Premier Jour
by Nina Ricci
Premier Jour by Nina Ricci is a delicate, airy floral fragrance that opens with a bright blend of mandarin orange and sweet pea, creating a soft, inviting citrus-floral burst. The heart features tender gardenia and orchid notes, layered with a warm, creamy vanilla and musk base, enhanced by subtle sandalwood. The result is a subtly sweet, feminine scent that feels elegant, comforting, and quietly sophisticated—like a soft embrace or a dreamy spring morning. It’s known for its gentle, non-assertive character, making it ideal for everyday wear, particularly during spring and summer. While the sillage and longevity are modest, many find its quiet grace and clean florals deeply appealing, evoking memories of tranquility, innocence, and seasonal renewal. The fragrance performs most successfully on sensitive skin chemistry, where its softness integrates beautifully.
