L'Air du Temps Eau de Parfum by Nina Ricci was launched in 1948 and remains a lasting emblem of the brand's heritage. Created by perfumer Francis Fabron, this Oriental Floral fragrance is an intricate blend of woody warmth, floral elegance, and powdery notes that evoke a sense of sophisticated refinement. At its heart, iris and white florals like lily and ylang-ylang create a delicate yet enduring bouquet, while spices and musk lend depth and earthy charm.
