6 Most Popular Perfumes of all Time

6. L’Air du Temps, Nina Ricci

L’Air du Temps is now almost 70 years old and still remains a top seller at perfume outlets across the world. This fragrance, created by perfumer Francis Fabron, is marketed as a light, floral bouquet marked by the scents of iris, jasmine, and gardenia. However, rather than its bloomy overtones, it is more famous for the beautiful bottle in which it is packaged – Lalique designed it, with its iconic white dove lid, and worked exclusively for The House of Ricci for several years. Interestingly, Hannibal Lecter mentions L’Air du Temps as the favored fragrance of Clarice Starling in the notorious film Silence of the Lambs.
