L'Air du Temps by Olivia Putman was launched in 2013, a blend of warm spices and white florals that echoes the rich heritage of Nina Ricci, founded back in 1932. This fragrance opens with carnation and neroli, creating an aromatic freshness before diving into the heart notes of palisander rosewood and jasmine. The base is anchored by musk, amber, and vetiver, providing a powdery warmth that lingers on the skin. It's a composition that feels both classic and modern, blending traditional floral notes with contemporary spiciness.
