L'Air

By combining beautiful materials, romantic draping and graceful cuts, Nina Ricci reinvented femininity. It was her only son, Robert Ricci, who launched the brand into perfumery. Her second fragrance, L’air du temps, has become timeless and contributed significantly to the brand’s renown. Inspired by L’air du temps, Nina Ricci presented, in 2011, L’air, thus symbolizing the femininity of a new era.

A wind of freedom blows through the house of Nina Ricci

L’air is a small nod to L’air du temps, released in 1948, which helped make the brand a star of perfumery. It should be noted that L’air du temps is still among the 5 best-selling perfumes in the world. According to the house, L’air is above all the fragrance of a new generation, one that combines freedom and elegance, poetry and authenticity, modernity and sensuality. The L’air woman is above all a free woman. Naturally beautiful, today’s woman is radiant and determined. L’air reveals a new femininity, absolute and modern. L’air is like a new era, a new breath, a breeze, a light and contemporary air. L’air is an ultra cheerful, luminous floral essence embodied by a sparkling young woman whose short haircut and androgynous silhouette recall that of Jean Seberg in the film Pierrot le fou. Another nod, not only to Godard but also to the Paris of the 1960s, joyful and defiant.

L’air and its magnificent floral bouquet

L’air is a wonderful floral bouquet, luminous, multifaceted, with a captivating sillage. L’air takes flight on the light and crystalline notes of honeysuckle and freesia. The ultra feminine heart exhales notes of magnolia, jasmine and Bulgarian rose. The base notes are sensual and woody, with the presence of patchouli and rosewood. The bottle takes up the main codes of L’air du temps. Enhanced by streamlined doves and a powdery pink gradient, the luxurious bottle of L’air symbolizes Nina Ricci’s new femininity.

As a tribute to L’air du temps, the brand’s iconic fragrance, L’air delicately settles on women’s skin. L’air is a new era, a new breath, another femininity. While the woman is still free, she wants to be freer than before, in the time of L’air du temps. The magnificent floral bouquet gives the composition freshness, beauty and lightness. The bottle with its two doves champions peace, love and the new femininity.
