Eau de Toilette

Inspired by nature, Nina by Nina Ricci is a vegan fragrance as delightfully fresh and tantalizing as a toffee apple. It’s a modern citrus-floral scent, bursting with positivity and a touch of playfulness.

Nina’s iconic apple-shaped bottle is available in an 80ml refillable format.

ALCOHOL DENAT., PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), AQUA (WATER), LIMONENE, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, LINALOOL, CITRAL, COUMARIN, EUGENOL, BENZYL BENZOATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL

Spray your Nina fragrance over the skin, focusing on pulse points, for an instant feeling of irresistible freshness.

Filled with 90% natural origin ingredients, Nina Eau de Toilette includes upcycled Italian lemon, Nina’s signature olfactive note.

These lemons, sourced from fruit rejected from the food industry based on size or appearance, are repurposed for perfumery instead of being thrown away. Every last part of each lemon—including the juice, zest and pulp—is utilized to create a truly zingy citrus essence.

Eau de Toilette

An Eau de Toilette contains a fragrance concentration of approximately 8% to 12%, offering a luminous and airy interpretation of a scent. It delicately accompanies everyday life while leaving a fragrance trail on the skin that lasts for several hours.

In this concentration, the top notes make up around half of the formula. They provide the fragrance with its immediate freshness and radiance.

Eau de Parfum

An Eau de Parfum reveals a more intense and enveloping signature. With a concentration ranging from 12% to 20%, it offers long-lasting wear that can accompany the skin for up to ten hours.

The heart notes form the largest part of the formula. They unfold generously to reveal the full personality of the fragrance. Deeper and more sophisticated, they prolong the emotion of the scent and create a distinctive, elegant, and lasting trail.

An Eau de Parfum accompanies you throughout the day with a powerful trail and long-lasting wear.

Fragrance Concentration

Every fragrance is created from the combination of a precious scented concentrate, often composed of essential oils and a blend of alcohol and water. The concentration refers to the proportion of this scented concentrate within the formula.

There are four main fragrance concentration categories, each influencing the fragrance's longevity and determining its name. This is why an Eau de Toilette and an Eau de Parfum have different concentrations and performance.

Eau de Toilette ou Eau de Parfum ?

Different concentrations are often available within the same fragrance collection.

An Eau de Toilette generally emphasizes freshness and lightness, while an Eau de Parfum expresses greater depth and intensity of the original fragrance. To achieve this, the perfumer may rebalance certain ingredients, adding or removing materials to create more freshness or intensity.

Sometimes, distinct variations also exist within the same concentration category. For example, Vénus de Nina Ricci Eau de Parfum and Vénus de Nina Ricci Eau de Parfum Intense, which enhances the original signature through a deeper, more sensual trail.

These variations allow you to choose the fragrance that best matches your mood, olfactory signature, or desire of the moment.

The olfactory pyramid

Like a flower that gradually opens, a perfume evolves on the skin over time. This evolution is represented by the “olfactory pyramid,” a triangle that illustrates the fragrance’s composition according to its rate of evaporation over time: top notes, heart notes, and base notes.

Top notes: the top notes represent the first 15 minutes of a fragrance's evaporation. They are the first notes to reveal themselves.

Fresh, luminous, and airy, they create the first impression, the one that captivates instantly before fading delicately. As soon as the bottle is opened, they begin to evaporate.

This is the fragrance's opening, its most immediate and fleeting expression.

Heart notes: the heart notes emerge during the following 2 to 3 hours of evaporation. They give the fragrance its character and personality, appearing as the top notes begin to fade.

This is the fragrance's development, its body and trail. It is the moment when the composition fully reveals its identity.

Base notes: the base notes represent the final 4 to 6 hours or more of a fragrance's evolution. They form the enduring signature of the scent and are the most persistent notes.

Warm and discreet, they provide lasting support to the fragrance on the skin. This is the fragrance's character, its final expression, and its signature.

THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE APPLE

Intensity

Inspired by the sweet temptation of forbidden fruit, this mouth-watering citrus-floral fragrance is at once bright, sparkling and playful.

Like the irresistible allure of a delicious toffee apple, refined cedarwood is wrapped in white musk and refreshed with sparkling lime.

The citrus-floral scent of Nina opens with a sparkling duo of Italian lemon and Caipirinha lime. This energizing top gives way to a delicious heart of toffee apple. Coated in crunchy caramel, this gourmand note is balanced with velvety gardenia petals. The perfume’s base notes then reveal a dazzling sensuality. Generous and voluptuous cedarwood hugs rich, warm white musk. A magnetic and modern final accord for this uplifting fragrance.
