Nina Ricci is a French fashion house founded in 1932 in Paris by Maria Ricci, known as Nina Ricci, and her son Robert. Nina created exquisite, feminine dresses, while Robert took care of the business and came up with the idea of offering perfumes under the brand as well. You can read more about its history in our article The History of Nina Ricci.
The first fragrance, Cœur-Joie, was launched in 1946 in a bottle designed by the crystal house Lalique. Two years later came the legendary L’Air du Temps (1948), with its bottle topped by two doves, a symbol of peace after the war, which is still sold today. Since 1998 Nina Ricci has been part of the Spanish group Puig.
