Nina Ricci will launch Mademoiselle Ricci in August. The new fragrance for women is meant as a tribute to a fashion collection that Ricci introduced in the United States in the 1960s.*
Mademoiselle Ricci was developed by perfumer Alberto Morillas; notes include rose, oleander, pink pepper, musk and white wood.
Nina Ricci Mademoiselle Ricci will be available in 30 ml Eau de Parfum; I will update with additional sizes when I can.

* Note: Mademoiselle Ricci is apparently unrelated to a 1960s fragrance of the same name.
Update: Mademoiselle Ricci is a woody floral. It will be available in 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

Really the same bottle as Ricci Ricci and a different name?
Talk about sending mixed messages!
I will probably see this very soon after it launches and report back.
I don´t remember what oleander smells like.
I don’t know what that means — perhaps they’re adopting this as the “house bottle”? Or they just did not want to spend $ on developing a new bottle? Or…???
The pink oleander that grew near the library where we used to live smelled exactly like cherry flavored Jolly Ranchers to me.
Ack.
Bottle looks like it could be a flanker.
The bottle is in fact evocative of the very femmine fashion I associate with Nina Rici, and it has the straight up from the “waist line” of a 60′s sheath dress.
On the other hand, the juice doesn’t evoke the sixties at all for me. I don’t think even Julia Child (the goddess of 60′s gourmet cooking) had heard of pink peppercorns in the 60′s, much less imagined them in her perfume.
I don’t think the juice is meant to call up the 60s, but would love to see that fashion collection!
I’m a rose ho, so this sounds rather pretty, if unexciting to me, and I like the 30 ml size and pretty bottle. Ricci also tends to be a house that works well for me, so this will definitely go on my Try list.
Hope it works!
This bottle is wonderful.
