Vénus de Nina Ricci

The bottle is made of amber lacquered glass, set with two hand-brushed gold shells, in an Art Deco spirit. It is topped with a glossy black cap of organic shape, engraved with the Nina Ricci logo and designed to evoke a pearl. Nina Ricci places this object within the tradition of Lalique's sculptural bottles and presents it as a figurative bottle, an original symbol of femininity; the house also links this return to craftsmanship to Robert Ricci's vision, for whom a perfume had to be a work of art.

The bottle is manufactured by Pochet du Courval: the amber lacquer covers a glass whose complex shape required a mold with moving parts, while scallop shell-shaped plates, in cold-forged aluminum with a brushed gold finish, are glued to the front and back. The cap is made of Novassu. A press description evokes a multi-faceted amber case and shells brushed one by one by hand.

The 50 and 80 ml sizes are refillable using a 200 ml refill bottle equipped with Techniplast's RT-Twist technology. The refill’s nozzle slides into the bottle’s neck, and both sizes take this refill.
