L'Air du Temps Eau Sublime

So, to satisfy the latter, Nina Ricci decided to create a new flanker named L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime. For the occasion, it is enhanced with gold, woven with white flowers and carrying behind it a true breath of sensuality.

The very feminine scent of L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime

In order to succeed Francis Fabron, Nina Ricci called upon the talent of perfumer Calice Bekcer. This French perfumer now works in New York. Over time, she has become an essential signature in the world of perfumery and seems capable of creating best-sellers just as well as niche fragrances. To do so, she says she draws inspiration from everything she encounters, from her travels and from her own history. She also draws inspiration from various arts such as painting, music, pastry making, and wine tasting. This time, her senses guided her toward an enormous, fresh floral bouquet. L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime opens with a sharp and biting burst of yuzu, a small Japanese citron famous for its highly fragrant odor. This then gives way to carnation, an ingredient present since the origin of L’Air du Temps. Moreover, this flower carries a very feminine romanticism with a touch of impertinence. Its spicy swirls then give way to a concentrate of white flowers dominated by tuberose. The latter is both heady and honeyed. It leaves a creamy, warm imprint in its wake. Finally, the whole composition ends on more sensuality. L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime closes on an animalic musk scent.

Nina Ricci's luxurious bottle

Originally, L’Air du Temps was presented in an ovalized sun-shaped bottle. It was both radiant and fluid, expressing the freedom regained after the war. Its cap was engraved with a dove. Then, in 1951, Nina Ricci teamed up with Marc Lalique to design a new shape for it. He created a kind of crystal swirl on which two chiseled doves came to rest. Since that day, this bottle has remained unchanged. It conveys a universal message and is an allegory of love and tenderness. It is also still present on the new version of L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime. It even pushes refinement to its peak. Furthermore, L’Air du Temps Eau Sublime is entirely tinted in a golden hue that speaks volumes about the elegance and prestige it holds.
