“L’Air du Temps” by Nina Ricci for Women 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray Tester is a timeless spicy-floral fragrance that pairs vivid carnation and gardenia with elegant rose, jasmine, creamy sandalwood, and powdery iris.

Carnation and gardenia create a distinctive floral opening with warm, clove-like spice. Centifolia rose and Grasse jasmine form a rich, graceful heart, while Mysore sandalwood and iris provide a smooth, softly powdery foundation. Its refined character suits daytime occasions, the office, lunches, celebrations, and elegant year-round wear.

Bottle Description: L’Air du Temps is presented in a sculptural clear glass bottle with graceful curves and two intertwined doves forming its iconic cap. As a tester, the exterior packaging may differ from the standard retail presentation, and the decorative cap may not be included.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for anyone seeking a classic floral fragrance with spicy carnation, expressive rose and jasmine, and a creamy sandalwood finish.
