According to Woman's Wear Daily, the iconic L’Air du Temps created in 1948 by perfumer Francis Fabron (housed in its Lalique flacon) is launching its first flanker after more than fifty years. Named L’Air de Nina Ricci the 'reinterpreted floral' is targeted to the youth market- 18-25 yr old young women.
Givaudan perfumers Louise Turner and Michel Girard are the noses; top notes of freesia, honeysuckle and violet leaves, heart notes are magnolia, jasmine sambac and Bulgarian rose notes, and in its base notes are palisander wood and patchouli.
My first instinct is, but if ain't broke why fix it? But we won't judge until we sniff. (No word on the material used to create the flacon, but it looks like glass to me)
