A blend of rhubarb zest,
bergamot, moonflower, tuberose, centifolia rose, patchouli and sandal wood - the floral fragrance is bottled in a gorgeous pink bottle. It’s hard not to fall in love with Ricci Ricci, a Nina Ricci perfume, which captures the sophistication of the urban women. Ever since L’Air du
Temps was created in 1949, Nina Ricci has become the ultimate in perfume, both among men and women. Other classic Nina Ricci perfumes have included ‘Farouche’, ‘Capricci’, ‘Fleur de Fleurs’ and ‘Eau de Fleurs’; each with its own unique Lalique crystal pure perfume bottle. Beginning with perfume, over the years the French luxury brand has branched into cosmetics, apparel, accessories, jewellery and watches too. Peter Copping’s first ready-to-wear
show for Spring 2010 took the label in another direction,
repositioning Nina Ricci as
a go-to house for standout
gowns with an edge of romantic
past, while keeping an eye on wearability. |
