AN OLFACTORY MIRACLE

Intensity

“L’Air du Temps is a true olfactory miracle,” Robert Ricci said. As the first spicy-FLORAL fragrance in the history of perfume, L’Air du Temps is an eternally elegant scent. 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.

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.
