Nina Ricci Nina Soleil

In this review
There is a singular joy in the first breath of spring, that moment when the air loses its bite and begins to hum with the promise of warmth. Nina Ricci’s Nina Soleil EDT attempts to bottle this precise sensation, offering an olfactory excursion into a sun-drenched garden where citrus groves meet the creamy indulgence of a French patisserie.
As the latest iteration in the storied Nina apple collection, Nina Soleil distinguishes itself by pivoting away from the darker, more sugary compositions of its predecessors. Instead, it leans into a luminous, whipped-cream aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. It is a fragrance that does not demand attention, but rather invites one to lean in closer.
