Nina Ricci Les Belles de Ricci Cherry Fantasy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Aurélien Guichard. Les Belles de Ricci Cherry Fantasy opens with Cassia, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Water Lily, Rose, and Tangerine, and dries down to a base of Red Fruits, Musk, and Cherry. Nina Ricci's Les Belles de Ricci Cherry Fantasy carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive. Some love this as a nostalgic, sweet cherry dream, but others find it screechy, artificial, and ultimately forgettable. Test before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate longevity and soft sillage make it suitable for casual day wear, including office environments where subtlety is key. It's too light and playful for formal events and lacks the seductive depth for a typical date night.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zingy burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and tart blackcurrant, quickly joined by a hint of juicy raspberry. The heart blooms with a soft, delicate cherry blossom, balanced by watery lily and a touch of rose, with a fleeting tangerine sweetness. The dry-down settles into a gentle base of red fruits, a subtle cherry note, and a clean, understated musk.
