Thank you for figuring this out! Someone I know pretty much handed me 6 of these. I had no clue where to go for answers and found you!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky! Judging only from Hallbrook #5, which is a delight to the nose, I can only guess that all of them are delicious!
DeleteI love L'Air du Temps! A few years ago I found approx. 5 small perfume bottles in a zippered plastic perfume bag. Because they were small, approx. 1/4 ounce to 1/2 ounce, I thought they were samples. I have no idea where I got them from; perhaps someone gave them to me as a present that I had forgotten about. One of them was Hallbrook #5; another one was L'air du Temps. I fell in love with Hallbrook #5! However, I didn't notice the resemblance to L'air du Temps.
ReplyDeleteI just found out reading the above info on this web page that it's Hallbrook's version of L'air du Temps. No wonder I LOVE it, although I hadn't noticed the resemblance to L'air du Temps. I just went to my room to take a sniff of both of them and I can definitely notice the similarity, which is the sweetness of the scent, but I still prefer #5! I was so disappointed to find out that Hallbrook went out of business.
