Fragrance Of The Month: Nina Ricci Nina Soleil EDT Limited Edition

We’re pulling an Eve and putting boys like Adam in second place, right behind our new Nina Ricci perfume, Soleil.

We can’t help it. The fragrance’s irresistibly creamy and sweet floral scent is addictive. A decadent blend of rich Chantilly cream, luminous gardenia flowers, soft cedar wood and warm vanilla topped with a fresh squeeze of mandarin and bergamot citrus notes. With just one sun-drenched spritz we feel lighter, more playful and extremely joy-filled, kind of like we’ve taken a big bite out of the flacon’s yellow, glass apple ourselves.

And we would too, you know, if we could. Take a bite that is. With so much optimism radiating from its glossy glaze, this is one apple well worth indulging in. Plus, it fits perfectly between our collection of the French brand’s Nina’s clear namesake, Nina’s red Rouge and Nina’s pink Rose iconic, pomme-shaped parfums. But like all good temptations, it won’t last. Nina Soleil is a limited edition, which makes choosing it now over other things like gardens and boys indulgently necessary.

Nina Ricci Nina Soleil EDT, $88 for 50 ml, available at Hudson’s Bay.
