Spicy clove/carnation bouquet with a bit of honeyed white florals and fruit to sweeten it up and add complexity.

If this perfume was a drink, it would be the driest possible prosecco you could think of, so dry that the spices and lilac stand out in a rather harsh way. One of those perfumes that needs to blend in with your soul rather than built you into an image of desire. I definitely see a strong woman, sprayed with L'Air while walking her baby in the park in a European autumn in Prague, why in Prague, because it has a sleepy and smoky experience like the beautiful city, a gorgeous capital that is immersed in a powerful but mysterious scent of history. The bottle is very pretty, I think they've managed to retain the quality of this one over the years.

It's not overpowering but it is powdery, slightly floral and very feminine, and I have been asked what perfume I'm wearing from complete strangers too. I am 30 years old, and even though this is an old perfume, I think it's a nice professional perfume for someone in my age group. The vintage version will definitely remind you of your grandmother, however it will reveal a side of her you never knew. i get a dry aldehyde type of light (but substantial) powdery soapy clean scent, i first thought Prada d'iris vibes.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.This tells a story for me all the vintage Ricci tells a story of a woman who walks around a garden under the sun and comes across all sorts of florals and plants. The bottle features a luminous white porcelain-style finish and is encased in a midnight blue box decorated with a gold motif, embodying the delicate details of artisanal craftsmanship. It is sold as a cheapie now, and while I can't attest to the quality of the current iteration, my vintage version is beautiful. Symbolising love, elegance and freedom, Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps Eau de Parfum was developed in 1948 after the World War II, and remains one of the greatest fragrance creations today.
