Story of the fragrance:
In designing Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps, the perfumer Calice Becker was inspired by the floral ingredients of the original fragrance from 1940s, and created a brand new, unique perfume whose composition perfectly captures the first rays of sun in the morning.
The unique and unmistakeable bottle evokes a gentle fresh breeze, a whiff of love brought on the wings of a white dove. It also expresses the magical essence of every sunrise.
