at first, i purchased this perfume because im so attracted by the bottle but quite sure about the smell. honestly at first it smells like a cigarette for me but for a few seconds, it turns out a very sexy and seductive fragrance… believe me, i am a gay man with ordinary face. but im getting attention with plenty of guys if i were this perfume…

Ive heard that its nice from alot of the blogs. Most people are saying it smells like apple pie/apples & cinnamon. That sounds fine to me. I’ll get Ricci Ricci & say Im wearing Ambre Narguile. If they smell similar of course. : )

As soon as I sprayed on Ricci Ricci I had a comforting feeling which reminded me of the smell whafting from a steamy bathroom when having a bubble bath.

I was so excited for this fragrance to make its debut. I was so disappointed. I found it unbearably sweet. I think it has to do with the Rhubarb, Tuberose, Patchouli combination. Although I love all these notes, together they did not workout for me.
I agree with Kaos about the candy. I felt like I’d walked into a candy factory and it lingered closer to an hour in my case. Mid notes were nice with the moonflower presenting itself and the sandalwood was quite subtle at the very end.
Unfortunately, I cannot get past the candy shop. Way sweeter than than I care for. I have a hard time thinking they might have targeted the 30-45 age group with this. Funny, my son always likes to commend when something I wear smells good. He said “maybe not mommy” to this one BUT he gave the Givenchy EauDemoiselle a “thumbs up!”.

You will get no sympathy from me…we don’t have Ricci Ricci *or* the Givenchy. So no comment on RR from me!

I can comment that I have finally tried this, as it has formally launched just 10 days ago here in Buenos Aires (see how freaky this is? we got Eaudemoiselle almost at the same time as the rest of the world, but Ricci Ricci took almost 8 months to get here!)

I can say that I like it. The opening is sweet, but not VEEERY sweet. It reminds me of sugared candy gels, like strawberry or other sweet fruits, and that is added by the rhubarb. it lasts quite a while (20 to 30 minutes) and then it the middle part smells of what I can suspect is the moonflower (I have never smelled that before and I cannot connect it with anything else), the rose and by the end It does actually remind me of Deci Dela… powedery but “orange” in a way… The powdery orange drydown of Deci Dela was at least 3 times stronger than this, though.
There is a smokey “something” going down on the drydown too, but it is really too faint to tell… Maybe the sandalwood.
The patchouli I cannot detect in this for the life of me….

I sprayed it on my hand, and under the fruits smelt something familiar and “very Nina Ricci”. Now it’s closer to to dry down, and i suddenly recalled: Deci Dela! Are Jean Guichard (Deci Dela’s nose) and Aurelien Guichard related?
