The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, L'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule by Nina Ricci is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Calice Becker. The composition opens with a bright aromatic flourish before transitioning into the heart of yellow and white florals, which are complemented by warm spicy notes. This blend culminates in a rich base of vanilla and woody accords that evoke the serene warmth of twilight. L'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule captures the essence of a moment when daylight gives way to soft shadows, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — the fragrance's floral heart blooms over an hour, making it ideal for wearing throughout the evening. The rich base notes mean that less is more; avoid layering it with other strong scents.
