In-Depth Summary
Francis Fabron created L’Air du Temps in 1948 as a hopeful expression of peace, freedom, and renewed femininity after the war. Its luminous floral-spicy structure became a Nina Ricci signature, while Robert Ricci’s belief that fragrance, name, and presentation should form one harmonious whole helped make it an enduring classic.
