The full profile.
Think warm vanilla custard with almond and citrus zest: that is Nina Ricci Nina Precious Gold. It opens with apple, bergamot and Italian lemon, moves into almond, Moroccan orange blossom and musk and settles on ambrox, vanilla and Virginia cedar. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and date nights. Released in 2024.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Notes behind the picks
Nina Ricci Love in Paris (Eau de Parfum, 2004) comes across as powdery rose petals with a sweet anise breeze, with star anise and bergamot at the start and musk, vanilla and woody notes at the base. Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase (Eau de Parfum, 2018) reads as sparkling ginger lemon with soft jasmine musk, opening on ginger and pink pepper and drying down to ambergris, musk and vanilla. Nina Ricci L'Extase (Eau de Parfum, 2015) opens with pink pepper and peach and ends on caramel, Siam benzoin and amber; overall it reads as sweet caramel and vanilla pastries with floral fruit.
