Les Belles de Ricci Delice d'Epices

I bought this perfume when I was 20 years old, studying abroad in Spain. I was instantly in love with the spicy complexity. I haven't had it in years and will be buying it again soon. I've never found another scent that was so intriguing and frankly sexy. I kept the empty bottle for a long time too just to sniff and remember. Update: I decided I couldn't wait any longer, especially since my fresh florals I usually buy just don't fit the cold weather we are having and I found a bottle online. Just seeing the box and the bottle just as I remembered, though happily this is a bigger bottle made me excited. The flood of memories and joy from the spray are nearly overwhelming. Oh to be 20, single and studying abroad in a lovely country again! Haha. But, on to the delicious scent itself. My nose and probably chemistry have matured considerably, but that first whiff of the spicy sweet mix still thrilled me. The sour/bitter tangy fruit are much more present and noticeable than I expected, but in a pleasant way. And it's developing the sweetly spiced cardamom and warm base notes more as I wait and sniff. Perfumes tend to get overly sweet on me sometimes, but this exquisite trip down memory lane reminds me that the balance of the other notes is why this was my favorite scent for so long. I have a feeling that I'll be wearing this everyday for a while. I hope that the longevity is as good as I remember. Applying before a night out in lovely Granada and waking up still able to detect a hint on my wrist was always welcome. Pure joy in a bottle.

I bought this at a local store yesterday. When I saw the little box of Les Belles de Ricci Delice d`Epices on a shelf, I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought it's (almost) impossible to find it, except on the internet. (There was Cherry Fantasy next to it also.) Since it was too long ago that I sniffed Delice d'Epices, I couldn't remember what kind of smell it was. There was no tester for this. I checked Fragrantica first and went back to the store right away. LOL (Thanks, Fragrantica!) It's my fist time to wear this perfume. I'm loving it! Delice d`Epices is really well balanced. Spicy, sweet, fresh, fruity, warm, soft, and cozy. It's just delicious! It's easy to wear. Perfect for fall/winter days. Maybe I should go back to the store and get the very last Delice d`Epices too, before it's too late.

Very, very special and tasty. I had Paco Rabanne Calandre on my left wrist and Delice D'Epices on my right. Guess which wrist was the one I kept sniffing? This is extremely lovely and pleasant perfume. It opens with most delicious and sparling grapefruits and oranges with a tiny bit of apple present as well. After the heart notes hit in I feel mouthwatering cinnamon with orchid and slightly bit of cardamon added for the spices. The orange is still present. The drydown is truly adorable, with still some orange freshness lingering in the air and juicy, tasty vanilla. I must have this! UPD: Was greedy and bought it 5 min after writing this review. Bad girl!

It is discovery of the year for me. I love it from the first smell. The bottle looks so funny and smiley but inside there is something unpredictable. The spices are so tender and warm. They comes with glorious apples! so nice duet. I spray it on my skin and it works. Every minute i feel pulsing soft veil of caramelized apples with cinnamon composition. This is my favorite for this summer. Love it. 10/10 NO MERCY

Mmmm. Bright and uplifting. I can't describe it other than it smells like having an awesome, fresh Saturday morning breakfast consisting of toast with sweet orange jelly, spicy tea and some fruit (pineapple and green apple) at 10 AM in the early fall, when the leaves have started to change color but the weather is still mild, complete with the knowledge that you have the whole day off and in front of you.
