A true legend of perfumery, as one will have recognized, this is L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci. In 2022, this perfume for women is brought back into the spotlight by the house, in collaboration with the Parisian house Antoinette Poisson. Focus on its limited edition for spring-summer 2022.

L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, far more than a perfume, a symbol

L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci dared to radically change feminine perfumery at the time of its release, by opting for a short formula. It stood at odds with the very dense perfumes of its time. It opted for a lighter air, resembling a flowering, velvety garden. In this way, it evoked, timelessly, the lightness of its era, as well as all its cheerfulness. Since 1948, L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci has taken us into a highly optimistic universe, woven with creative sensitivity, love and tenderness. It reflects a wager full of surprises and weaves a faithful relationship with women. In 2022, times have changed but it is precisely this philosophy that is still found in L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci and Antoinette Poisson. It is a feminine juice releasing an instant feeling of joy.

The floral and warm scent of L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci

L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci evokes the spirit of today, combining tradition and modernity. On the scent side, it owes its existence to perfumers Louise Turner and Nathalie Gracia Cetto. They chose to open it with a luminous and fresh alliance of mandarin and petitgrain. Then, in a Mediterranean and spring-like spirit, L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci is built around a heart of mimosa and orange blossom. Gradually, it becomes more gourmand, sweet and warm. It finally ends with a duo of tonka bean and honey.

The bottle of L'Air du Temps by Antoinette Poisson

On the bottle side, L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci preserves its historic silhouette, resembling a crystal swirl topped with two doves. However, this elegant bottle has been entirely reimagined by the Parisian house Antoinette Poisson, a specialist in dominoterie. It has entirely covered the Nina Ricci bottle with a white lacquer resembling porcelain. On it are drawn numerous birds interwoven with flowers, in a timeless blue toile de Jouy pattern. The whole is also decorated with a gold ring bearing the initials of Nina Ricci, at the neck. Likewise, these same tones are also found on the cardboard box of L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci. Highly poetic, this bottle is available in a single size of 50 ml.
