Now, when it comes to romanticism and dreaminess, the house of Nina Ricci is a true star! Each of its perfumes seems imbued with magic.
Created for the very first time in 1987, the perfume Nina by Nina Ricci was imagined as a work of art, relying on delicacy, poetry and timelessness. Now, it must be acknowledged that this feminine essence has become a true legend... Modernized in 2006, the perfume Nina never stops making headlines. Far removed from fleeting trends, it lets a touch of absolutely irresistible gourmand character float through the air. In 2022, it transforms into a new edition named Nina Soleil. So, what recipe might this apple-shaped bottle tinted a bright yellow be hiding?
The fresh, zesty opening of Nina Soleil
Nina Soleil by Nina Ricci is a perfume that is particularly bright and sun-kissed. Now, this can be felt in its top notes. Its composition opens with the scent of citrus, fruits that are very present in the Mediterranean basin and that only grow in regions of the globe bathed in sunshine. Nina Soleil by Nina Ricci contains more precisely bergamot. Resulting from the crossing of the bitter orange tree and the lemon tree, it is a sparkling, fresh and floral raw material. Highly sought after by perfumers, bergamot immediately brings a touch of pep to this essence. Here, it is paired with mandarin. A source of vitamins, this ingredient emblematic of the eaux de Cologne of old is a symbol of vitality and energy. The scene is set: Nina Soleil is a very optimistic essence for women!
The floral, creamy heart of Nina Soleil
At its heart, Nina Soleil aims to become increasingly romantic. Now, what could be more poetic than adding a strong floral dose at its center? Nina Ricci therefore relies here on gardenia. Also called Cape jasmine, this plant is as beautiful as it is popular for its scent. Many people associate its fragrant breath with a combination of cream and vanilla. Gardenia brings to Nina Soleil a slightly sweet and opulent touch. Always very elegant and balanced, it alone releases the entire dreamlike atmosphere of a summer evening. Moreover, its creamy, gourmand side is enhanced by another ingredient. Nina Soleil also contains a whipped cream accord. Light and milky, this raw material immediately makes one's mouth water!
Nina Ricci treats itself to a final woody, vanilla touch
This gourmand, suave sensuality continues into the base of this perfume. Indeed, the vanilla facet of the gardenia is further amplified by an addition of vanilla. Also nicknamed the village grocer, it comes from an orchid and is one of the most widely used ingredients by perfumers. At once animalic, suave, fruity, woody and gourmand, vanilla is rich in nuances and brings a more enigmatic and languid facet to Nina Soleil. The longevity of this airy perfume is finally boosted by a woody contribution of cedar. Like a Proustian madeleine, it releases a scent close to that of a pencil. It plunges us into the atmosphere of a sawmill filled with wood shavings and offers more structure as well as better longevity to this feminine perfume.
