L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci Eau de Toilette
Timeless • Romantic • Iconically Feminine
L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci is one of the most celebrated floral fragrances in perfumery history — a poetic blend of flowers and spices that has embodied peace, elegance, and femininity since its creation in 1948. Designed by master perfumer Francis Fabron, this fragrance became the signature scent that elevated the Nina Ricci house to global acclaim.
The perfume opens with a luminous blend of carnation, aldehydes, rose, neroli, peach, Brazilian rosewood, and bergamot, creating a sparkling, airy introduction. At its heart lies the iconic carnation accord, enriched with cloves, gardenia, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, violet, orris root, rosemary, and orchid, forming a beautifully complex floral–spicy bouquet. The dry-down is warm, soft, and comforting, featuring a deep blend of spices, iris, oakmoss, musk, sandalwood, benzoin, amber, vetiver, and cedar.
Symbolized by its famous dove-topped bottle — a tribute to peace after World War II — L’Air du Temps remains a beacon of hope, romance, and timeless beauty.
