L'Air du Temps Cristal d'Or by Nina Ricci was launched in 2009 and created by perfumer Francis Fabron. This fragrance is a rich blend of floral, woody, and warm spicy notes that evoke the essence of refined elegance. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and neroli, followed by carnation and rose, creating an initial impression of freshness and grace. As it develops, earthy accords such as brazilian rosewood and vetiver mingle with white florals like ylang-ylang and gardenia to create a warm, enveloping heart. The base notes of musk, amber, and spices ground the scent, adding depth and longevity.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the complex notes to unfold gradually. The spicy warmth can be intense initially, so one or two sprays are sufficient for the scent to develop naturally on your skin throughout the day.
