Premier Jour

After being hesitant about buying Premier Jour for quite some time I finally got it less than a week ago. A small bottle, half-blind buy... And what can I say? I think I'm falling in love! :) This is a fragrance in which I actually do recognise the notes of real flowers which doesn't happen all that often. If I tell you that I wanted to have my bridal bouquet made of sweet peas (didn't get it though, wasn't quite the season anymore), and here - et voilá - here's the wonderful scent of fresh and sweet :) sweet peas au nature then you can understand how much I appreciate the note being emphasised. Wish I had known it just a little while ago, so I could have worn this to replace the missing flower in my bouquet. But that's not it - there's also the gardenia note which is surprisingly (and pleasantly!) creamy. I can only guess it's the vanilla blend which makes it so smooth. Ah, and there's also the sparkling note of mandarin orange - moodlifting and energising. My nose (which sadly is rather sensitive and accepts only mild fragrances these days) is happy with Premier Jour. It's indeed all what's been said by previous reviews - soft, delicate, nice, feminine, happy, clean, beautiful, floral... Cute! :) All in all - I think I have found a new favorite for the coming spring! Plus, I already wish I had ordered the biggest bottle. Ps. And yes, it fades away too fast. :S

Optimism in a bottle. From the name, Premier Jour (first day), to the bottle (one block on top of the other), to the soft peachy color and the bright vibrant scent everything conveys optimism. Premier Jour opens with a glorious, zesty, sweet, mandarin-orange which lights up your face with a smile. I was surprised there were no orange blossoms, but it’s probably the well behaved gardenia from the heart giving this white floral effect. Surprisingly the gardenia doesn’t overpower the delicate cheerful sweet peas, it just lends a creaminess and a mild green edge, but the sweet peas are very distinct which is a good change in a floral designer perfume. The base is sweet, soft and smooth. The overall composition suits a polite, polished pure woman, dressed in white and beige, sleek hair and nude makeup. It’s very versatile on a spring/summer morning; you can wear it to office, to church, in hospital, or school, for a wedding day or to go shopping and it will still seem relevant. Adorable ☺️

I love this perfume. It was always my go-to summer fragrance and I bought replacement bottle after replacement bottle. For some reason, I didn't repurchase after my last bottle ran out. A couple of weeks ago, I felt there was something missing from my fragrance wardrobe and realised - this was it. I wore it again yesterday evening, after a shower, and it is a lovely, fresh, light but creamy floral scent to wear when the weather is hot and humid (as it has been in SE England). The initial spray opens with sweet pea and gardenia, which hang around for quite a while; the woodsy notes underpin the florals, which makes this perfume for me - I don't think I could wear this if the scent was exclusively floral. I can't really detect the vanilla in this at all, although it may be what gives the fragrance its creaminess. I can imagine a summer bride wearing this on her wedding day. It is feminine and somehow virginal. It has a reasonable longevity on my skin 4-5 hours and moderate sillage.

I love this and I am very mature fragrance purchaser. I love the old power smells but recently, I realised I was aging myself so decided to step back and I have to say... this was the perfect step in that direction. The notes are complex. I've already said they remind me of youth, hormones, puberty and spring. There's a lot going on but I also feel like there's a razor edge sharpness that underpins it all. The florals are great but the woody accords is by far the best thing about this fragrance... it seeps out after about 30 mins and leaves a sweetness in the back of your throat, like a drop of wild honey but that white metallica or 'cleanliness' never leaves, turning into linen blowing in the breeze. This is definitely something I wouldn't want to wear on its own unless it was springtime in an airy environment, not the city. Hopefully I can go on a boat ride in a few weeks and see how this smell fairs in the wind xx

Im addicted💕🤍🤍 I always hear about vanilla bombs, musk bombs etc But with premier jour ? Ur gonna experience what i call an airiness BOMB Don’t expect a creamy gardenia orchid Vanilla with a sweetened sweet pea cus it’s not Its a really fresh watery rosy sweet pea with the insanely good fresh petales of gardenia and musk not a sweet or super creamy scent more like a fresh petals of airy florals It has that ginger edge really noticeable idk why is no one mentioning that And the opening is soo watery and fresh like sage water notes and sweet pea then just sweet pea soapy gardenia ginger and musk Absolutely no sweetness or vanilla either Peace and Thursday mornings

This is quite like Jil Sander Sensations. I wore it for my wedding. I loved it and went through several bottles. Now sadly discontinued. Why Nina Ricci (or whoever it is) saw fit to dump this and crank out the brightly coloured sugar fruit miasmas that currently make up its range I can't fathom. This was proper perfume, sophisticated, fresh, warm, beautiful at every stage. Very spring/summer. Actually does merge with you like it says it does. They changed the bottle at one point, which wasn't an improvement. They gave it a nasty rubber lid. Then they they just gave up and threw it out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY?? Phillistines.

@TonyTheTiger Sometimes someone makes an extremely stupid comment in very poor taste; sometimes someone needs to call them out. This is one of them. "This was the perfume used in the Salisbury, UK novichok poisoning. Don't be moaning about it's performance ;)" Premier Jour is not "the perfume used in Salisbury, UK novichok poisoning". The perfume was NOT used; a bottle labelled Premier Jour was discovered in Salisbury, which contained a novichok nerve agent. Five people were hospitalised as a result of the attack. One died. It is not appropriate now - nor will it ever be - to joke about it.

The smell is a beautiful vanilla, sweet floral and orange scent... For some people it may smell soapy possibly. On myself luckily it's a subtle simply feminine smell. I absolutely hate the bottle design it's flimsy and annoying! It doesn't match the smell at all! I recommend this for a lady; a sophisticated lady maybe aged 25-40... It's a nice and safe smell... However for the price I wouldn't ever buy this again. I love it but... Compared to my other perfumes of a similar price this one lacks personality.... I LOVE IT STILL!

Amazing a huge love 🤍 The Opening is a bit masculine watery aquatic feel with a delicate but noticeable ginger aroma and Bright citruses really unique and addictive opening ! Mellows into a heavenly sweet pea+gardenia combo that smell really balanced and well blended When the base appears i start to get the gardenia more that’s when the scent turns to a really nostalgic detergent laundry like scent with the musk appearing more Moderate projection and a really decent price tag Fresh’s the heck out of my body Just Perfection ✨

In the beginning it smells "polite" and PC, but it soon warms up and becomes smiling kindness. It is not a very unique scent but it is well balanced. Fresh without being sour, sharp or aquatic; warm without being heavy or overly sweet. A bit powdery, gentle, light and feminine. The aspect of femininity that is presented here is the caring, kind and confident one, not a wild and sexy one. I would love to smell this on someone who takes care of people - a nurse, a doctor, a teacher - it will make me trust her.

This is a typical Nina Ricci fragrance...softly floral, fairly demure and very lovely. It's also hardly noticeable which is why I really overspray. I like this because there is nothing offensive about it. But I don't find myself reaching for it often. I like my fragrance a bit more noticeable, usually not a floral, my least favorite type of scent. . I'm drawn to this particular floral because it contains NO rose. The sweet pea carries it beautifully.

I just can’t stop reviewing this masterpiece I thank god Every time i get my nose on this scent U know ? Every brand has its iconic floral scent Dior ~ Pure Poison Carolina Herrera ~ 212 NYC Chanel ~ Gabrielle essence Lancome ~ Miracle Estée Lauder ~ Pleasures Issey miyake ~ L’Eau D’Issey Lacoste ~ Pour Femme Roberto Cavalli ~ Paradiso Hugo Boss ~ Boss Femme Nina Ricci? Baby Its right in front of your eyes what are you waiting for? I mean ...

This is one of my favourite perfumes of all times. I went shopping the other day and 3 people stopped me to compliment and ask what perfume I was wearing. I was recommended this perfume by a friend some years back and now recommend to all of my friends also along with the people that compliment my fragrance. Well done Nina Ricci for another great perfume. I also love Ricci Ricci but have just run out - boo hoo xxx

I had an opportunity to use Premier Jour EDT for a while (my roommate let me use hers) and just fell in love with it. Back then it seemed to me that EDP is too strong on me, but now I even like perfume more. Very elegant, feminine, special and smells expensive. I agree- it really is classy! There's nothing too much, but also it's not plain. This is the Perfume for me and I just adore it!

Premier jour was the first perfume I chose and bought by myself. It was many years ago when I wasn't so much into perfumes and I must admit that I admire how easy it was- I just smelled, liked and bought it. It's like a beautiful woman without make up. Her beauty is quiet but obvious so there's no need to shout. She's optimistic and confident. Delicate, sophisticated and lovely.

I simply adore this perfume from the very first time I discovered it at our relative's collection, when I was about 14. This was the first perfume I bought when I was 16, and from time to time I buy it again. It is sophisticated and not too complicated, yet vibrant to my taste. I love how it openes up and its base notes are like pearls on my skin. One of the all time favorites.

A very classic, clean and fresh flower perfume. It is never heavy and stays airy, very soft. Plays beautifully outdoors in a fresh cool air. Also - the sweet pea flower note holds some lovely memories - I was born in the summer and often got sweet pea flowers for my birthday. Such a wonderful and pleasant note. To me Premier Jour feels fresh, feminine and just beautiful.

simple, safe, natural smelling floral.i like that it's not sharp or cloying in any way.it smells like you're sitting in the middle of a flower garden.it is definitely a good quality perfume EDIT: i have a very old, almost empty bottle that has very good longevity and sillage compared to other perfumes in this category. i don't know how the current formulation performs

If you wanna smell clean, fresh,elegant,soft and neat you must have it .Especially in winter its AMAZING.When i first smelled it, i fell in love insistently and since then(2023) i started wearing it to uni,family gatherings,shopping,meetings...its almost empty now and I ordered another one. idc what everyone says, it's perfect and It's my signature scent .<3

Grazie alle perfette e precise recensioni, ancora una volta ho comprato un profumo senza averlo mai sentito...ed è buonissimo! dolce, cremoso, delicato proprio come piace a me! Più lo porto e più mi piace, è un profumo delicato e femminile, chiunque lo sente mi fa i complimenti, è piaciuto persino al mio amore che di solito non ama i profumi in generale!
