Nina Extra Rouge, a new candy apple signed Nina Ricci. Since it exists, perfumery has told us stories and plunged us into places both real and imaginary. This artistic field seems designed to make women dream and carry them to a distant elsewhere. With perfumery, the boundaries of time and space fade away.
In 2006, Nina Ricci gave birth to an enchanting and feminine fragrance: Nina. Today, this olfactory composition is considered the house's icon. Undeniably, it is Nina Ricci's best-seller, a creation that keeps reinventing itself year after year. In 2021, the story continues and the fairy tale gains an additional chapter. Nina Ricci gives birth to Nina Extra Rouge, an intense and gourmand fragrance that plunges us, with a single breath, into a world both childlike and glamorous. First bright and luminous, Nina Extra Rouge becomes more floral at its heart, before ending with a duo of praline and vanilla. As for the bottle, it once again reinterprets Nina Ricci's iconic apple.
The apple, a forbidden fruit well known to Nina Ricci
Like all the fragrances in the Nina collection, Nina Extra Rouge comes in an apple-shaped bottle. Indeed, this has been inseparable from the entire Nina saga since its creation in 2006. It must be said that Nina Ricci could not have found a better symbol than this one to embody temptation. In the Catholic religion, the apple is the symbol of the forbidden fruit. It is into an apple that Adam and Eve bite at the risk of many ills. In mythology, the apple is the indirect source of the Trojan War. In Roman antiquity, the apple represents the globe and the sun. The apple therefore truly has a universal significance. The stage is set: women will be unable to resist the temptation of the fragrance Nina Extra Rouge.
A timeless apple... Like a candy apple
Here, it is not just any apple... Perfectly matched to the name borne by this feminine fragrance, it is tinted an opaque, radiant red. Through this color, Nina Ricci wishes to evoke the candy apple, as if straight out of a funfair from our childhood. It thus highlights the carefree, gourmand quality present in this fragrance. But that's not all... Red is also a symbol of passion, glamour and the forbidden. And these are precisely all the elements found in the fragrance Nina Extra Rouge.
The new finishes of the Nina Extra Rouge bottle
Nina Extra Rouge has a visual fairly close to the previous Nina Rouge from 2019. However, a few details differ between the two fragrances. Nina Rouge has a glossy lacquer finish. Nina Extra Rouge is entirely matte. Its appearance resembles velvet. The front face of Nina Rouge has been bitten into and reveals a white mark. This is entirely absent from the Nina Extra Rouge bottle. With this one, the apple remains intact. Finally, a small red fabric ribbon embellishes the neck of Nina Extra Rouge. Attached to a white charm bearing the initials of Nina Ricci, this small cord recalls the world of pastry-making. It is, in a way, the cherry on top.
