Packaging

The packaging contains 50 ml of fragrance. The bottle stopper is adorned with two intertwined doves, representing peace and love. The design is attributed to Marc Lalique and in 2000 received the designation "Perfume Bottle of the Century".

The bottle thus combines a 50 ml volume with a design carrying a specific symbolism of peace and love.

About the Brand

Maison Nina Ricci was founded by Robert Ricci in Paris in 1932 as a gift to his mother. The fashion house's first fragrance was Coeur de Joie, created in 1946. The brand's philosophy combines craftsmanship with creativity, and the Nina Ricci woman is described as independent, bold and capable of expressing herself freely.

L'Air du Temps thus appeals to women who feel an affinity with the combination of a creative approach and free self-expression.
