Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Aurélien Guichard and Jacques Huclier. Ricci Ricci opens with Rhubarb and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Datura, Rose, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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.

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
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

It pulls you in with rhubarb, tart and zesty, before a flamboyant bouquet of rose, tuberose, and datura blossoms. This heady floral heart is then grounded by earthy patchouli and creamy sandalwood, creating a rich, opulent, and slightly mischievous aura. A touch of bergamot adds a fleeting brightness to the otherwise deep and enduring composition.
