About L'Air du Temps
Nina Ricci is best known for L'Air du Temps from 1948, a carnation and rose composition housed in a dove-stopper Lalique bottle that became one of the most iconic fragrance objects of the 20th century. L'Air du Temps remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on carnation, rose, jasmine, musk, sandalwood, benzyl salicylate. It sits well in the designer tier, delivering projection and longevity that compare favorably with other fragrances at the same Sephora and department store price range.
Nina takes the line in a different direction. It appeals to buyers who want something from Nina Ricci that reads differently from the signature. Ricci Ricci rounds out the catalog with a third option covering women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
