"In L'Air du Temps, there is more than just a combination of noble raw materials. There is a real miracle here."
ROBERT RICCI
THE FIRST SPICY FLORAL FRAGRANCE
As the very first spicy-floral fragrance in the history of perfume, this timeless scent has become a veritable olfactive icon.
Its sophisticated spring accord, as sumptuous and intense as armfuls of roses, is laced with the clove notes of pink carnation and the warmth of sandalwood.
“I imagined the perfume I would like to smell on the shoulders of the woman I love... a floral, spicy fragrance." Francis Fabron, perfumer
The luscious bouquet of L’Air de Temps opens with a carnation and gardenia accord laced with fiery accents, giving the scent its distinctive personality. The rich, noble heart reveals delicate rose notes and sophisticated jasmine for a burst of blossoming opulence. A warm blend of creamy sandalwood and orris envelops the base in a sensual caress. A unique spicy floral Eau de Toilette infused with femininity.
THE PERFUME BOTTLE OF THE CENTURY
The pure and radiant fragrance of L'Air du Temps is encased in a bottle of flowing twists and exquisite curves.
Representing peace and love, two doves are tenderly interlaced on the stopper. It has come to symbolise optimism and new-found peace.
The iconic design was named “Perfume Bottle of the Century” in 2000, a fitting tribute for this timeless creation.
A REVISITED
MASTERPIECE CELEBRATING FRENCH SAVOIR-FAIRE
L'Air du Temps: a bottle and juice that artists have never been tired of reinventing, while preserving its signature.
For Spring-Summer 2023, L’Air du Temps has had a fresh makeover by Alix D Reynis. Inspired by the ceramic pieces, Nina Ricci’s most iconic bottle features a luminous white porcelain-style finish and is encased in a midnight blue box decorated with a gold motif, embodying the delicate details of artisanal craftsmanship.
This Eau de Parfum is a luminous musky floral. An ode to Alix D. Reynis' love of musk and his affection for the legacy of the original L'Air du Temps perfume.
