Perfumers
"L'Air du Temps is one of Nina Ricci's signature fragrances and a landmark floral perfume from the postwar era. Its character is centered on carnation, rose, jasmine, and gardenia, supported by creamy sandalwood and soft iris. The Eau de Parfum presents these floral elements in a more enveloping and intense form than the Eau de Toilette. The composition feels feminine, elegant, powdery, and quietly romantic rather than overtly sweet. Its dove-topped bottle and association with peace and optimism have made it an enduring symbol of the house. The fragrance remains part of Nina Ricci's current fragrance range."
