Today is my lucky day! About 2 weeks ago I spotted the Box for "Nina" by Nina Ricci (without bottle made by Lalique) in a charity shop for $1 NZ. I figured they'd taken out the perfume bottle for personal use and kept it because the box still smelt strongly of the perfume. And I bought it anyway because I loved it.
Today I wandered back into the store and spotted the 15ml perfume bottle in a small cabinet in amongst other junk for $6. I just about had a karniption. I was so exicted. The bottle is about 3/4 full.
To reunite the pair and all for $7NZ!!
Yipppeeeee.
Does anyone know what year this Nina packaging is from? (photo not loading of package - will try again soon - package is plain textured white/cream with gold square of a womans silhoutte with flowers in hair).

A good way to get a ballpark date on these items with distinctive and variable boxes is to look for the magazine advertisements for the scent on ebay. I have done this with the Worth perfumes with great success. miKKo
Thank you miKKo - I will do this - what a great idea!! I found an old bunch of my grandfathers papers in the shed and have started going through them - even though they are kiwi papers they are a good start!
