Launched in 1948 by Nina Ricci and crafted by perfumer Francis Fabron, L'Air du Temps Parfum is a fragrance that captures the essence of lasting elegance. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and spices, quickly giving way to a heart filled with white and yellow florals like carnation, may rose, and ylang-ylang. These delicate notes are anchored by a rich base of moss, ambergris, sandalwood, and musk, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
L'Air du Temps Parfum has become synonymous with the refined style Nina Ricci is known for — it was one of the first fragrances to blend floral notes with warm spices, setting a new standard in perfumery.
