Nina Ricci Mademoiselle Ricci is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Alberto Morillas. Mademoiselle Ricci opens with Rose, Pink Pepper, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rose Hip, White Oleander, and Bay Leaf, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Nina Ricci's Mademoiselle Ricci carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive blend of powdery rose and sharp pink pepper, Mademoiselle Ricci is either a creamy, romantic dream for some or a headache-inducing throwback to 'old-fashioned' scents for others. Test before you commit, as skin chemistry is everything 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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and soft, clean musky-rose profile make it office-safe and ideal for daytime casual wear. The elegant, romantic vibe also lends itself well to date nights, though its powdery nature might feel a bit too 'vintage' for very formal events. It's definitely not for sport.

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

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • 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

Mademoiselle Ricci unfurls with a lively, slightly tart burst of raspberry and the unmistakable zing of pink pepper, before settling into its floral heart. The dominant rose is soft and powdery, supported by creamy musk and a clean violet touch. A quiet woody base of cedar and amber anchors the composition, creating a scent that's both delicate and enduring.
