Nina Ricci

Premier Jour

Premier Jour by Nina Ricci is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2001 in the designer price tier. It opens with mandarin, moves into gardenia and orchid and dries down to vanilla, musk and sandalwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

• Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
• Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
