Nina Ricci L'air Du Temps Gift Set 50ml EDT + 75ml Body Lotion

Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps Gift Set bundles the 50ml Eau de Toilette with a 75ml matching Body Lotion — a coordinated way to wear and layer one of the most beloved French fragrances of the 20th century. L'Air du Temps is the soft, powdery floral classic created in 1948 by perfumer Francis Fabron, built around a signature spiced-carnation accord and instantly recognisable by its frosted double-dove flacon designed by Lalique.

About Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps

Nina Ricci is a French fashion house founded in Paris in 1932 by Italian-born Maria "Nina" Ricci and her son Robert. After the Second World War, Robert commissioned perfumer Francis Fabron to create a fragrance that captured the new spirit of optimism and freedom — the result, L'Air du Temps (literally "the air of the times"), launched in 1948. Its winged-dove stopper, designed by Marc Lalique, became one of the most iconic flacons in perfume history.

What's in the gift set

• L'Air du Temps Eau de Toilette 50ml — the classic fragrance, ready to spray onto pulse points.
• L'Air du Temps Body Lotion 75ml — a moisturising lotion that lightly perfumes the skin and extends the fragrance's longevity when used underneath the EDT.

Who it's for

L'Air du Temps suits women who appreciate classical floral perfumery — soft, powdery, and unmistakably feminine. The spicy-carnation heart and creamy base of sandalwood, iris and musk give the fragrance a polished, grown-up feel that translates well across daytime and evening wear. Best in spring and autumn, though equally wearable year-round in cooler climates. The gift set format makes it an excellent introduction for someone discovering the fragrance for the first time, or a thoughtful present for a long-time fan.

How to use the set

1. After cleansing or showering, smooth the Body Lotion evenly over the body — its lightly fragranced moisturisation creates a soft base for the EDT to bind to.
2. Once fully absorbed, mist the Eau de Toilette onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows.
3. Layering the lotion under the EDT helps the fragrance last longer on the skin and adds depth to the powdery drydown.
4. Avoid rubbing the wrists together; it bruises the delicate top accord.
