Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci EDP Review: A Velvet Embrace

A lush white floral with a dark, woody soul – perfect for cool evenings and intimate moments.

By Vivir · · Updated
In the landscape of late 2000s perfumery, Nina Ricci launched Ricci Ricci to capture the spirit of the modern, urban heroine. It is a fragrance that doesn't just sit on the skin; it commands the room with a sense of playful confidence and undeniable chic. As we look back at this release, it remains a standout for its ability to marry dark, mysterious undertones with a bright, effervescent top. At Vivir, we often talk about the 'urban uniform'—the scent that defines your presence during a night out in the city. Ricci Ricci fits this profile perfectly. It is the olfactory equivalent of a velvet dress paired with high-heeled boots, embodying the duality of sweetness and strength.
