Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps Nuit Pourpre ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 2 September 2017 6 Comments

Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps Nuit Pourpre

Nina Ricci has launched L'Air du Temps Nuit Pourpre, a new addition to the L'Air du Temps Collection Lumière. L'Air du Temps Nuit Pourpre is a flanker to 1948's L'Air du Temps, and follows L'Air du Temps L'Aurore, which debuted earlier this year.

11.50 p.m. – The night deploys its wings in the moonlight

A flight towards a purple night, the vibrant glow of a night passion, the depths of the night soothed by the moonlight. Nuit Pourpre is a refined, voluptuous and captivating fragrance. A sparkling night, favouring paradoxes, a prelude to an intense, enigmatic perfume.

A chiaroscuro bottle that evokes the mysterious beauty of the queen of the night, embraced by two deep purple feathered doves.

This chiaroscuro accord garners the warm gold of jasmine, in which a few sparks of incandescent pink pepper glisten, illumining a discreet landscape with a bouquet of violets. Then it dives into the heart of the night, while wrapping itself up in a powdery Iris leather, before melting into the silvery shadows of cedar wood. It is the resinous glimmer of styrax, like a moonbeam pearled with patchouli, which then awakens this mysterious sensuality.

Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps Nuit Pourpre is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    The special edition L’Air du Temps fragrances always catch my attention. Thank you for mentioning them here so I don’t miss them. I have not seen them in a store. Perhaps they are boutique exclusives.

      Pretty sure they are not distributed in the US, but I do see them in online stores in Europe.

    A Prix Eau Faux entry? Not bad. Not quite winning standard but doing well. ????
