The story behind the bottle.
Les Belles de Ricci Amour d'Amandier, launched by Nina Ricci in 1999 and crafted by perfumer Jean-Pierre Béthouart, is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that embodies the sweet essence of almond blossoms. It opens with the vibrant zest of kiwi, followed by the delicate notes of almond blossom and marzipan, creating an initial burst of fruity sweetness. The heart introduces heliotrope and vanilla, which blend seamlessly into a warm, powdery base of white musk and sandalwood. This composition is quintessentially Nina Ricci — elegant yet playful, with a touch of gourmand indulgence.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting impression. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial fruity sparkle throughout the day.
