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 Sofia Chen-Martinez, Fragrance Trend Analyst · · Updated

Sofia tracks the cultural pulse of perfume — what TikTok wears, what Hollywood smells like, what auction houses bid on. Based between Paris and LA.

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.
