The story behind the bottle.
Les Belles de Ricci by Nina Ricci, launched in 1996 and created by perfumers Nathalie Feisthauer, Jean Guichard, and David Apel, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of fresh, vibrant greenery. The composition opens with tomato leaf and basil, giving way to a heart of cyclamen and freesia, which are underscored by fruity notes like raspberry and orange. This blend creates an unexpected contrast between earthy freshness and sweet fruitiness, making it feel both modern and lasting.
Les Belles de Ricci's top notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure the heart and base notes have ample time to develop. It’s best for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves from fresh to subtly sweet throughout the day.
