Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci Eau de Parfum

Nina Ricci — the French luxury house founded in 1932 by the Italian-born couturier Maria Adelia Ricci and her son Robert, and celebrated above all for the specific quality of femininity its designs have always most completely and most authentically embodied: feminine but never fragile, elegant but never stiff, romantic but never naive — launched Ricci Ricci in 2009 as the most confident and the most specifically bold expression of the house's most fundamental aesthetic character in its fragrance portfolio of that decade. Composed by Aurélien Guichard and Jacques Huclier — two of the most accomplished and the most consistently respected perfumers working in accessible luxury feminine fragrance — Ricci Ricci was designed as a fragrance for glamorous and urban heroines: a chypre floral of genuine, specifically dark glamour, genuine immediately intoxicating character, and genuine confidence in its own specifically seductive and specifically bold feminine beauty. Its seven notes across three phases create a wearing experience of genuine, bold, and entirely captivating chypre floral feminine glamour. Rhubarb and bergamot in the opening — the rhubarb's sharp, tart, and specifically distinctive green-fruit vivacity giving the composition its most immediately original and most specifically invigorating first impression, and the bergamot's luminous citrus refinement grounding it in something more naturally polished. Datura, Indian tuberose, and tincture of rose in the heart — the most immediately intoxicating, the most specifically glamorous, and the most genuinely and continuously beautiful phase of the wearing experience, three florals of distinct and specifically complementary character creating together the most compelling and the most genuinely captivating floral heart in the Nina Ricci feminine portfolio. And patchouli and sandalwood in the base — the most naturally and the most specifically appropriate chypre base for a composition with Ricci Ricci's ambitions of dark, earthy, genuinely sensual, and specifically glamorous feminine lasting character. It is, as the source copy's own description most accurately and most evocatively states, best applied before an evening out with someone you want to come close — and it earns this description through seven notes of genuine, bold, and entirely captivating chypre floral feminine excellence.

The opening of Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci is a two-note tart-citrus accord of considerable immediate character and considerable immediately distinctive, lively feminine energy. Rhubarb provides the most immediately distinctive and the most specifically original quality of the opening — a sharp, slightly tart, and specifically vivid green-fruit quality that is simultaneously immediately recognizable and distinctly unlike any simpler citrus or conventional fruit opening note. Rhubarb's quality of sharp, slightly tannic, and specifically green-fruit vivacity gives the opening its most immediately original and its most specifically lively first impression — the ingredient most directly responsible for the composition's quality of genuine, immediately bold, and specifically invigorating first impression that distinguishes Ricci Ricci from more conventionally sweet feminine openings. Bergamot accompanies the rhubarb with its characteristic cool, slightly aromatic, and luminously complex citrus quality — the most refined of available citrus opening materials, simultaneously polishing the rhubarb's sharper, more immediately tart character with something more immediately distinguished and more naturally elegant. Together, rhubarb and bergamot create a top note combination of genuine, immediate, and entirely lively tart-citrus feminine freshness — simultaneously immediately bold and specifically, charmingly tart in the most Nina Ricci-appropriate way.

The heart of Ricci Ricci is the composition's most immediately intoxicating and its most genuinely glamorous phase — the three-floral combination of datura, Indian tuberose, and tincture of rose that gives the fragrance its most immediately distinctive and its most specifically captivating mid-wear character. Datura — the night-blooming moonflower with its warm, slightly creamy, and specifically exotic floralcy of genuinely nocturnal and genuinely intoxicating character — provides the most immediately distinctive and the most specifically original floral element of the heart. Its quality of simultaneously warm and slightly narcotic, simultaneously immediately beautiful and distinctly more exotic and more genuinely mysterious gives the heart its most immediately original and its most genuinely intoxicating dimension. Indian tuberose accompanies the datura with the most immediately rich and the most specifically sensual white floral quality available in fine feminine fragrance — tuberose's famously honeyed, slightly heady, and specifically intoxicating character in its Indian-grown expression being simultaneously richer, more intensely honeyed, and more genuinely and continuously beautiful than standard tuberose materials. Tincture of rose completes the heart with a warm, slightly complex, and specifically distinguished rose quality of considerable immediately beautiful character. Together, datura, Indian tuberose, and tincture of rose create a heart of extraordinary immediately intoxicating beauty and the specific quality of sweet, sultry, and specifically seductive feminine mid-wear florality.

The base of Ricci Ricci is warm, earthy, and genuinely sensual — a two-element foundation of patchouli and sandalwood that gives the composition its most lasting and its most warmly earthy chypre dry-down character. Patchouli provides the most immediately distinctive and the most specifically earthy quality of the base — its warmly complex, slightly dark, and richly organic earthy character giving the dry-down its most immediately distinctive and its most genuinely chypre-appropriate quality of warm, earthy, and specifically sensual feminine depth. Patchouli in the base of a chypre floral feminine of Ricci Ricci's ambitions is simultaneously the most naturally appropriate and the most immediately powerful choice — the ingredient most directly responsible for the dry-down's quality of specifically dark, warmly earthy, and genuinely and continuously sensual feminine lasting character. Sandalwood accompanies the patchouli with clean, creamy, and specifically beautiful woody warmth — simultaneously grounding the darker patchouli in something more immediately clean and more naturally distinguished. Together, patchouli and sandalwood create a base of genuine earthy warmth, genuine immediately distinguished depth, and genuinely beautiful lasting character.

Ricci Ricci belongs to the Chypre Floral fragrance family — and it represents that family with the specific quality of bold, intoxicating, and genuinely glamorous feminine dark elegance that Guichard and Huclier's seven-note composition and Nina Ricci's most fundamentally confident creative vision together most completely and most authentically deliver. The rhubarb-bergamot opening gives it its most immediately tart and most specifically invigorating first impression; the datura-Indian-tuberose-tincture-of-rose heart gives it its most immediately intoxicating and its most specifically glamorous mid-wear character; and the patchouli-sandalwood base gives it the warm, earthy, and genuinely sensual dry-down that makes the full wearing experience of Ricci Ricci as continuously and as specifically compelling as the inner diva it was designed to reveal.

Fall and winter are Ricci Ricci's most naturally magnificent seasons — the patchouli-sandalwood base is most warmly earthy and most specifically sensual in cooler conditions. For evenings out, date nights, formal occasions, and any moment calling for genuine glamour and genuinely seductive feminine presence, it wears with the authority of a composition built for exactly those moments.
