Which Should You Buy?
Ricci Ricci is a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often polarising but adored by its fans. Many consider it a unique, sassy chypre floral with a fruity twist. It's an often-discontinued but still-available gem that smells far more expensive and complex than its price tag suggests.
Curly takes on Nina Ricci's polarising Ricci Ricci - that fizzy, sweet-sour rhubarb floral over earthy patchouli and tuberose. The tart fruity-floral-chypre character comes through; as a budget version the bubblegum-rhubarb opening reads a bit louder and the plush patchouli-rose drydown loses some of the original's depth.
