L'Air du Temps (for women)
Designer: Nina Ricci Olfactive Group: Floral
!
The timeless fragrance L'Air du tempsby Nina Ricci that brought a fame to the Ricci house became and remains until today one of the greatest fragrance creations. L'Air du Temps was created due to the great passion of the Nina Ricci's son Robert for fragrances and the art of the master perfumer Francis Fabron. The fragrance was launched after the World War II, in 1948, and the dove on the top is a symbol of peace.
The floral-spicy note of the carnation is in centre of its composition. Bergamot and rosewood support the development of the carnation theme, refined with the notes of rose and jasmine. Violet and iris give a powdery nuance, and create a harmony with the woodsy notes of cedar and sandal, while sensual musk and amber add the final feminine accord to the composition.

A hidious smell. Even tough it is several years since I´ve got this one in present from my aunt I still remember how to "much of everything" it smelled. Like you have get soaked in a flowerbath. I guess it´s a nice fragrance if you like a really, really strong flower fragrance...

Elegant, feminine floral, my husband loves the scent. I've gotten numerous compliments everytime I wear this perfume. This is the only Nina Ricci perfume I like. This one blooms on me. My husband always wants me to wear this perfume it is his favorite on me. A 5 of 5 stars to me! Beautiful bottle too.

I agree.. I loved it on my friend but on me it was powdery.. I wanted so badly to wear it but just doesn't work well with my chemistry.

Although a classic, it never agreed with me, not even in the 80's. There is something powdery that I don't like about it.
