L'Air du Temps
Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps is an eau de parfum long associated with joy and freedom. Launched in 1948 by Francis Fabron, it reflects the spirit of liberation and equality that marked the post-war years, and its bright, uplifting character still feels fresh today.
The opening is fruity and sparkling, with a juicy peach lifted by a brisk citrus edge, before the heart unfolds into a soft floral bouquet built around rose. Beneath it, a dry woody base of sandalwood adds warmth, while powdery and musky tones give the fragrance a smooth, lingering finish. Its overall character is feminine and understated, yet expressive enough to be noticed.
It carries strongly, so a small amount goes a long way and it can be detected across a room. Longevity is moderate, so it usually stays noticeable through the working day and into the evening without becoming heavy.
The fragrance suits a wide range of settings. It works in the office, on casual days out and for evenings out, and its balance of brightness and depth means it can be worn in every season. It feels relaxed at a gathering yet polished enough for a more refined occasion.
Presented as an eau de parfum in a 50ml bottle.
