The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Nina Soleil by Nina Ricci is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance crafted by perfumers Amandine Clerc-Marie and Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with the brightness of bergamot and mandarin orange, creating an effervescent freshness that immediately draws you in. This citrusy opening gives way to a heart of gardenia and vanilla, which adds a layer of sweetness and warmth. The base notes of cedar and whipped cream ground the fragrance, offering a soft, powdery finish that is both comforting and sophisticated.
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of this fragrance. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so the creamy heart and woody base will carry it through the day. This one is best for daytime wear when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
