Nina Ricci Les Gourmandises de Nina is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Les Gourmandises de Nina opens with Lemon, settles into a heart of Passionfruit and Piña Colada, and dries down to a base of Gardenia, Caramel, and Praline. Nina Ricci's Les Gourmandises de Nina carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive and a touch confusing, this Nina Ricci flanker promises a gourmand hit but delivers a more ambiguous, often tart-leaning fruit cocktail. Not for everyone, but loyal fans of the 'apple' bottles might find a summer treat.

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 Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate performance and generally light, fruity profile make it ideal for casual daytime wear, especially in warmer weather. While it's too playful for formal events, it's appropriate enough for an office setting if applied sparingly and could work for a relaxed date.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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 zesty, bright lemon that immediately sets a fresh tone. As it settles, a medley of tropical passionfruit and a subtle piña colada accord emerges, creating a sweet and tangy heart. The drydown attempts a gourmand twist with soft caramel and praline, though some noses find it remains primarily fruity with a hint of gardenia, rather than a full-on sugary dessert.
