Nina Ricci
Nina Nina Ricci
Nina Ricci launched Nina in 2006, a fragrance for women created by Christian Dussoulier, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, and Olivier Cresp. The opening is bright and sharp with Amalfi Lemon and Lime, offering a clear, sparkling citrus burst. This initial freshness soon meets a fruity sweetness as Granny Smith apple emerges, its crispness complemented by the nutty, sweet warmth of praline. Peony adds a soft, delicate floral touch, while datura contributes a deeper, slightly narcotic floral facet, balancing the lighter notes. The dry down settles into a woody and musky base. Apple Tree notes extend the fruity theme, grounded by Virginia Cedar for a clean woodiness, and musk providing a soft, clean skin feel. The character is cheerful and sweet, with a fresh, fruity core. It suits daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer, for casual or bright, optimistic settings.
