About this fragrance
L'air Du Temps Perfume
L'air Du Temps Perfume is an Oriental Floral Parfum for women, created by Nina Ricci in 1948 and widely regarded as one of the most enduring French florals of the twentieth century. Its blend of spiced neroli, peachy bergamot and Brazilian rosewood opens with warmth and brightness, leading into a richly layered heart of carnation, iris, ylang-ylang and May rose. The iconic dove-stoppered bottle is as recognisable as the fragrance itself. This suits women who appreciate classic, romantic florals with genuine depth and longevity.
Best worn for evening occasions or cooler months when its warm, mossy base of sandalwood, ambergris and benzoin can really settle into the skin and reveal its full character.

At Parfum concentration, expect strong projection and impressive longevity of eight hours or more on skin.
