About This Perfume
Think sweet vanilla cream with floral fruit sparkle: that is Nina Ricci Vénus Eau de Parfum Intense. It opens with blackcurrant liqueur and mandarin orange, moves into jasmine, magnolia and tiaré and settles on benzoin, Bourbon vanilla and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days and date nights. Released in 2025.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
