The new bottle of L’Air du Temps in Paris at Antoinette Poisson
In addition to its intoxicating scent, L’Air du Temps in Paris at Antoinette Poisson will also seduce you with its innovative bottle, yet celebrating the French tradition. To design this bottle, Nina Ricci chose to work with the A Paris house at Antoinette Poisson. Founded in 2012, it brings to the fore a forgotten profession, dating from the 18th century: decoration with domino paper. At the time, it was a question of printing decorative papers using engraved blocks of wood. Once the paper was printed, it was highlighted by hand or stenciled and this is how color was added. For this edition, the A Paris house at Antoinette Poisson has chosen to decorate Nina Ricci’s bottle with a toile de Jouy pattern, drawing doves and flowers. Of course, it is a nod to the old bottle of L’Air du Temps. Its bucolic patterns are also elaborated in a color of yellow gold.
