by Nina Ricci
Nina Ricci's fragrance offers a sweet, fresh, and gourmand profile centered around a candied green apple and praline accord. The opening features crisp citrus notes of lemon and lime, lending a lively and refreshingly tart character that quickly balances into a lush, caramelized apple sensation with a subtle floral touch. The dry down reveals a delicate woody-creamy base anchored by Virginia cedar and soft musk, lending depth without heaviness. Its appeal lies in its universally accessible, uplifting character, evoking a sense of youthful joy and whimsy, suitable for casual wear during spring and summer. Although notable for its charm, longevity is moderate on skin, with a projection that is intimate-to-moderate, making it more suitable for personal or intimate settings than for large gatherings. It performs best in cooler climates and during transitional seasons. While it’s widely regarded as a timeless yet feel-good classic, some find it overly sweet or simplistic, and it may feel unbalanced or jarring on individual skin chemistry. Its popularity continues to shine, especially among those drawn to fresh, playful, and nostalgic scents.
