Review: Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci

Wow that title's a mouthful isn't it? My first version was "Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci" haha.

They have an interesting tagline too:

Ricci Ricci is an urban heroine.
She is glamorous and audacious.
She has a secret power: her fragrance – symbolized by her ribbon.

Now I don't have a ribbon to symbolize my secret power but I do have this fragrance~!

This is my first fragrance purchase ever and I chose to wait until The Bay's Holiday Girl Time Gala to purchase it since I think they give lots of gifts during that time.



This is the giftset I bought which cost $78CAD. It contains a shower gel, body lotion, and the eau de toilette itself.

This is again a sweeter fragrance but again very floral. I could get all technical but I really don't care for all that, I base preference on my own sense of smell as I'm sure most (if not all of you) do. However I guess one thing I should note is that it's based of the flower Belle-de-Nuit which is a nocturnal flower that only releases its fragrance from 4pm to the morning. I googled the flower and honestly it doesn't look too appealing.



It is a beautiful bottle, it really is. The picture makes the bottle look bronzy but it actually is a deep burgundy color. Absolutely stunning. I really like the design of the bottle, it's so feminine and girly.




Because it was a gala I was also able to get my bottle engraved for free. Such fun! It'll make a great gift. I think the organizers for this particular gala really got it right to get an engraver come in.



Along with my purchase I also go this gift which really is one big basket filled with cellophane, tissue paper, 4 perfume samples, a deluxe Nina sample, and Nina lipgloss, and a Nina phone charm.





The items I like the most is the lipgloss and the charm. They are so cute!

The gala is over now but at Shopper Drug Mart they still have the 20x the points event with purchases over $75. It's over this weekend though. But they always have these events, so it's a good deal!
