She then founded the house of the same name in 1932. Its clean cuts, its choice of materials such as silk, lace, ribbons, and its attention to detail made the house of Nina Ricci a glamorous house, elegant and representative of Parisian chic. In 2006, Robert Ricci dedicated to his late mother, “Nina”, and the saga began. In 2010, the house presented “Nina L’Élixir”, a particularly stunning love potion.
Princess Nina
The first fragrance “Nina” was the beginning of a true fairy tale. “Nina” is a magical and gourmand universe marked by the emblematic apple-shaped bottle, which has since become iconic. From the start, “Nina” proved to be a princess from a modern fairy tale, playful and carefree. “Nina” evolves in a world of magic and enchantment. Since then, “Nina” has declined its fragrance into many magical characters. Through the fragrances, Nina grows up, asserting herself with nuance and subtlety. While “Nina l’Élixir” is a much more intense reinterpretation of the original, the fragrance is also meant to be more sensual and more sophisticated. With “Nina l’Élixir”, the princess has grown up and become a femme fatale, impossible to resist.
The sensual notes of Nina l’Élixir
“Nina l’Élixir” was created by the talented Olivier Cresp. “Nina l’Élixir” opens on the fruity and tangy notes of lemon, lime and red fruits. “Nina l’Élixir” then evolves toward an ultra gourmand heart composed of caramel, cedarwood and apple, wrapped in the opulence of jasmine. A true concentrate of pleasure, “Nina l’Élixir” offers a more rounded, sensual base thanks to the presence of cedarwood, amber and musks. As for the bottle, it naturally takes up the main codes of its predecessors. The apple is no exception and undergoes a new transformation. The apple-shaped bottle was inspired by that of “Fille d’Ève”, created in 1952 by Robert Ricci and Marc Lalique in 1952. With “Nina l’Élixir”, the apple takes on a deep metallic red gradient. It is enhanced with a cabochon and champagne gold leaves.
More intense than “Nina”, “Nina l’Élixir” is a mysterious and sensual love potion. Since 2006, Princess Nina has continued to evolve and grow. From fragrance to fragrance, she becomes a woman, without ever losing her magic and her carefree spirit. “Nina l’Élixir” is a more intense reinterpretation of the original. Its more powerful composition delivers irresistible effluvia, making Nina a femme fatale.
