Nina Fleur, a feminine fragrance to make floral prints more pop
Who said that floral motifs and flower-based fragrances were too classic? With Nina Fleur, Nina Ricci defies prejudice and combines the art of bottle design, fashion and perfumery, to create an innovative and pop object! Highly inspired by the house's runway shows, Nina Fleur plays on two complementary and feminine shades of pink, to create a bold and joyful print. The chromatic blend of Nina Fleur draws inspiration from contemporary ready-to-wear and delivers all the spirit of the Nina Ricci runways. All that remains is a freer and more modern vision of nature, as if the flowers were directly revealing an explosion of joy to us!
The fresh and luminous scent of Nina Fleur by Nina Ricci
To create this fragrance, Nina Ricci called upon one of the most renowned perfumers on the planet: Olivier Cresp. What is more, note that he is no stranger to working with the house. Here, he chose to create an invisible link between fashion and perfumery: with Nina Fleur, he wished to translate into fragrance that sensation of modern sun-kissed femininity seen on the Nina Ricci runways; the result is a joyfully optimistic floral and fruity fragrance. With Nina Fleur by Nina Ricci, everything begins with fruity, lively top notes, based on Italian lemon and granny-smith apple. The heart of this fragrance, meanwhile, becomes more sun-kissed and luminous. It relies for this on orange blossom and neroli. Cedarwood gives Nina Fleur more longevity. Finally, its musky base amplifies its sensuality.
Nina Fleur, an eco-responsible creation
Finally, if there were only one great quality to set this fragrance apart from all others, it would undoubtedly be its 100% eco-responsible aspect, both in terms of its formula and its bottle. Nina Fleur by Nina Ricci comes in a cardboard box certified FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). This certification guarantees the sustainable origin of the wood fibers used for its packaging. Its glass, meanwhile, is 20% recycled and 100% recyclable. In its large size, the Nina Fleur by Nina Ricci bottle is refillable. Its composition is made up of 92% raw materials of natural origin. In the strictest respect for animals, it is a vegan fragrance. Finally, Nina Fleur by Nina Ricci also relies on upcycling. In other words, it uses fruit set aside from the food trade for purely aesthetic reasons.
