Created in 1948, L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci is an ode to peace, love and freedom—values embodied by the two entwined doves perched atop the perfume’s iconic bottle. Composed during the joyful time that followed the war, the fresh scent blends jasmine, rose and carnation, celebrating the essence of femininity with pure optimism. As the very first spicy-floral fragrance in the history of perfume, this timeless scent has become a veritable olfactive icon.
