World War II caused a decrease
in new perfume creations, as well as a decline
in the quality of perfume presentations. After
the war, the perfume industry was re-established,
and many new perfumers emerged. Christian Dior
and Nina Ricci both released works of art. "Miss
Dior" by Christian Dior was presented in
an elegant clear crystal Baccarat bottle. Dior
used a classic look that was elegant and luxurious.
Nina Ricci was known for feminine and romantic
creations. L'Air du Temps was released in 1948
and sold in a sunburst shaped bottle. The stopper
was decorated with a dove. The lid of the box
was lined with white silk and depicted a woman
and a flying dove. The 1951 box was in the shape
of a birdcage covered in yellow silk. A battery
was supplied to illuminate the birdcage.
