L’Air Du Temps

L’Air du Temps, a Classic Floral

Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps is a classic floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with carnation, bergamot, and peach before a rose, violet, and jasmine heart settles over musk, amber, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Nina Ricci built L’Air du Temps as a soft, timeless scent, all spicy carnation and gentle flowers over warm musk and amber. The idea was a refined, romantic femininity.

That soft elegance is its appeal. The carnation and peach keep it bright, the rose and violet add a full floral heart, and the musk and sandalwood give it a warm, smooth base. Our interpretation follows that same romantic path.
