The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Mademoiselle Ricci L'Eau by Nina Ricci is an ode to the elegance and freshness of a modern woman. Perfumer Alberto Morillas crafted this composition around Italian jasmine at the top, leading into a heart of peony and rose, before settling on a base of musk, woody notes, and cedar. The fragrance embodies a delicate balance between floral sweetness and subtle woodiness, making it suitable for both day and night.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The Italian jasmine at the top is bright but short-lived, so let it bloom for a few minutes before venturing out. The woody base notes gradually emerge, providing warmth throughout the day.
