L'air du Temps by Nina Ricci for Women – 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

Overview

L'air du Temps by Nina Ricci is a timeless amber-floral fragrance for women, offered here as a 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette spray. Since its 1948 launch, the scent has stood out for its graceful balance of warm, inviting notes and delicate florals. The iconic dove on the cap nods to a postwar era of peace and refinement, inviting you to explore a scent that feels both heritage-rich and wearable today.

How the fragrance unfolds

The opening blends spices with juicy peach, Brazilian rosewood, neroli, and bergamot to create a bright, inviting introduction. In the heart, carnations, iris, lily, ylang-ylang, may rose, and orchid develop a lush floral bouquet. The base settles into moss, sandalwood, ambergris, vetiver, cedar, musk, and benzoin, yielding a warm, comforting trail that lingers softly.
