Launched in 2016, L'Air du Temps Zénith by Nina Ricci is a Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Francis Fabron. The composition opens with aldehydes and bergamot, creating an initial freshness that cuts through the sweetness of peaches and rose. This contrast gives way to a heart of carnation, gardenia, jasmine, and violet, all anchored by woody notes of palisander rosewood, sandalwood, and spices. The result is a fragrance that feels both classic and modern, a nuanced blend of white florals and powdery musk.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting. The powdery base develops over time, so it’s best to let it settle into your skin rather than layering heavily at once. Perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet nuanced scent.
