The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Le Paradis de Nina by Nina Ricci was launched in 2010 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance opens with a bright citrus blend of orange and mandarin, followed by the delicate sweetness of red apple and African orange flower. The heart introduces white florals like gardenia and heliotrope, while vanilla and almond notes create a powdery, gourmand base that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply Le Paradis de Nina in layers to allow its various facets to unfold — start with one spray on your wrists and décolleté. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the powdery base will carry you through the day more effectively than the initial burst of fruit.
