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.
Remember: in 2006, the house of Nina Ricci gave birth to an extraordinary, timeless composition: Nina. It was then an olfactory heroine, absolutely enchanting, as if straight out of a fairy tale. Its success was immediate and Nina is, to this day, still considered a legendary fragrance. In 2019, the story continued to be written and, in a surge of gourmand character, Nina Ricci created a new juice named Nina Rouge. As an even more intense version of this fragrance, Nina Ricci introduces us to Nina Extra Rouge. But what about its composition? What lies behind this red bottle resembling a candy apple?
The bright and luminous top notes of Nina Extra Rouge
Nina Extra Rouge is a fragrance that takes flight on infinitely tangy, bright and sweet top notes. Raspberry, whose note is reproduced in the laboratory, unfolds a juicy breath, emblematic of red fruits. Here it is combined with blackcurrant, whose buds are mainly grown in Burgundy. Its scent, for its part, is greener, slightly bitter, woody and animalic. This very expensive raw material undeniably places Nina Extra Rouge within the realm of fine perfumery. To this is also added grapefruit. A guarantee of extreme freshness, it accentuates the bitter, zesty side of this fragrance, while counterbalancing the sometimes very intense gourmand character of this juice.
The floral, feminine heart of Nina Extra Rouge
At its heart, Nina Extra Rouge lets all its femininity speak and is won over by the undisputed star of women's perfumery: rose. A cult ingredient of feminine fragrances, it has been used since the dawn of time. Indeed, even Queen Cleopatra was already using it in Ancient Egypt. Rose is an ingredient that has stood the test of time without ever going out of style. Women adore it and Nina Extra Rouge makes ample use of it. To bring it more lightness and a more refined character, Nina Ricci adds a touch of tea.
When the gourmand character of childhood finds its way into the sillage of Nina Extra Rouge
Finally, at its base, Nina Extra Rouge clearly evokes the world of childhood and funfairs of the past. It is at this moment that it unfolds all its gourmand character. It thus leaves behind, in its sillage, a literally irresistible olfactory note. For this, it relies on praline. After all, what better than this treat to evoke childhood and make our mouths water? It is also combined with vanilla, another smooth and rounded ingredient, slightly more animalic. Behind its carefree facet, it would seem that the Nina Ricci woman has also preserved a strong dose of glamour.
