About this fragrance
L'air du Temps
L'air Du Temps is an Eau de Parfum concentration Oriental Floral fragrance for women, created by Nina Ricci and first launched in 1948. One of the most enduring French florals ever composed, it balances a lush, multi-petalled heart of carnation, May rose, iris and ylang-ylang against a warm, mossy base that keeps it grounded and sensual. It suits women who appreciate classic femininity with real depth, and wears beautifully from afternoon through to evening across cooler seasons.
With decades of history behind it, L'air Du Temps remains a genuinely iconic fragrance that rewards those who take the time to wear it properly through its full dry down.

What to Expect
The opening arrives with bright bergamot and neroli lifted by peach and a whisper of spice, with Brazilian rosewood adding a warm, woody softness from the start. The heart unfolds into a rich floral accord where carnation, lily, May rose, orchid and ylang-ylang all compete gently for attention. The dry down settles into moss, sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, ambergris and benzoin, creating a creamy, resinous warmth. Longevity is strong, with moderate to full projection for the first several hours.
