Composition of the fragrance
The full, sweet, and completely intoxicating gardenia along with carnation will captivate you from the very first moment, and spicy undertones give the fragrance even more personality. Later, the rich and noble rose comes in, accompanied by the heady jasmine from Grasse. Woody notes and iris reveal themselves last to ensure a long and sensual drydown.

About the brand Nina Ricci
The fashion designer Nina Ricci always expressed femininity, sophistication, and minimalism in her designs. Her haute couture fashion house was established in Paris in 1932 and Parisians have been wearing her fine creations ever since. In collaboration with her son, the designer soon started offering Nina Ricci fragrance which soon became an integral part of the French brand’s portfolio.
The company’s first perfume Nina Ricci Coeur Joie was introduced in 1946 and the second one, L’Air du Temps, has been popular since 1948. The essence contained in the famous bottle topped with a crystal dove is a symbol of love and freedom which has become an iconic fragrance of the brand. Its popularity cemented the international success of the fashion house and it continues to inspire all Nina Ricci designs and fragrances.
