By the editors · 2 min readLes Belles de Ricci opens with an unusual vegetal clarity—crisp tomato leaf and mint create a green, almost savory first impression that feels more garden than perfume counter. The basil adds a peppery brightness, while orange tempers the herbaceousness just enough to keep it from tipping into cooking-herb territory. This is not the polite green of most florals; it has an earthy, almost resinous quality that recalls wet stems and broken foliage.
As it settles, magnolia and freesia soften the composition without sweetening it. The florals remain translucent, never overpowering the green base. Fig leaf in the dry down reinforces that outdoor quality—milky sap and sun-warmed bark—while raspberry adds a subtle fruitiness that feels like an afterthought rather than a feature, just enough to prevent the scent from becoming austere.
This is fragrance as botanical study, best suited to those who find conventional florals too sugary or predictable. It wears close, fades quickly, and feels decidedly nineties in its refusal to seduce.
