Nina Rose: A new apple makes its appearance at Nina Ricci. It was in the mid-1940s, as if to restore joy and happiness to women after the war, that the house Nina Ricci made its appearance in the world of perfumery. Since then, it has embodied femininity, poetry and romanticism throughout the world.
Nina made her appearance in the world of women's fragrances in 2006. The embodiment of a fresh and romantic heroine, Nina immerses us in a wonderful dream navigating between reality and imagination. From her arrival, success was instant. Thus, riding on her renown, Nina Ricci continues to deliver new chapters of her modern-day fairy tale. In 2020, Nina Ricci thus gives birth to Nina Rose, a juice presented, as its name indicates, in a pink apple-shaped bottle. But what about its scent, and how does it manage to renew itself? Here are all the details of its composition.
Olivier Cresp, perfumer associated with the house Nina Ricci
To compose this fragrance, the house Nina Ricci called upon one of the most prolific perfumers of his generation: the talented Olivier Cresp. Particularly famous in the world of perfumery and luxury, he has already collaborated with all the biggest brands on the planet, such as Yves Saint-Laurent, Armani, Dior, Thierry Mugler or Dolce & Gabbana. Moreover, his partnerships with the Nina Ricci brand are countless. Olivier Cresp keeps revisiting Nina and giving her new faces. As always, he strives here to show originality, while still incorporating his own signature touch. Olivier Cresp readily admits to being fond of cedar, and it is therefore quite naturally that this raw material finds its place in the base of Nina Rose.
The highly contrasted scent of Nina Rose
Nina Rose is an Eau de Toilette that contains optimism and boldness. Very refreshing, this fragrance seems to come straight from the Mediterranean. Thus, it brings together numerous raw materials emblematic of that part of the globe. It all begins with a very refreshing, fruity touch. Bergamot and lemon carry here a zesty breath combined with the greener, juicier aspect of pear. At its heart, Nina Rose unfolds all its femininity in a cloud of jasmine, one of the flowers most used in women's perfumery. Other ingredients also reinforce its luminosity. Neroli and orange blossom instantly immerse us in the Mediterranean region, delivering the portrait of a young woman on a beautiful sunny day. It is at this very moment that cedar makes its appearance again. If it is one of Olivier Cresp's favorite ingredients, it is simply because nothing rivals it for structuring a fragrance and giving it more depth and longevity. Here, in a very nuanced breath, dark cedarwood pairs with a brighter white musk, which only reinforces the sensuality and animalic quality of this fragrance. Thus, it seems that Nina Ricci's shy young woman has gradually transformed into a seductress who owns her identity. Temptation is immediate, and it seems almost impossible to resist her charm!
