Nina Soleil, the new delightful summer fragrance from Nina Ricci, and a good alternative to dessert

Nina Soleil, the delightful new fragrance from Nina Ricci in the iconic apple-shaped flacon celebrates optimism and sun. Following last year’s sweet and fruity Nina Extra Rouge, the newest fragrance cherishes creamy gardenia, making it gourmand and solar at the same time.

Without question: Sweet pieces from the bakery have an enormous happiness potential for all self-proclaimed Willy Wonkas of this world, and thus also the potential as a culinary beautifier, since positive feelings can lead to improved blood circulation, which in turn has a beneficial effect on the complexion.

On the other hand, and this is no secret either, sugar makes us look old pretty quickly when eating the delicacies mentioned above leads to a loss of control, if you know what I mean. And this is exactly where a fragrance novelty comes into play, which, thanks to the delicious formulation in the truest sense of the word, offers itself as a calorie-free alternative during a temporary sugar embargo and by the way also boosts the anticipation of the summer.

Created by Olivier Cresp and Amandine Clerc Marie, the new and enticing limited edition fragrance from Nina Ricci, the Eau de Toilette Nina Soleil celebrates an oh-so French guilty pleasure: Chantilly cream. This lightly sweetened whipped cream delicately imbues the fragrance with a velvety, gourmand feel. Flaunting light, gourmand notes, this citrusy floral fragrance is a celebration of spontaneity and ‘joie de vivre’.

Top notes: mandarin, bergamot
Middle notes: Chantilly cream, gardenia
Base notes: vanilla, cedarwood

The composition starts luminous and bright. The zingy mandarin and bergamot accentuate its light freshness, whilst the luminous and powdery gardenia underscores its sweetness. Its charm is positively magnetic, particularly since a soft cedarwood and a decidedly appetising vanilla complete this infusion of delights.

Nina Ricci’s iconic apple-shaped flacon arrives in sunny and optimistic yellow shade, seemingly having soaked up an abundance of summer rays. Its glossy finish instantly evokes an irresistible tangy sugar glaze.

Yellow and white stripes emerge where the apple’s fleshy contours appear to have been crunched; a design that also adorns the box. These charming stripes are evocative of the parasol canvases that bedeck the shores of seaside towns each summer.

Nina Soleil is a really nice summer fragrance that makes it easy for our inner WIlly Wonkas to find a healthy balance between ‘treat yourself’ and ‘now you should take a break’ in the best mood.

Nina Soleil is available as a limited edition 50ml Eau de Toilette at selected stores worldwide and at the French Maison’s official website starting mid-January 2022. Come into the beautiful world of Nina Ricci.

Chloé Atelier des Fleurs

French Maison Chloé presents Atelier des Fleurs, a collection of nine exclusive fragrances designed to be combined in layers of two or three so you can create your own personal floral signature blend. With this collection, Chloé invites you to create your own olfactory bouquet of different fragrant flowers and aromatic leaves.

Composed of natural ingredients and floral, aromatic or woody notes, they can harmoniously combine with one another.

Nature is a precious source of fragrant flowers and aromatic leaves. Drawing on this wide variety of natural bouquets, the French fashion house has collaborated with six renowned perfumers to create the Atelier des Fleurs line. This prestigious collection comprises nine perfumes for women, each with a unique signature rooted in the perfumer’s memory. The fragrances are designed to work in harmony in endless combinations.

 

Rosa Damascena by Amandine Clerc-Marie

As a young girl, I enjoyed creating all sorts of concoctions from our garden in Normandy. There was this delicate scent of fresh petals and the thrill of the leaves rubbed together – it was such a crisp, spontaneous rose.

Amadine Clerc-Marie

Inspired by the rose petals and leaves that perfumer Amandine Clerc-Marie brewed in her family garden as a child, this floral Eau de Parfum reveals a crisp rose scent. The lightly spiced floral signature exudes a sense of botanical purity.

 

Hibiscus Abelmoschus by Michalon Bertier

With its sunny, slightly fruity scent and its soft petals, hibiscus is the queen of the Polynesian gardens of perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier’s childhood. The warm radiance of hibiscus blossom brightens this fruity Eau de Parfum with opulent and musky notes.

 

Cedrus by Quentin Bisch

Behind this woody Eau de Parfum, with either tender and subtle notes or warm and musky ones, lies the perfumer’s childhood memory of a playful lover’s gift: a bouquet of branches that Quentin Bisch’s father gave to his mother.

 

Verbena by Mylène Alran

This aromatic Eau de Parfum takes perfumer Mylène Alran back to her parents’ garden, where she would rub verbena between her hands as a child to keep the scent with her all day. Verbena brings a delicate freshness of lemon for a naturally radiant fragrance.

 

Herba Mimosa by Amandine Clerc-Marie

This powdery Eau de Parfum evokes perfumer Amandine Clerc-Marie’s intense emotions when discovering mimosa in Grasse when she was 20. Mimosa unveils tender, woody and vegetal notes.

 

Magnolia Alba by Louise Turner

Louise Turner transcribed the plump and slightly lemony notes of Magnolia blossoms from her native England. She created a smooth Eau de Parfum, unveiling the fresh, almost creamy scent of Magnolia Petals.

 

Neroli by Sidonie Lancesseur

For this interpretation of neroli, perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur let the memory of a trip to Seville be her guide: the orange blossoms exuded smooth and deliciously refreshing scents warmed by the sun. Neroli takes us on a true olfactory journey with the comforting and addictive floral accents of this lightly honeyed Eau de Parfum.

 

Jasminum Sambac by Louise Turner

For this velvety Eau de Parfum, Louise Turner thought of the exquisite jasmine sambac she smelled on Mother’s Day in Bangkok, where it is the gift of choice for that occasion. The delicate jasmine petals bring soft and sunny notes to the fragrance.

 

Lavanda by Quentin Bisch

This Provencal Eau de Parfum captures Quentin Bisch’s childhood vision of his mother walking from the heat into the cool shade of their garden, a bunch of lavender in her arms. Bisch revisits the scent with a highly modern twist, while enhancing every facet of lavender – from aromatic freshness to full-rounded, sun-drenched notes.

The elegant pleated glass flacons are topped with an ivory cap that appears to be carved in stone. Touches of gold at the neckband and label trim enhance the light hue of each Eau de Parfum.
