Premier Jour Nina Ricci 2001

Refreshing Sweet Pea
Premier Jour by Nina Ricci is a crisp and refreshing floral on my skin, something that I tend to crave when the weather is unbearably hot.
I was first introduced to this fragrance by my best friend a few years ago. It was a part of her collection, however she never wore it. She was forever faithful to her signature Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana at that time, so she never dared to spritz on anything else. It's a shame because this fragrance is actually quite beautiful.
On the day that I tested Premier Jour, I had one man approach me in a cafe to compliment me on how fresh and lovely I smelt. To my nose, the most dominant accords are mandarin orange, sweet pea, orchid, sandalwood, musk and the slightest hint of vanilla.
Premier Jour falls into the fresh and clean floral category. The top notes are a tad citrusy due to the mandarin orange, and the drydown is pleasantly smooth and sweet due to the woodsy vanilla blend. This fragrance is fairly light in terms of projection, so I doubt it could offend anyone within close proximity.
It's quite an uplifting fragrance, hence the reason why I personally enjoy it more during Spring and Summer. I also adore its simplistic and crisp approach. Online discounters are selling this fragrance for a steal, so grab it while you can. I fear that it may have already been discontinued.
