thé. But my own little girl loves my Nina Ricci shoes.....
