Mademoiselle Ricci, a fragrant declaration of eternal love The fashion house Nina Ricci was founded in 1932. Its collections revolve around the world of Parisian fashion, and the romanticism of the capital.
The Nina Ricci perfume house draws its inspiration above all from the haute couture designs of the sparkling and whimsical Nina Ricci. Nina, Ricci Ricci and now Mademoiselle Ricci are heavily influenced in their compositions by the famous couturier who founded the house in 1932. Mademoiselle Ricci already had a first life, but thanks to Alberto Morillas, it will be reborn as a precious floral musky bottle sparkling with femininity and joie de vivre.
Mademoiselle Ricci reborn through the talents of perfumer Alberto Morillas
The first version of Mademoiselle Ricci is the result of the fashion collection that Nina Ricci launched in New York in the 60s. The lady wanted to pair a fragrance with her airy and light outfits, so Mademoiselle Ricci and its very green accords were born in 1967. Yet the fragrance did not achieve the expected success and was forgotten for 45 years. Alberto Morillas would bring it back to life through his overflowing creative talents as a perfumer in 2012.
Mademoiselle Ricci thus finds a second life through Alberto Morillas's composition. In this second life, Mademoiselle Ricci draws on the most sparkling and dynamic raw materials to display its extraordinary personality, its boldness and its spontaneity. By exploring all the finest facets of youth, Alberto Morillas offers an original composition with multiple facets.
The Nina Ricci perfume house has proven time and again that it knows how to offer the best perfumes to young women, to demoiselles. Mademoiselle Ricci is once again proof of this, if proof were needed.
Mademoiselle Ricci, a declaration and a perfume of everlasting love, dedicated to elegant, impertinent and irresistibly sensual women. Nina Ricci for Mademoiselle Ricci.
For the fragrance Mademoiselle Ricci, the rose transforms into a delicate wild rose
Mademoiselle Ricci was composed to illustrate the many colorful facets of today's young women. Each raw material is thus tasked with illustrating a character trait typical of the “demoiselle Ricci”.
Thus the top notes composed of wild rose and pink pepper wonderfully illustrate spontaneous freshness and exceptional vibrancy without detracting from the precious elegance of the famous cousin of the rose. Alberto Morillas states on this subject: I wanted a rose that did not smell like a rose, so I set out with the idea of a wild rose. The rose is the noblest flower, the wild rose is spontaneity, and the pink pepper adds the spark.
The heart of Mademoiselle Ricci, composed of a beautiful powdery iris and a Centifolia rose, is meant to symbolize elegance and sophistication. As for the oleander accompanying its floral beauty, it represents the burning, sun-kissed light that young women seek so much.
Finally, the depths of white woods and white musks are meant to evoke the birth of sensuality, but also the soft and cozy warmth in which young women love to nestle, to feel more reassured.
It is very simple: when you smell it, you remember it. Alberto Morillas for Mademoiselle Ricci.
