The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1971, Bigarade by Nina Ricci is a Chypre fragrance that has become synonymous with its distinctive aldehydic and mossy notes. The composition opens with bright citrus and fresh floral scents before settling into an earthy base of moss and musk. This blend creates a dynamic interplay between freshness and depth, making it a defining scent from the era.

How to wear it

Apply Bigarade to pulse points for the best effect. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s essential to let the fragrance develop on your skin over time. Best worn in cooler weather when the earthy base can truly shine.
