In this article, we will study Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci in depth. What does this tautology mean in the title? Perhaps the creator wanted to emphasize that the fragrance belongs to a well-known brand, to hint that it has absorbed all the features of a fashion house? This is not the first case of tautology in the name of perfumes from Nina Ricci.
Suffice it to recall Nina Ricci Nina is a red apple from a large family of similar fragrances. But, it should be said that "Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci" stands apart from the currently promoted Les Belles de Nina series, which is replenished every year with a new flanker.
This is a special fragrance. And not only because the bottle is not in the shape of an apple. He is not like the others.
But at the same time, the fragrance leaves no doubt that it belongs to a famous brand. Below you will find a description of the perfume composition, as well as reviews of ordinary customers about it.
The story behind the creation of Nina Ricci Ricci fragranceRicci
"First there was an apple" - this is how you can briefly describe the birth of perfume. And indeed, the notes of sweet dope in the heart of the fragrance were not noticed except by completely devoid of smelling noses.
But the first pouring red "apple" of 2006, which marked the appearance of the Les Belles de Nina series, belonged to the group of fruity-floral fragrances. Ricci Ricci, which came out three years later, had completely different creators.
And most importantly, a different message. "Ricci Ricci" is the fragrance of a pure city dweller, a resident of a metropolis who feels like a fish in water in the stone jungle.
In the evening, when the neon lights come on, she puts on a little black dress and wears Ricci Ricci perfume. Perfumes are classified as chypre, and only then as floral.
The creators of the composition were perfumers Jacques Uglier and Aurelien Guichard. They have taken great pains to ensure that the fragrance does not resemble the proverbial red apple, which has been a bestseller for the third year in a row.
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's first test the fragrance of 2006 in order to understand what makes it related and what distinguishes it from the younger brother in chypre.
Nina Ricci Nina
As already mentioned, the perfume, born in 2006, shocked the beauty world with both the bottle in the form of a red apple and its contents. The feminine fragrance opens with citrus.
But not "masculine", as in cologne, with grapefruit bitterness, but as if candied. It's an Amalfi lemon and lime.
In the heart, as hinted at by the packaging of the fragrance, an apple reigns. Yes, not simple, but varieties of "Granny Smith". It is juicy, sweet and very fragrant.
Paired with chocolate praline, the apple evokes winter holidays. This cozy home idyll is complemented by fragrant peony and sweet dope.
Apple blossom, virginian cedar and musk are felt in the base of the composition. Users note that the perfume will appeal to those who love sweet perfumes with fruity notes.
The composition unfolds gradually, softly. Citrus fruits are feminine, and peony is felt throughout this symphony.
Fragrances similar to Nina Ricci Nina were repeated by the fashion house in 2009, 2010 and 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 from Nina Ricci. This is "Love in Paris", "Premier Jur" and in L'Air du Temps.

As mentioned above, Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci belongs to the chypre floral group. And this is what makes him stand out from the large family of Les Belles de Nina.

The color of the bottle is dark lilac, with soft tints closer to purple. OvertureThe aromatic symphony opens with citrusy bergamot, complemented by sour rhubarb.
All sorts of roses dominate the heart of the perfume. The creators of "Ricci Ricci" abandoned the peony. Instead, they used centifolia rose tincture and crimson tuberose, sweetened with a dizzying dope.
The base of the composition is woven from dry warm notes of sandalwood and patchouli. And what did the noses of users smell?
They imagine the aromatic composition in a completely different way. Customers claim that along with dope, which dominates the perfume, there is also a delicate mirabilis flower, which is popularly called the Night Beauty.
For whom Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci was created

She wants to make herself known, realize her bold plans, reach heights. Her optimism attracts others. Naughty citrus fruits turn a city girl into a naughty schoolgirl.
But the intoxicating flower arrangement does not allow her to be treated condescendingly like a child. She can also be serious, thoughtful.

Description of similar fragrances. "Ricci Ricci Dancing Ribbon"
Now we will conduct a comparative review of other perfumes from Nina Ricci and not only the "apple" series. These are Premier Jure, Luna, Luna Blessom, Elixir.
But above all, it is impossible to ignore the sister and even the twin of our heroine. This is the composition Ricci Ricci Dancing Ribbon, born in the same year and created by the same authors.
It completely matches the "Ricci Ricci" base of sandalwood and patchouli. The heart notes are also very similar. This is a combination of ordinary rose and tuberose.
But the upper chords are somewhat different. The rhubarb is preserved, but its acidity is sweetened by raspberries. Not a trace of citrus.
On the contrary, a perfume made for winter opens with warm ginger. similar"Dancing Ribbon" on "Ricci Ricci" and packaging. But the bottle is transparent, and the red ribbon not only crowns the stem of a stylized apple with a bow, but also girdles the entire bottle several times.
Premier Jur
Users often compare the heroine of our story with Nina Ricci Premier Jour. These perfumes appeared much earlier, in 2001, when there was no talk of an "apple series" yet.
And in terms of ingredients, "First Day" is not at all like "Ricci Ricci". The overture features sweet peas with juicy mandarin, the heart is gardenia and orchid, and the base is woven of woody notes, predominantly sandalwood, spiced with vanilla and musk.
What makes Ricci Ricci users think of the 2001 fragrance? Perhaps his focus.
The heroine of "The First Day" hides her tender, like an orchid, heart behind the recklessness of citrus notes of mandarin. And the base of the two fragrances is so soft, warming and noble that you can't help feeling the kinship between Premiere Jure and Ricci Ricci.

In 2016, the Nina Ricci apple collection was replenished with another fruit - this time in a delicate blue color. Quite different perfumers worked on Luna - Christophe Rainod and Marie Salamagne.
Yes, and the perfumes they created belong to the class of oriental vanilla. What makes us compare Ricci Ricci to the contents of a Tiffany apple?
This is the overall sweetness of the composition. As inthe heroine of our story, "Moon" is opened by citrus fruits. This is tangerine, and orange blossom, and lime.

Pale lilac "apple" conceals a delicate fruity-floral composition of Nashi pear, bergamot, jasmine, peony, magnolia, musk and cedar.
Elixir
Like Nina Ricci Luna, L'Elixir for women is a wonderful blend of flowers and sweetness. The overture has an energetic and cheerful citrus - lemon from Amalfi.

The bottle of white and red color indicates that the "Elixir" belongs to the "apple series" from "Nina Ricci".
