Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to L'Air du Temps Eau de Toilette.

Seventy-odd years make changes close to certain, and owners who compare old and modern bottles keep finding large differences. No date or house statement pins a change down, and modern bottles are reported both as strong and as fleeting.

A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.

To check a particular bottle, ask Nina Ricci or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.
