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.
The newest fragrance included in the CK One line, by the Calvin Klein fashion house, arrives in January 2022 and celebrates the timeless spirit of the CK One fragrance. CK Everyone Eau de Parfum, as the brand claims, cares about the environment and has a vegan formula made from ethically derived natural ingredients.
Ceylon tea is a type of black tea from Sri Lanka, it is known for its high degree of caffeine and for having a particular form of production in which its leaves are rolled up and then roasted in charcoal, in this way it is possible to obtain a tea with an extremely aromatic and very strong aroma and flavor.
This exotic component not widely used in perfumery, is one of the main ingredients of the new Ck Everyone Eau de Parfum, a fragrance that intensifies the fresh sensations of black tea and watery notes present in the CK Everyone Eau de Toilette, an eco-friendly and genderless perfume that was presented in 2020 as the evolution of the iconic essence of the 90’s, CK One.
Perfumers Franck Voekle and Gabriela Chelariu joined Alberto Morillas, who was the creator of CK One and CK Everyone, to achieve a new unisex fragrance that preserves the tradition and essence of the use of tea in the perfumes CK One (green tea) and CK Everyone (black tea) for the American fashion house.
Top Notes: Sweet Mexican Orange Heart: Ceylan Black Tea Base: Haitian Vetiver
The composition of CK Everyone Eau de Parfum opens with an explosion of juicy, organic orange freshness from Mexico. At the heart of the fragrance, ethically sourced Sri Lankan black tea brings powerful intensity. This key ingredient continues the tradition of tea notes in the CK One family, paying homage to the green tea as the core of CK One and the blue tea in CK Everyone Eau de Toilette, followed by a sensual woody trail of Vetiver from Haiti.
This new interpretation uses the same bottle of its predecessor, the Ck Everyone Eau de Toilette, a design that in turn is inspired by the packaging of its relative the Ck One, acquiring slight modifications in its finishes such as the change of color of its elastic and its lid, which cease to be white to be painted black. The elastic logo band, in the spirit of Calvin Klein underwear, can be worn in many ways, such as a wrist or hair band.
Both the glass flacon and the outer packaging are made from recycled materials. The clear glass contains 10% post-consumer recycled material and the folding carton 30% post-consumer recycled material. Both materials can be recycled again.
Priddy The Opp
Photographed by Glen Luchford, models Cara Taylor and Parker van Noord, singers Priddy The Opp, Eliot Sumner, MLMA and skateboarder and actor Evan Mock are the faces selected by Calvin Klein to be ambassadors for the entire Ck Everyone fragrance collection.

The very first shop, located at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, opens onto the street like a two-part Italian Renaissance or Flemish master’s painting. Three friends had found the ideal stage for their chic little bazaar of fascinating finds as well as the perfect name for it; Diptyque.
It’s tricky to spell, because the i and the y are cheeky letters. Mistakes were so common in the beginning that the Maison had to list it under both spellings in the phone book. Diptyque has such a refined ring to it, and in every language it is chic, eclectic, poetic, esthetic and graphic.
The secret to Diptyque’s singularity is the distinct chemistry between three unique individuals: Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet. When they met, it sparked a chain of creativity, that continues to resonate today.
They met through friends of friends. Christiane graduated from l’Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, Desmond was a painter. Together they designed fabric and wallpaper for ultra-chic British Maisons. Then, some other friends introduced them to Yves Coueslant, who had escaped an unlikely career in banking to follow his heart and work… in theatre. The three friends quickly became inseparable. In 1961, they opened an unusual boutique with a daring plan: listen to their intuition and only do what they love. Nothing dampened their friendship as their business grew, and diptyque spread the creations born of this incomparable friendship all around the world.
This year French Maison Diptyque is celebrating its 60th anniversary: an opportunity to immerse yourself in everything that has inspired the Maison since its creation. A cavalcade of youthful creativity, 2021 will be dedicated to graphic design, encounters, nature, travel and curiosity. A year that will be filled with collections and events.
To mark its anniversary, the niche perfume house presents the new perfume Eau Rihla in the spring of 2021. The fragrance is inspired by the spirit of the Middle East, named after the Arabic Rihla wood which means ‘journey’. It is dedicated to the 14th century globe-trotting merchant, Ibn Battuta – a prominent Arab Moroccan-Berber traveler and explorer – and his travels throughout the known world.
Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin drew his inspiration directly from the Maison’s co-founder Desmond Knox-Leet’s leather-bound sketching notebook and Ibn Battuta’s leather luggage. Weathered and worn, the leather keynote is “an invitation to travel”, says Pellegrin. An exclusive to the perfume house molecule, extracted from rare cedar wood, forms the heart of the fragrance, layered with musk and precious iris.
Top notes: raspberry, pink pepper, saffron Heart: leather, iris, cedar Base: vanilla, musk
A bazaar of spices – much like the ones encountered by Ibn Battuta in far-flung lands – linger, is depicted with notes of saffron, pink peppercorn, and vanilla. Diptyque’sparticular signature, an unusual combination of notes, or ‘olfactory accidents’, emerges as an energetic, sweet raspberry opening note.
The flacon’s artwork is unmistakably Middle Eastern, an etched illustration signed by Safia Ouares showing an iconic Bedouin landscape of desert dunes, date palms, a falcon and camels. Another special touch – the oval label is a glided gold, a different route from Diptyque’s usual black and white branding.
Available as an exclusive for the region, Eau Rihla will be available only in the Middle East from May 1st, until June 2021, when it will release to the international market.
Diptyque Eau Rihla is available as a 75 ml Eau de Parfum at Diptyque Boutiques and selected stores worldwide. This year we can expect more special editions on the occasion of the anniversary. Come into the beautiful world of Diptyque.
