Nina Ricci

Romantic French femininity since 1932

Nina Ricci, born Maria Adelaide Nielli in Italy, founded her Paris couture house in 1932 with her son Robert Ricci. L'Air du Temps (1948) — featuring the iconic dove stopper bottle designed by Marc Lalique — is a landmark aldehydic floral that captured post-WWII optimism. Robert Ricci was a passionate fragrance developer who worked closely with perfumers. The brand has been owned by Puig since 1998.
