A beautiful vintage presentation of Nina Ricci’s legendary L’Air du Temps Eau de Toilette, held within its unmistakable sculptural dove bottle.

Introduced in 1948, L’Air du Temps was created as a celebration of peace, love, and renewed optimism following World War II.

That symbolism appears throughout the bottle: a large dove spreads its wings across the rounded glass flacon, while intertwined doves form the ornate silver-toned stopper.

The iconic dove design originated through the collaboration of Robert Ricci and Marc Lalique and remains one of the most recognizable images in fragrance history.

The bottle retains most of its original golden fragrance. L’Air du Temps is known for its elegant spicy-floral composition, traditionally centered around carnation, gardenia, rose, jasmine, iris, and warm woods. Its amber coloring and small amount of natural evaporation reflect the age and character of this vintage formulation.

The underside is marked Nina Ricci, 100 mL / 3.3 fl oz, Made in France, along with the original alcohol-by-volume marking.

Please note that the percentage marked on the bottom refers to the fragrance’s alcohol content—not its remaining fill level.

A substantial and nostalgic display piece for collectors of vintage perfume, Nina Ricci fragrances, French vanity bottles, and dove-themed décor.
