Nina: A candy apple just waiting to be bitten into! How to follow up on the house’s bestseller L’Air du Temps, the Nina Ricci fragrance of gentle, romantic women? The answer was to keep offering them the same dreamlike, romantic world while modernizing the fragrances
The fragrance Nina by Nina Ricci is famous for its gourmand scent, evoking the smell of a candy apple. Imbued with innocence, it recalls the carefree spirit of childhood while also playing on floral sensuality and seduction. Nina is the fragrance of a woman-child with an enticing smile and sparkling eyes. While its imagery is not unrelated to its success, it must be acknowledged that the bottle is ideally designed to catch the eye. So, shall we take a closer look at its visual?
Nina Ricci adopts an apple-shaped bottle
First, let us note that the fragrance Nina does not have a conventionally shaped bottle. Indeed, it resembles an apple. Of course, this fruit was not chosen at random. The apple is one of the most universally resonant foods there is. For Christians, it is the forbidden fruit of the Bible. Present in the Garden of Eden, the apple is a call to temptation that one is meant to try to resist. Yet it seems that resistance is futile! Likewise, in the animated film Snow White, the apple is the one thing the heroine cannot resist. Time and again, it evokes supreme delight. Here, through its bottle, Nina Ricci suggests that it is impossible not to be tempted by its fragrance. As proof, since 2006, it has been one of the best-selling feminine fragrances in the world!
The poetic pink color of the Nina bottle
To perfect the beauty of its lovely apple, Nina Ricci chose a soft pink hue. It graces the glass wall of the bottle and wraps its visual in softness and romanticism. What is more, it suggests to women that Nina is a very feminine fragrance. Indeed, from a very young age, girls are associated with pink. It is therefore also a way of recalling childhood. Nina is unmistakably a fragrance that seems to have stepped straight out of a fairy tale.
A touch of shimmering metal for even more magic
To further amplify the magic and enchantment of this visual, the whole is topped with a shimmering silver cap. This lends a more contemporary edge to the fragrance while giving it a touch of glamour. Nina’s cap, for that matter, is not very conventional. It is formed of a small ball attached to several leaves. From then on, the Nina apple seems to have escaped from some mysterious, enchanting tree. The name Nina Ricci, meanwhile, is engraved on one of its leaves.
For even more enjoyment, note that the fragrance Nina comes in several spray bottle sizes. It is available in sizes of 20, 30, 50 or 80 ml.
