The story behind the bottle.
L'Air du Temps À Paris chez Antoinette Poisson by Nina Ricci was launched in 2021 and is a creation of perfumer Calice Becker. This fragrance opens with the bright, zesty freshness of yuzu and pink pepper before giving way to a lush heart of tuberose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine. The woody base, anchored by sandalwood and musk, adds an earthy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the floral exuberance above. This composition captures the essence of Parisian elegance in a modern light.
Apply one to two sprays at pulse points for a balanced wear. The yuzu top note is fleeting but impactful, so let the fragrance settle before heading out. This scent blooms best in cooler weather when its warmth feels more inviting.
