In this article, we will thoroughly study the aroma of Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci. What does this tautology mean in the title? Perhaps the creator wanted to emphasize the fragrance belonging to a famous brand, to hint that it has incorporated all the features of a fashion house? This is not the first tautology case in the name of perfumes from Nina Ricci.
Suffice it to recall Nina Ricci Nina - a red apple from a large family of similar aromas. But, it should be said that “Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci” stands apart from the now untwisted series Les Belles de Nina, which is updated every year with a new flanker.
This is a special flavor. And not only because the bottle is not in the shape of an apple. He is not like the rest.
But at the same time, the fragrance leaves no doubt of belonging to the famous brand. Below you will find a description of the perfume composition, as well as reviews about it by ordinary customers.
The story of the creation of Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci
“First there was an apple” - this is how we briefly describe the birth of perfume. Indeed, the notes of sweet datura in the heart of the fragrance were not noticed unless at all completely noses smelling.
But the first bulk red "apple" of 2006, which marked the appearance of the Les Belles de Nina series, belonged to the group of fruit and flower aromas. Ricci Ricci, who saw the light three years later, had completely different creators.
And most importantly, another message. “Ricci Ricci” is the aroma of a pure city dweller, a resident of a metropolis, who feels in a stone jungle like a fish in water.
In the evening, when neon lights are lit, she puts on a small black dress and applies the scent of Ricci Ricci. Perfumes are classified as chypre, and only then as floral.
The creators of the composition were perfumers Jacques Ucllier and Aurelien Guichard. They tried very hard that the aroma did not resemble the notorious red apple, which for the third year in a row was a bestseller.
But it is clear that the laurels of Jacques Cavalier and Olivier Cresp, the inventors of Nina Ricci Nina, did not give them rest. Let us first test the fragrance of 2006 to understand what makes it related and what distinguishes it from the younger brother in chypre performance.
"Nina Ricci Nina"
As already mentioned, the perfume, born in 2006, shocked the world of beauty with both a bottle in the form of a red apple and its contents. Feminine aroma opens with citrus.
But not “masculine”, as in the cologne, with the bitterness of grapefruit, but as if candied. This is a lemon from Amalfi and lime.
An apple reigns in the heart, as hinted at by the packaging of the aroma. Yes, not simple, but the varieties "Granny Smith." It is juicy, sweet and very fragrant.
Paired with chocolate pralines, the apple conjures up associations with the winter holidays. This cozy idyll of the hearth is complemented by fragrant peony and sweet dope.
At the base of the composition you can feel apple blossoms, virgin cedar and musk. Users note that perfumes will appeal to those who love sweet perfumes with fruity notes.
The composition opens gradually, gently. Citrus fruits sound feminine, and peony is felt throughout this symphony.
Similar to Nina Ricci Nina, the fashion house itself repeated the fragrances back in 2009, 2010 and in 2017. And this is only in the line of multi-colored “apples”.
The theme of fruits (most often pears and red berries), sweets and woody notes is also repeated in other perfumes by Nina Ricci. This is “Love in Paris”, “Premier Jure” and at L'Air du Temps.
"Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci": a description of the perfume line
As mentioned above, Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci belongs to the chypre floral group. And by this he stands out from the large family of Les Belles de Nina.
The bottle makes it special. It resembles not a realistic apple, but as if stylized. The “shank” of the fruit is made in the form of a wide ribbon that crowns the ball with a coquettish bow.
The color of the bottle is dark lilac, with soft tints of shades closer to purple. The overture of the aromatic symphony opens with citrus accords of bergamot, which are complemented by sour rhubarb.
In the heart of perfume all kinds of roses dominate. The creators of "Ricci Ricci" abandoned the peony. But they used tincture of a centifolia rose and crimson tuberose, sweetening it all with a dizzying dope.
The base of the composition is woven from dry warm notes of sandalwood and patchouli. But what did the noses of users smell?
To them, the aromatic composition is presented in a completely different way. Buyers claim that along with the dope dominant in perfume, there is also a delicate mirabilis flower, which is popularly called the Night Beauty.
Who created the “Ricci Ricci” from “Nina Ricci”
Down with the girl's bashfulness! Modesty adorns only those who have nothing to brag about!
Such is the slogan and even the life credo of the heroine of the fragrance Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci. The impudent beauty, born among the stone jungle of the metropolis, is not going to spend her whole life in the shade.
She wants to declare herself, realize her bold plans, reach heights. Her optimism attracts others. Naughty citrus fruits turn a city dweller into a playful schoolgirl.
But the stupefying flower arrangement does not allow it to be treated indulgently, like a child. She can be serious, thoughtful.
Although - in the mood - she allows herself and a romantic mood. The aroma, as users assure, is relevant, dynamic, and sets up positive and vibrant activities.
In a word, it was created for the city and its inhabitants. Their age does not matter. The main thing here is the character of the mistress of the fragrance.
Other Features of Ricci Ricci
This perfume is created for the cool season, for daytime use. But even in the summer, bergamot gives citrus coolness, and the “night beauty” (according to users) perfectly refreshes the overall tone.
The concentration in which this Nina Ricci fragrance is l'eau de Parfum. Spirits are persistent, just one drop applied to the wrist is enough to smell all day. The users called the loop average.
Perfumed water is available in volumes: 5 ml (probe), 30 and 50 milliliters. Buyers called the price of 2,500 thousand rubles for a large bottle adequate to the quality of perfumes.
Description of similar aromas. Ricci Ricci Dancing Tape
Now we will conduct a comparative review of other perfumes from Nina Ricci and not only the Apple series. This is “Premier Jure”, “Moon”, “Moon by Bless”, “Elixir”.
But first of all, it is impossible to ignore the sister and even the twin of our heroine. This was born in the same year and created by the same authors composition Ricci Ricci Dancing Ribbon.
It completely matches the Ricci Ricci base of sandalwood and patchouli. Heart notes are also very similar. This is a mix of ordinary roses and tuberose.
But the upper chords are slightly different. Rhubarb is preserved, but raspberries sweeten its acid. There is no trace of citrus.
On the contrary, a perfume created for winter reveals warm ginger. It looks like "Dancing tape" on the "Ricci Ricci" and packaging. But the bottle is transparent, and the red ribbon not only crowns the stalk of the stylized apple with a bow, but also belts the entire bottle several times.
Premier Jura
Users often compare the heroine of our story with the fragrance Nina Ricci Premier Jour. These spirits appeared much earlier, in 2001, when there was still no talk of the "apple series".
And on the First Day ingredients, it’s not at all like Ricci Ricci. In the overture you can hear sweet peas with juicy mandarin, in the heart are gardenia and orchid, and the base is woven from woody notes, mainly sandalwood, flavored with vanilla and musk.
What makes users testing Ricci Ricci recall the 2001 fragrance? Perhaps its focus.
The heroine of the "First Day" hides her heart, tender as an orchid, behind the recklessness of mandarin citrus notes. And the base of the two aromas is so soft, warming and noble that you involuntarily feel the relationship between the Premier Jure and the Ricci Ricci.
Nina Ricci Luna fragrance description
In 2016, the Nina Ricci apple collection was replenished with another fruit - this time in a delicate blue color. Absolutely different perfumers worked on “Moon” - Christoph Rainod and Marie Salaman.
And the perfumes created by them belong to the class of oriental vanilla. What makes us compare Ricci Ricci with the contents of a Tiffany-colored apple?
This is the overall sweetness of the composition. As in the heroine of our story, “Moon” is opened by citrus fruits. This is Tangerine, Orange Blossom, and Lime.
Instead of rhubarb in the overture, sour forest berries are heard. In the heart of the aroma there is, as it should be for products of the apple series, fruit.
But this is a pear. It is complemented by creamy caramel, jasmine and immortelle. The base of the perfume is very noble, but also sweet. Madagascar vanilla with white musk is complemented by sandalwood and licorice.
The flanker of these perfumes - the lightweight scent of Nina Ricci Luna Blossom - is pretty hard to find in Europe. It was created in 2017 for the Asian market.
The pale lilac “apple” is fraught with a delicate fruit and flower composition of notes of the Nashi pear, bergamot, jasmine, peony, magnolia, musk and cedar.
Elixir
Like Nina Ricci Luna, the feminine fragrance L'Elixir is a wonderful mixture of flowers and sweetness. In the overture you can feel energetic and cheerful citrus - lemon from Amalfi.
In the heart of the fragrance, the floral notes of jasmine are firmly intertwined with fruity - sour red berries. Sweet musk reigns in the perfume base.
The bottle of white-red color gives the name “Elixir” to the “apple series” from “Nina Ricci”.
