The floral fragrance with light and airy notes describes perfectly the successor of the famous fragrance by the house of Nina Ricci - L'Air du Temps from 1948.

After the first edition with beautiful small pigeons on the stopper standing as symbols of peace, numerous versions of the flacon have been presented up till today. Some of them attract attention with glamorous feathers and colours of rainbow, while others offer variations of the master piece - L'Air du Temps which is famous even today as one of the classics of perfumery.

The new successor offers a more romantic and finer approach. It was announced as an airy and floral edition composed of intertwining notes of honeysuckle, jasmine, magnolia, violet extract and powdery notes.

The flacon was created in the spirit of the classic edition and is decorated with pink nuances. Its stopper features kissing pigeons. L'Air arrives on the market in April 2011 and will be available in the amount of 100ml EDP – according to Marie Claire.

I desperately want to try this fragrance but can't find anywhere in the UK that stocks it! Is there anywhere online that stocks this? (Looked in the usual places like Amazon and Ebay)

This is my absolute favourite for spring. I smell it and it just immediately think of warmth, sunshine and flowers sprouting up.

Okay, anyone who clicked "dislike" for this scent is CrAzY!!! I LOVE it!!! <3 <3 <3 It is gorgeous!! Mmm, honeysuckle has to be the most divine scent in the universe! I get the honeysuckle, violet, night blooming jasmine, a little woodiness, and a little pink pepper... no patchouli, as many have stated, but maybe that's just me. Divine, feminine, sexy... floral, but by no means cheap or generic, which is a problem a lot of floral scents have. :) So happy I just swapped for this! Thank you, Cams!!

PS-This scent isn't discontinued or anything, is it?! When I search for it online, all that seems to come up are L'air Du Temps and L'air Du Printemps! :(

JUST GOT A TESTER: SHALL TRY AND WRITE REVIEW! THANX GUYS AND GALS FOR YOUR REVIEWS!
ok, i tried it and in my opinion it is nothing to scream to Fragrantica about..Reminds me of the opening notes of Perry Ellis 360 and Forever by Alfred Sung. It has been 20 min . and all i smell are sparkly springtime flowers blooming; an airy scent that is alluring (Chanel 19 just came out of the scent!), I did not think i would like it at first but here come richer notes: darker, like a forest at sundown: mossy, damp earth, the sweet smeel of leaves on the ground and ... rain? ozone-like freshness pierces through the heady boisé drydown. I actually think I like it a lot after all... Staying power is good on me... like Aflred Sung... tarrar :D

I am not smelling flowers in this at all. To me it's more of an aquatic scent? It's not bad though, quite different from L'Air du Temps that's for sure.

Update the notes please! First off I want to say this perfume smelled wonderful on my sister in law. On me, however, all I got was the palisander wood, which isn't listed and smelled awful on me (see review below). I think that the wood note is still quite noticable on others (though not overpowering) and would rank very high in the "main notes according to your votes". I almost blindly purchased it based on the notes listed and my love of the original fragrance. Luckily I happened to track down a sample before hand, but we all know samples aren't always available to us. In paticular, older fragrances can be very difficult to find, let alone find a sample of. We all rely heavily on fragrantica in order to make informed decisions. Had the palisander wood been mentioned I would have known immediately it couldn't work for me.

exactly like cool flowers and patchouli, there is patchouli in it, like most of new fragrances. but no fruit in it, i find it modern and déjà vu nothing special but still better than so many modern fragrances with patchouli!

Smells nothing like the original L'Air du Temps. I like this one much better. This is lighter, fresher, cooler, and less spicy. It smells like cool flowers and patchouli to me. Like fresh air and a cool fragrant breeze.

Please update the proper notes for this! There are many more than are listed, including:
top notes of honeysuckle, freesia, and violet leaves; a heart of magnolia, jasmine sambac, and Bulgarian rose notes; and a base of patchouli and palisander wood.

I has a sample of this one.Very soft, not annoying,with a hint of flower, wild pink rose, with a hint of pepper.The drydown is with almost unnoticable note of honey. This perfume is very light,airy, but for me is not enough "drama" here.

At first spray I got the "fruitchouli" of Ricci Ricci but L'Air settles down and becomes much softer and floral. If you like the spirit of the modern Chloé fragrances you will also like L'Air. It has the fabricsoftner floral/musk character of Chloé Signature but with less rose. The hairspray (Elnett) accord of Love, Chloé but without violet. I would call this an abstract floral because I can't detect any floral note in particular. What is new is the "clean" non-earthy patchouli. Though one part is very young and modern, the other is somewhat vintage... old lady-ish but in a fun way.
Overall I get a very clean and gentle effect. This might sound terrible, but actually L'Air smells like a powdery deodorant... a very nice one. LOL!

Today the fragrance is just arrived from France! I love the commercials and the spot inspired by "A Bout de Souffle" and Paris in the 60’s . The bottle and packaging are wonderful, the bottle is a classic revisit in pink-key , the box’s graphic remind me of those years.
The fragrance surprised me! I'm glad I bought it without trying it! It 'a floral-green with woody and powdery base notes of pachuly and precious woods.
I agree: the first floral notes remind me of Chloe EDP, but L’ Air is more joyful and crisp, the base notes make it sensual and elegant. Is modern and classic at the same time, perfect for the summer, original anytime. Jean Seberg would loved!

Hmmm.... it's not bad! I smell jasmine, tea, with a little bit of lemon and honey in it. Would make a nice drink, haha.

It reminds me, a little, of Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Le Secret, only this one is warmer and less evil.

L'Air's opening is a nice floral, but I don't care much for the top notes - the base is the most important for me, in any perfume.
I agree with spiritkind - it does smell woody in the base, very woody! It smells exactly like my grandmother's dresser with clean linens and a pouch of aromatic powder somewhere between the neat stacks of sheets... In fact, a very dear to me, lovely and nostalgic smell. But, do I want such perfume?.. Nice bottle!

I was very dissapointed in this. I love Nina Ricci fragrances, and all the notes listed in here, but it turned very weird on my skin. I looked up the notes, and it turned out to be palisander wood I was smelling (an arch nemesis). To me it frequently smells a lot like Cedar, one of my least favorite scents. And unfortunately that is all I get is this strange wood scent, no florals whatsoever. You know when items have been left in a wood trunk for a long time and are finally taken out, how they reek of the wood? That is how this scent smells on me (old trunk stench, bleh). I know this must just be my body chemistery. Very sad I can't wear this one. :(

This is a very classic flower. lighter then the original. I think it will suit a classic and elegant woman the best.

Update: I keep returning to the store over and over again to spray it on. I became loving this scent.
Its fresh and flowery, a bit classic.
The Magnolia and Honeysuckle are promint on my skin after I aplied it. But then, when it settle,s it becames soft and a bit powdery.
For me it will make a great spring and summer scent

I find it flowery as well as fruity in the opening. The dry down is very similar to chloe(new) but without being so sharp,somehow clean,kind of the smell of clean clothes while being ironed.It is completely different in the beginning and 2 hours later. The staying power is good ,but I would like the flowers lasted longer.
