The third fragrance in the Belles de Nina line, Nina Ricci is a house with a gift for captivating romantic women with a somewhat starry-eyed spirit. The house's fragrances are indeed unmatched when it comes to enchantment.
Bella, the new apple from Nina Ricci The house of Nina Ricci has a gift for transporting people into an ever-wondrous universe. Each of its fragrances resembles a fairy tale heroine. In 2006, the Nina saga began with the creation of a feminine fragrance. The perfect embodiment of a fresh, sparkling young woman, it was followed a few years later by Luna, a new Belle de Nina, more impertinent and mischievous. Today, the story repeats itself once again and Nina Ricci unveils its third heroine. She is called Bella and appears, from a distance, to be the most audacious of them all! For the occasion, Nina's original apple transforms and now takes on a lovely green hue.
Nina Ricci's apple-shaped bottles
For its new fragrance Bella, the house of Nina Ricci chose to present a bottle of vibrant intensity and dreamlike character. As usual, and following the previous Nina and Luna, Bella comes in an apple-shaped bottle. Bella stands as the worthy heir to Fille d'Eve, the very first bottle designed by the house Lalique, in 1952, for Nina Ricci. So why choose the apple? Simply because it is one of the most symbolic shapes on the planet. The apple carries universal significance and is tied to numerous myths. It represents the tempting tree. Moreover, from Eve to Venus, from Pomona (goddess of agriculture) to Atalanta, and to Mary (often depicted with the child holding an apple), the history of this fruit is closely linked to women. Thus, Bella is a perfect embodiment of femininity. Moreover, the rounded curves of this fruit naturally echo the generosity and softness of women. For the occasion, Bella's apple is decorated with gold leaves, topped with a black pearl. Also worth noting: a lovely ladybug is depicted in relief on one of its leaves. Is it not said that this is a good luck charm?
Green, the star color of the Bella fragrance
In parallel, after choosing pink for Nina and blue for Luna, the house of Nina Ricci opted this time for green. This color, one can well imagine, was not chosen at random. Green, like many colors, carries a very particular meaning. Considered in its most natural sense, it is a symbol of birth and youth, echoing the bud of a plant reborn each spring. In this sense, Bella becomes a source of renewal. However, green is also the color that represents the more fragile leanings of youth, such as inexperience and naivety. Could Bella still be a young woman full of carefreeness? Finally, and this is perhaps one of its most widespread symbolic meanings, green connotes hope. This meaning comes from Dante's Divine Comedy. In this vision, Bella projects toward a bright future and appears as an excellent omen.
