About This Perfume
Nina Ricci L'Air du Paradis comes across as sunlit passion fruit with lime, powdery florals. It opens with passion fruit and kaffir lime, moves into jasmine, frangipani and Japanese mahonia and settles on solar note and woody notes. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects strongly and fills a room.

- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
