Nina Ricci Les Belles de Ricci Belle de Minuit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Cécile Matton. Les Belles de Ricci Belle de Minuit opens with Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Heliotrope, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Myrrh. Nina Ricci's Les Belles de Ricci Belle de Minuit carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, spicy-sweet winter warmer that's become a cult classic since its discontinuation. If you can find it, snap it up - it's Christmas in a bottle for many, though some find it a touch too festive for everyday.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Belle de Minuit opens with a juicy burst of orange and blackcurrant, instantly bright and inviting. This quickly evolves into a warm, spiced heart where heliotrope and carnation create a unique, almost gingerbread-like aroma. The dry-down reveals a comforting base of creamy sandalwood, rich tonka bean, and a hint of mysterious myrrh, wrapping you in a cosy, elegant embrace.
