Mademoiselle Ricci L'Eau

Another impulse buying at the airport - which I clearly do not regret. I have to say that I am not a big fan of rose scents, but once in a while, I guess I have to make an exception. While the scent is somehow similar to the original Mademoiselle Ricci, I find Mademoiselle Ricci L'Eau a lot softer. It's sweet but it's fresh. Unlike other Nina Ricci fragrances which I often consider sticky-sweet, Mademoiselle Ricci L'Eau is a lot more subtle and enchanting with its own way. Many fragrances started out loud, but not Mademoiselle Ricci L'Eau. It started "politely" and soon I discovered subtle rosy scent all around me. First day at work wearing this, I got a lot of "mmm" from coworkers. Although the sillage is not massive, it's generally noticeable when you pass on somebody's table. Aaand, Mademoiselle Ricci offers a bonus. A subtleness that doesn't vanish within 1, 3, 5, or even 7 hours. I worked late the other day, spent about 12 hours at the office. When I got home, the scent was still there. Close to the skin, but still very noticeable to whoever sitting next to you. I cannot really explain it. Definitely another "Mmmm" moment I had since I discovered EL Pure White Linen Pink Coral. Great thing is, this frag is new, and waaaaay away from being discontinued :D All that you have to do is to sniff it on your wrist, then decide to take it home with you :) I guess that is why I decided to take it home. A complete impulse 100ml buy that I will not regret.

This is beautiful!! It's so soft, sweet and heavenly, i just love it. I agree with below that it does smell like a toned down version of Paris, a more wearable version. The rose in this is very sweet, I don't get much of the woodiness or musk though, it's definitely all about the florals. It's not that strong on me, a very moderate sillage, but longevity is great, had it on for six hours now and can still smell it on my wrists. I know it's meant for the warmer weather, but i can see it being so relaxing and soothing to wear in autumn/winter after a bath when the rain and wind is battling away outside. Glad i came across this gorgeous perfume, just wish i'd got a bigger bottle!!

The bottle is beautiful! The scent however is not that unique. It strongly reminds me of Kenzo flower and Kenzo flower Tag upon application (all share jasmine, rose/penoy) . And all perform similarly on longevity and sillage departments. Mademoiselle l'Eau softens the inital sweetiness very soon leaving some fruity powdery floral behind. Need re applicable about 3 hours for me. A little harmless unoffensive sweet little nothing.

Best blind buy I've ever made. My only regret is that I got a small bottle... I AM IN LOVE. It does smell of roses and peony, but to me, it smells EXACTLY like my favourite linden trees in blossom - a tiny bit sour. It's like a very, very soft version of YSL Paris. A romantic, flowy, airy, delicate scent. The bottle shape and colour are pretty much spot on, it is all pink ribbons and girly stuff - marvellous!

This is surprisingly sweet despite the notes listed. On the nina ricci website it lists lychee ( I mean get the notes right fragrantica!). Maybe that's where the sweet notes are coming from or perhaps it's the combo of the applewood, rose ,lychee and jasmine. Overall it's a nice girly scent that lasts about 8 hours with the beautiful pastel pink bottle an extra bonus!
