The history of Nina Ricci’s brand is as florid as the fragrance of some of the perfumes produced by this company. Its founder, Maria Njelli, was born in Italy, in 1883. The family called her Nina, and she will give this name to her company in the future. The girl received the surname Ricci from her husband, who, however, quickly left her with her young son and without a livelihood. In order to survive, the future star of the fashion world worked almost around the clock, and this allowed her to become co-owner of the Rafen house.
Few people know that this lady opened her own business at the age of fifty during the Great Depression in 1932. Despite the crisis state of the economy, the clothing models offered by the company were so successful that the collections became famous not only in America but also in Europe. Moreover, the prices of exquisite dresses and suits were quite acceptable.
Nina Ricci began to offer perfumes much later. Namely, in the 40s. Since then, the fashion house has released dozens of fragrances, each of which has found admirers around the world. The famous "Kor Jouy", released in 1946, is still not discontinued. This perfume is considered classic and has a pleasant floral aroma. Other perfumes released by Nina Ricci - “The Aroma of Time” are mentioned in T. Harris’s work “Silence of the Lambs” and have been produced since 1948. The composition of this interesting perfume includes more than 25 different scents that together create this unique composition. The brand “Aroma of time” was re-released by various masters several times. So, in 2013, perfumer under this name was created by perfumer Olivia Putman (also for Nina Ricci).
Perfume "Apple" is the only perfume whose history is associated with the tragedy of a young and beautiful girl. The fact is that the “Red Apple” series was advertised by a model from Kazakhstan with the exotic name of Ruslan Korshunov. For her magnificent hair she was called the “Russian Rapunzel”. Shortly before its 21st birthday, a model fell out of a building window in Manhattan, having just returned from a fashion show in Paris.
Perfume Nina Ricci "Apple" red series are very popular among Russian women. Someone finds in it the sweetness of fruit, someone - freshness, someone apple sourness. In the reviews you can read that the perfume is cute, girlish, lightweight and at the same time very persistent. The time that he holds on the skin can reach 8 hours, and for some it does not disappear even after bathing.
It's no secret that the Russian market is awash with fakes. Nina Ricci Apple Series perfumes are no exception. Therefore, I would like to note that the company released the following common versions of the fragrance: red, pink and gold "Apple". The company also has a very limited release of green "fruit", which is willingly copied in Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, as if it were Nina Ricci.
Perfumes of this company are issued for representatives of the strong half of humanity. This group includes aromas such as the Oriental perfume “Filis” (first released in 1984, still in production), the floral green “Ricci Club”, which men have been using since 1989, the aromatic green “Signorichchi” (1965) and woody -chip aroma “Memory of a man”, created in our century (2002).
