Mademoiselle Ricci

I already had Mademoiselle Ricci for a quite long time ago and after I tried sniffing Lancome Idole a while ago, I recognized that the scent is quite similar with this. Actually Mademoiselle Ricci is a Floral Woody Musk and Idole is a Chypre Floral based on Fragrantica, but their opening and dry down are almost similar to each other (at least for me). Both of them have a very strong sweet rose note with a hint of pink pepper, but Mademoiselle Ricci is on a creamier side and Idole is more on fresh side. That actually make sense because Mademoiselle Ricci has raspberry, violet, and amber notes which make it creamier. At the other hand Idole has pear, bergamot, and patchouli notes which make it fresher. Mademoiselle Ricci gives me a softie mature woman vibes, I could feel my mom's hug while wearing it. Idole gives me a workaholic but elegant and feminime woman. So personally I will go with Mademoiselle Ricci rather than Idole because I love a musky and creamy notes more than a fresh citrusy notes. Besides that the longevity is a no for me, not worth with that pricetag. Mademoiselle Ricci is more long lasting with a half price.

I have this perfume for a week and i'm very pleasant about buying this. This is a powdery rose scent and if you love light,powdery,soapy, soft scents you will probably like this one.It is as soft as cream.It's not fresh but you can even use this in summer days because it's not overwhelming. Mademoiselle Ricci is perfect for daily use and its sillage is light but its longevity is medium. If you want something light,unique,elegant,classy and soft i would suggest you this perfume. Also this could be perfect for young girls. And of course i love Nina Ricci because they are not doing tests on animal and also of course they have great perfumes. Also i loved the bottle so much!

It's an aristocratic, noble, expensive powder scent. Subtle, elegant, nothing loudly screaming, but rather sensually whispering. Nothing to do with the Ricci Ricci sourness and juiciness (I was misled by the bottle design and thought the scents were on the same shelf). Sweet, creamy, deliciously modern but with its character (a hint of pink pepper). Quietly seducing, flirting, winking, inviting, but within the limits of politeness with a good taste and sophisticated touch. Lovely!

Oh boy do I love a good musky rose! I haven't tried many Ricci perfumes but this is my favorite so far. This is a jammy rose, but not as jammy as the aggressive rose in Guerlain Idyll Sublime. Also other florals compete in this so that it definitely smells rose-ish, not pure rose. I love the addition of the other notes; I can detect slight pink pepper and sour raspberry. There is also a strong sense of wood here that blends effortlessly with poignant rose. I want a FB now!

I was hesistating to buy Mademoiselle Ricci but when i read review below by Annastasya Issabelle mentioning that it smells like Lancome Idole I bought it quickly coz I have a sample of Idole n Idole Aura and yes it does smell very similar n I love it! It's a beautiful elegant lady smell, I own Ricci Ricci but I l'm liking this more. I'm so happy I have it now! Price n performance of this scent is also awesome.

Ooh la la! Mademoiselle Ricci is lovely and unique! Reminds me of Guerlain's Insolence, but with violet and ROSE!! Long lasting, though not as strong as Insolence. Très feminine, powdery, lipstick, boudoir... So happy to have this beautiful bottle in my collection. Smells expensive, but it was a bargain on Amazon!

Mademoiselle Ricci is very romantic and innocent perfume, musky rose petals with a hint of pink pepper. I have 30ml / 1 FL OZ bottle, I must say that bottle is lovely, but scent is very light for me and it does not last on my skin. Too bad, after 1 hour I can ́t smell anything :-( Oh why?

I agree with other reviews that Mademoiselle Ricci is a replica of Flower by KENZO. However, between the two I would happily pick KENZO since Mademoiselle Ricci lacks the longevity and sillage of Flower. I got this just so I could get a discount for another perfume for my mom.

This perfume smells exactly same how its bottle looks like. Nice and elegant. It is a powdery, creamy and very lovely smell with no sillage no longevity. If it could stay on my skin for only two hours, I would buy it. However there wasn't any trace one hour after I have tried.

It is more powdery than Fragrantica description page gives it credit for! I smell mostly violet, rose, pink pepper and raspberry. Violet is much more noticeable than stated. It doesn't have much in common with original Ricci Ricci. Beautiful fruity sparkling powdery violet.+

The smell is really powdery but not too sweet. This was my very first perfume, I had it since 2013 and kept it until 2023, I only had to change it last year because it was discontinued. I was so sad, because I'm afraid someday I won't be able to smell it ever again.

Aww! How sweet! I'm falling in love with this scent. I agree with the ad campaign, the everlasting love because it's so romantic, sweet, soft, gentle, ladylike. A delicately balanced creaminess and powderiness make this scent beautiful. Mmm.... ♥ so in love ♥

I love this! I had to test this few times and I fall I love with it. it works very well on me. sweet and romantic. the bottle is gorgeous! Try it and give it some time to develop. I had 3 Nina Ricci just never disappoints me.

It's so deliciously powdery, but on my skin it lasts seconds. Really sad. On the day i tried my skin was pretty dry so i think it changed the staying power of the fume. I'll try it again with a great moisturizer before.

Oh, this is wonderful! Great for date night. I’m hit with a lot of powderyness and red florals/berries. Versatile for day or night. Very feminine. Love her, she’s beautiful.

smelled this in the perfume shop today-must say i was very pleasantly surprised.fresh roses.i fell in love.will want a bottle of this for my birthday in october.

In love with this sent ♥ as soon as I finish the one I have Im gonna buy it again! super delicate, elegant, femenine a must for me!

received this from my husband today-love it.cute bottle.rosy smell.love it.more suitable for summer imo.

Loooooove it ,fresh and clean scent

I bought this because I thought the bottle was cute plus it was inexpensive. I can see the comparisons to Kenzo's Flower, but Flower is much stronger, and I like Flower more because it is a lot stronger. I agree w/ the review below I get rose, pink pepper, violet and raspberry. The raspberry here is tart, not sweet. This is not a sweet perfume, softly powdery, softly spicy, slightly tart w/ a slight herbal quality that reminds me of bay leaf, but it isn't bay leaf, that must be from the laurel. There is a slight masculine quality to this fragrance, and I can see a man enjoying this if he enjoys rose and violet. I would actually enjoy this on a man. So, despite the cute bow and pink color this is quite unisex to my nose but leans feminine. My only complaint is I wish this fragrance was stronger. It would be office friendly for sure. I wouldn't buy this again if it runs out because Kenzo's flower has a similar vibe but is a lot stronger and more feminine, but this is a nice fragrance. Edit: As I keep smelling this perfume it smells like Kenzo's Flower and Estee Lauder's Modern Muse le Rouge had a baby and the baby had a dash of laurels from other relatives. The laurels remind me of a much softer bay leaf. My husband really likes this perfume, but he says he wouldn't wear it, he likes it a lot on me. I am kind of a fan of feminine or unisex fragrances on men and find many male offerings today harsh and obnoxious. During the founding of the USA and through much of 18th and 19th century men often wore florals. I would like to see that habit be born again in the USA and for men in this country to move away from the nasty aquatics I smell out and about all the time.

I'm currently writing this review as I'm using the last drop from my 50 ml bottle. I purchased this perfume when it was released in 2012. It starts with rose and a lot of spicy pink pepper that soon settles down. Raspberry adds a slightly juicy feeling to the opening but never turns it fruity by any means just balances things out a bit. Anyhow this perfume is extremely Rosey. It smells more like rose essential oil than actual fresh rose, it's thick and oily. I'm not familiar with fresh rosehip or Nerium Oleander, but it's clear that other floral notes are supporting the rose. Laurel in the heart gives it a powdery soapy scent like you are using the most luxurious rose soap. The dry down is all about musk and woods and again rose the superstar of this perfume. Longevity is pretty great on clothes it lasts for more than 10 hours with 2 sprays. On my skin, I get about 4 hours with soft sillage. I could smell wafts of it throughout the day. To conclude, if you enjoy mature musky Rosey perfumes you might like this one. It's unique and very feminine. I won't purchase a new bottle as I'm trying to expand my collection with new fragrances, but I'm glad that I had it. I liked it.

Creamy, powdery, musky rose. AMAZING. I think i never experienced a perfume that is so lovely. Girly without being childish or overly sweet. It gives me the same vibe of Miss Dior Cherie. They're not alike, but they remind me of the same kind of girl. Ladylike, polished, feminine, sweet. The pink pepper is in the background, what i adore, cause in my opinion, pink pepper can be sharp very easily. @Juliana6 described it very well. Noble. Is not unique. The Rose-Musk-Pink Pepper combo is EVERYWHERE. But is a great fragrance nonetheless. The notes are blended very nicely, so to me, even not being really innovative, stand out between other fragrances with the same notes. For daytime wear, on pleasant weather days (not too hot, not too cold. Safe blind buy or for gifts (not offensive at all) ps: For everyone out there who actually lives in the real world and not in a fragrance add, where you walk in parks everyday, this one is great for using in offices or other closed spaces, since is kinda subtle and the notes are not sharp. You'll smell pretty, clean and rose-like fresh.

I got this as a gift. At the first sight I wasn't impressed, because the bottle does not suit my personality at all. Glossy plastic pink bow? A big no for me. I expected it to smell fruity, sweet, cheap and cheerful, like any modern girly teenager scent (and I mostly don't like sweet perfumes). I was surprised to smell spicy woody rose with only a tiny hint of sweetness. So it was okay for me, but not so special. But recently this scent has grew on me. The other day I realized that this is the safest option in my perfume wardrobe. I use it when I don't know what to wear. It is elegant and smart, not too heavy, but prominent, and suitable for any season and time of the day. I don't think it is only for girls, I can imagine it on a woman of any age. It is very comforting and safe. The perfume is definitely not so unique, but very versatile. Good option to wear when you are tired of these WOW scents. I don't agree with Nina Ricci marketing team who decided to use this name and bottle design, because they do not suit the scent in my opinion.

I really hate that I love this so much, it is a generic scent, pretty, inoffensive, delicate, feminine, the type of scent that makes a great gift as it is so, well, generic. It is the most typical sophisticated young women's scent worn by thousands of girls in their 20s all around the globe. I am a rose fan and it is very light on rose, I can smell rather something vaguely fruity that makes it resemble Liberty Fizz (also Nina Ricci), a scent I liked as a young teen. And that is not a compliment. Having said that, I have to spary this every time I pass a perfumery and I keep sniffing my wrists all day, and I while I find myself enjoying it very much it makes me sad at the same time. I wish it wasn't so predictable and had just one note that would make it stand out; I would rush to the shops and buy a full bottle. A pretty scent overall that lacks a bit of an edge. Shame. (p.s. Dear Santa, if you are reading this...)

As other users have noted Mademoiselle Ricci smells very similar to Kenzo's Flower. I haven't used powdery fragrances in a while now and forgot how much I used to enjoy them. Luckily I still own a sample of Flower and was able to compare the fragrances. In my opinion these are twins, but fraternal ones. I believe Flower is more powdery and sophisticated than Mademoiselle, the silage and longevity are better, at least on my skin. Mademoiselle Ricci on the other hand, maybe due to the pink pepper, has a younger vibe about it. If you are a a fan of the original Ricci Ricci, this might be a bit disappointing for you, however if you a looking for fresher & lighter version of Flower, Mademoiselle Ricci could be an option.

Rose and musk is an excellent mixure. Musk gives this exceptional almost buttery creaminess that I never met yet in any other flagrance. I just want to smell it more and more. But where are laurels? Innexistent to my perseption. Any case it's a lovely flagrance with enormous projection and huge lasting power. It still stays on my skin till the next day. Edit: after wearing it for some time and comparing with other fragrancies I understand better finally the origin of the buttery creaminess. It does come rather from musk and the pink pepper. Personally I find that this fragrance is good for cooler weather. for summer and spring I prefer something less sweet and more fresh.

I tried this fragrance a few days ago and it smelled like cherries to me, I don't know why. It is not too sweet, it is light but strong, flowery and spirited. However nothing "designer" or "sophisticated" here, does not resemble any fragrance in particular but it is definitely not unique, can even be called "common". It is for daily wear, office safe, but it is not something you can impress the Prince Charming with.

What a lovely fragrance. First of all, cute bottle. Second of all, the scent is so pretty - feminine, classy, clean and powdery. I mostly detect soapy florals - violet, rose and iris (which is not listed, but I guess they go together with violet often). Not similar to Ricci Ricci at all! Soft projection, medium lasting power. I would wear this to an office.

The bottle is cute, I typically don’t really like pink pepper but this one has it in the opening for a few seconds which is nice, then you will get the rose and musk through the day. It is kinda sweet and musky with the rose base, it’s elegant, sophisticated, womanly, perfect for cold weather day.

I am not alone to think this scent seem like a Kenzo flowers, but anyway the dry down scent is not the same as Kenzo at all just only the heart and first notes. So I bought it and I love the bottle and would like to change and see how much different than Kenzo Floweres. It's good for summer time.

Nice and romantic, rose is very present. Perfect for young and delicate women. It reminds me of Ricci Ricci, but in a softest way. Pink pepper is less present so Madmoiselle is less mischievous and I prefer this version. Correct lasting power and lovely bottle.

This is nice like many other Nina Ricci's perfumes. Very creamy with a little sweetness but not too much this time. Rose notes are lovely in this one. Enjoyable and delicious. I like this delicate musky rose scent.

Something weird is happennig to me - I begin craving pink pepper! This perfume is a nice combination of rose and pepper, not so girly and sweet like l'Extase, but more sophisticated.

sweet and warm musky roses. I do not get any hint of powder. I guess it depends on the skin chemistry. I have this creamy gogeous rose scent that blows me off in a positive sense.

Super feminin, very sweet. I really enjoy this, but only in small amounts. Love this lingering in my hair on a bright summers day. Super fresh, super west side Oslo.

essayé aujourd'hui et je l'aime, doux un peu miellé, idéal pour l'automne. sillage et tenue très bonne.

Smells musky, rosy and peppery. A less powdery version of Kenzo’s Flower By Kenzo in my opinion.

I bought it only because I was blinded by the beautiful bottle. It's flower and wood and musk.

Pink pepper evident. Musky. fresh. rosey scent.......nicccccccccccccccccce!

I want a LARGE BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!! :-(

A pink rose. Opening is quite generic, slightly synthetic and doesn’t project much. When I sprayed it the first time, I almost wanted to give it away. After a while it it dries down to a peppery powdery rose, and projects a little more for a couple of hours. I really like the drydown which is very unique and I love how powdery it is without being sweet. Overall it’s an interesting take on a rose fragrance.

I had a mini bottle of it and even so i liked it, it didn't blown me away. Nice, but as many other fragrances out there. Pretty bottle.

Très séduisant mais ne tient pas ses promesses . Trop de roses entêtantes en notes de tête. La note de fond pourrait être intéressante, mais elle ne se confirme pas dans la durée. Non, je n'accroche pas. Peut-être trop floral pour moi...Et puis on sort beaucoup de parfums à la rose en France actuellement . Le succès de Chloé y est sans doute pour quelque chose. Mais bon, il serait peut-être temps de trouver d'autres inspirations... En outre ,le proposer à l'orée de l'automne n'est peut-être pas judicieux. Cette composition correspondrait plus au printemps selon moi . Dommage, car le flacon est très joli, en version rose de Ricci Ricci .

I was so hopeful that this would be a lovely, slightly old fashioned pink rose. Alas. Another unsuccessful blind buy! It's overwhelmingly sweet on me -- I wish I could work out exactly what it reminds me of, but it's something along the lines of red cordial, or red jelly beans. It's not unpleasant -- I suspect there are people who will adore this! The musk is super clean, the rose almost non-existent to my nose. The pink pepper contributes a slight sense that I'd rather wear this on cooler days than warm, but isn't very perceptible. On the plus side, I do love the sweet, silly bottle!

This is just pepper, powder and musk. It opens with a strong punch of pepper which takes around 30 minutes to calm down. Once it settles down you can feel a bit of the rose, but it is still very powdery, and the pepper is still there. I blindly bought this because people here were saying this is a safe, innofensive scent but I don't get how so much pepper and musk put together can be innoffensive. Absolutely not safe for blind buying or gifting as it generally just feels old and unpleasant (I'm with the fragrantica user who said this smells like funerals!). Lovely bottle though.

I was expecting for something more unusual, and I still don't know why. There's a good time that Nina Ricci used to produce/create good perfumes. But the market prefers what is already a guarantee of success, even being disagreeable. Yes, this scent is very reminiscent of the Flower by KENZO. A fragrance that is both regrettable and shouldn't have been created. It has nothing to add, even the bottle repetitive and boring. I can't see any reason to purchase it. Try the first, the tradicional Ricci Ricci! Scent: 0*/5* Bottle: 0*/0*

This ended up in my collection after it was gifted to my sister. I don't feel comfortable enough wearing it, probably should try again in the winter. Definitely not a summer fragrance. It's creamy and peppery, musky rose and all those qualities combined make it feel a bit too heavy for me. It's on the mature side and is suitable for a professional environment. The dry-down is truly amazing on me, I adore that part!

With all due respect to everybody's tastes and preferences, I find the only gorgeous thing about this perfume is the colour and the bottle. It's pure powder powder and powder, that's pretty much it, no class, no aristocracy, no romance, I mean just as much as all those are present when washing your hands with your grandma's mother old fahioned paper wrapped round soap.

The bottle is very beautiful and the notes seemed promising. Since i love florals i gave it a try...but all i could smell was roses and violet which made me sneezing and itchi in the nose. I couldnt break down the other notes... The dry down reminded me of old beauty soaps from camay. The bottle looks contemporary modern but the scent gave me vintage. Not my type...

I am wearing this right now, got a sample of it a few weeks ago, and I have to say although it's on my dislike list, it's not bad. It's just bland and boring, it has a nice opening but settles into a delicate rose & rose hip duo. Not my style at all, lacks personality, but if you're into rose frags this might be interesting to you...
