The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Nina Ricci and crafted by Alberto Morillas, Mademoiselle Ricci is a floral woody musk fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. The composition opens with wild rose and pink pepper, creating an initial burst of freshness and spiciness. As it settles, raspberry and rose hip add layers of sweetness and depth, while nerium oleander and laurels introduce a subtle green note. The base notes of musk, white wood, violet, amber, and cedar provide a warm, enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced scent that evolves throughout the day. The initial spiciness fades within an hour, giving way to the warm base notes. This fragrance pairs well with both casual daytime wear and elegant evening attire.
