L’ AIR DU TEMPS (The Air of the Moment) is the second women’s fragrance and the most popular one released by NINA RICCI PARFUMS.

NINA RICCI used to say that perfume is an art, not a commodity.

Robert Ricci used to say that L’ Air du Temps is a small olfactory miracle.

L’ Air du Temps is a refined fragrance, a pleasure for the wearer alone; it is not a fragrance for showing off.

In the first half of 1980, NINA RICCI belonged to the ORLANE Group, whose counter sold its products.

An exceptional package (that accepts a refill), in an off-white (cream) shade, with a decorative border displaying all the details of the fragrance.

The (REFILLABLE) packaging and glass bottle were designed by Marc Lalique (a French glassmaker) and manufactured by Pochet du Courval under the HP trademark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury fragrances.

The product was distributed in Greece by SPEL SA Perfumery (SPYROS LITOS – PHARMACIST), 7 PALAION PATRON GERMANOU ST. – KLAFTHMONOS SQ. – ATHENS, and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.

With Robert Ricci’s death in 1988, the dream effectively came to an end in the early 1990s.

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products that have the same box, appearance, and name; we are talking about completely different products. As the saying goes, you can’t compare apples and oranges.
