The perfume which made Nina Ricci's fragrances famous, L’Air du Temps from 1948, will be presented in three new luxurious limited editions Aube, Zénith and Crépuscule within the Collection Lumière in December 2016. "A flight towards the zenith, in broad daylight, a brilliant moment. The refined and sensual spirals of the Lalique crystal are embraced by white-feathered and hand-painted golden doves. An exceptional bottle in a numbered edition, Le Zénith pays tribute to the original mythical fragrance born in 1948. L’Air du Temps was already a revolutionary composition at the time and still remains so today. Sunny and radiant. It is the first in the family of spicy florals in the history of perfumery by Francis Fabron. A legendary perfume since its birth. Composed of a bunch of dazzling golden flowers, this feminine and powdery mixture focuses on the natural essences of rose, iris, jasmine and sandalwood, which give the fragrance its brilliance and vigour. At its heart, peppery, slightly bitter carnation gives it a singular note. An unchanged, jealously guarded trail that evokes eternal spring and the intensity of the very special radiance of the sun at its peak." - a note from the brand. L'Air du Temps Zénith is a special edition of the original composition in a Lalique crystal bottle, representing the highlight of the day. Announced as bright and sunny, the scent brings the well known accords of rose, lily, jasmine, carnation and sandalwood. It is available as a 45 ml Eau de Parfum at the price of €1650.
