  1. 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!

    1. You 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!

  2. I 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.

    I 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.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
