Premier jour means first day, and Nina Ricci treats that own translation literally, sweet pea and mandarin orange arriving bright and immediately fresh in an appropriately optimistic opening. Gardenia and orchid carry that optimism through the entire middle, soft and romantic without the composition ever feeling heavy or overdone at all. Musk, sandalwood, woodsy notes, and vanilla ground the dry down in warm, comforting depth that lingers gently on skin for many long hours.
Daytime elegance and evening plans both suit this floral Eau De Parfum equally well, genuinely versatile in a way many perfumes rarely manage. Nina Ricci built Premier Jour Perfume around something remarkably hopeful, entirely worthy of the fresh, promising start its own poetic, optimistic name suggests.
